Actually, it is true. You can find anything in a Japanese vending machine, including hard liquor and porn (printed and video). This machine was in a dark residential alley and was a -very- plain machine (just the one product, high enough that it was clearly not for kids). Looked like Sake...no pictures on the label... curious we, we gave it a shot. I tasted it... definitely *not* sake. He tasted it... no clue.
The next day we had our local guide in stitches when he finally managed to tell us what it was. blargh!
"Looks like "Sake"... but it tastes...weird..."
