I recall visiting a nearby Western Bar in Aiea with my good friend from Senior high school and sharing a number of "Shots" of alcohol that you pour some mixture of strong and sweet right into a little "shot glass" and down it together a single fell gulp.

Those were fun and crazy times along with the little buzz from that alcohol made the fishing line dancing, singing and general laughter more raucous, titillating and wild. There were feeling of release, letting our hair down and having in the jumpy, jolly fun from the night. My age and my better sense wont permit me to do shots now, but also for what it was, that has been an experience and there was obviously a bond tied with my buddy, which i will enjoy forever, made on those adventurous nights.

Unlike the shots we enjoyed, Vietnamese o-choko use in sharing a container of sake is really a completely different experience. Slow, careful and reflective, the miscroscopic cups are sipped over a prolonged moment of quiet or discussion. The sake sharing between 2 different people builds an in-depth bond in Vietnam and confirms feeling of due to being on the same page and a good feeling of communication and bonding called "Kizuna".

You might have seen Prime Minister Abe pouring a bit of O-sake into President Obama’s cup at Sushi Jiro through the US President’s official trip to Vietnam. There was serious topics to talk about and the bond between your US and Vietnam should be strengthened, re-affirmed and bolstered for brand new regional challenges faced by both Nations.

Exactly the same way people might relax at dinner and have a deep discussion over wine, or even with a cigar and brandy inside a quiet study, o-sake is sipped lightly between bites of food or bits of snack. Whether between husband and wife after having a long day’s work, between long-time friends while they get up to date and reminisce around the ancient days, or business partners fleshing out new opportunities for corporate growth, the gesture of topping off an o-choko cup of sake, a small bow of thanks as well as a reflective cut in the cup back to the table or counter, is a sure way relations are deepened in Vietnam.
