屠蘇(←読めますか?)/Medicinal sake

'*+.ALOHA.+*'

Do you know TOSO?

Toso (屠蘇), or o-toso, is spiced medicinal sake traditionally drunk during New Year celebrations in Japan.

Toso is drunk to flush away the previous year's maladies and to aspire to lead a long life.

For generations it has been said that "if one person drinks this his family will not fall ill; if the whole family does no-one in the village will fall ill", and has been a staple part of New Year's osechi cuisine in Japan.

The tososan(The medicinal sake) mixture is said to have originated as a prescription of the famous Chinese physician Hua Tuo during the Three Kingdoms period.

Ingredients have changed somewhat over time; some of the original Chinese ones were deemed at one point or another to be too potent for casual consumption.

Nowadays it is typically made from Japanese pepper, asiasari radix, apiaceae, cinnamon, dried ginger, atractylodes Japonica, Chinese bellflower and rhubarb, amongst others.

It is held to be effective medicinally and useful at the onset of colds.
