A spirited White Christmas à la japonaise
These two White Crane brand sake beers came as part of a fund raising event by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) named Keep the Lanterns Lit. Established after WWII largely by Canadians of Japanese descent it formed a centre for sharing Japanese culture, education, and social services. Its present building was funded primarily by a long term loan steadily repaid with discipline and reduced to a small manageable amount in 2020. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has deprived the Centre of its usual sources of revenue through rentals and events without materially off setting its expenses. So the JCCC is once again in debt. The Keep the Lanterns Lit event sold 450 dinners delivered to donors' homes by the directors and volunteers. I thoroughly enjoyed the sushi, mochi dinner but since I don't drink the White Crane sake beer is left for photography. Merry Christmas to you.
