Pounding Sake Bombs and New Foods

Ever pounded a sake bomb before? If not, you might be missing out on one of the littlest things in life that could make life more meaningful to live! I'm blessed to have that one friend in my life who can break me out of my shell and try new things that feel like adventures although they are actually quite small in significance. (But I believe that the more you value the littlest things in life, you can tend to view life on the brighter side more than not, and who doesn't want to enjoy life as best they can?) Without this friend, I would never have experienced the fun and enjoyment in pounding a sake bomb (among other things I have never tried before, such as making paper clips jump).
If you've taken sake bombs before, did you drop the tiny cup of sake into your larger cup of beer with your hands? If so... THAT'S BORING! But no offense - at least you've taken sake bombs before ;) But when I ask if you've "pounded" sake bombs before, I am referring to setting up the tiny cup of sake on a bridge of chopsticks lying on the rim of your larger cup of beer... and when ready, you POUND the surface they're sitting on with force, allowing physics to do the sake bomb drop for you, and then you chug your drink like a champ ;) If you haven't pounded a sake bomb before, I recommend you try it with a good group of friends - you won't be sorry O:) well... maybe not until the next day ;)

Also, here are a couple of dishes you can try with your sake bombs some time. These are offered at a Japanese restaurant called "Umami" in San Francisco, California, United States.

Hamachi "Pastrami" Carpaccio

Ahi "Poke" Tacos

Both dishes are delectable. Give it a try and let me know what you think ;)
