Christmas from Japan

My friend just returned from Japan yesterday. He brought me a wonderful Christmas gift. Of course, it's for cooking and very designer. The best part is I can use it with my whisky. There was a silicon orb and small box in a stamped muslin bag. They both are for making drinks cold.

Round Ice Cube maker and Whisky Stones from Japan
The orb is for making spherical ice cubes. The top has a small hole in it you fill with water. When you get it out of the freezer, it easily splits in half to give you a round ice cube. The small box contained eight small square stones, sometimes called whisky stones. You freeze the dark soapstone and use them in your drinks. They keep your drinks ice cold with out watering them down.

The Hakushu Single Malt Whisky from Japan


Later we enjoyed some whisky from Japan from The Hakushu Distillery. I got to use the round ice cube!

Round Ice Cube lonely and waiting for some whisky to keep him company.
