POPSA foreigner hopes to revive Japan's flagging spirits "Philip loves sake, but he also loves Japanese traditional culture," says Hiroshi Ujita, a Kyoto brewery owner. "His character is almost Japanese. He understands the Japanese way of thinking, our style of daily life. You can taste it in his sake." Harper has also become something akin to the great white hope for sake: Sales of sake, once the nation's favorite drink, have plummeted here. It's been written off as "an old man's drink" as younger consumers turn to beverages such as beer, whiskey and shochu, a fiery local spirit.

POPSNew, improved bartenders can be quite old-fashioned: 8 bartending philosophies They give a couple of shouts-out to the Bay Area: Daniel Hyatt at the Alembic Bar in San Francisco…The movement is at its fullest flower on the West Coast, with its 12-month growing season… At Cyrus in Healdsburg, Calif., Scott Beattie’s Meyer Beautiful incorporates Charbay Meyer lemon vodka.… Martin Cate’s Forbidden Island in Alameda, Calif., offers a Don the Beachcomber formula called the Nui Nui, with fresh citrus, pimento liqueur, cinnamon and vanilla syrups, and aged Barbados rum.

POPSHistory Is Repeating, When Will the Masses Wake Up? "At the present time, behind the scenes there is a night-and-day movement of collateral.
