If you're like us, by now you're neck deep in year-end parties, and you may be already suffering from bonenkai (忘年会）burnout—so common in Japan at this time of year.
Just remember that you can always spice things up—especially at BYOB bashes—by bringing along something unexpected.
Cocktess Curry Chamery, a new drink from the same folks who manufacture Ramune, might do the trick. It's curry-flavored non-alcoholic bubbly that is sure to induce some wide-eyed "eeeeehhhhhh"s and plenty of giggles.
Containing honey and apple juice along with curry spices, it doesn't taste too bad either.
