This weeks Photo Hunt topic is Heavy. As you can see in the photo, not only is Japanese Sake, 酒, “Heavy Liqueur”, but it is also heavy to transport in it’s traditional barrels. Each barrel contains about 70 liters of Sake, so your looking at 3-4 men to lift a single barrel. I took this photo last year on a trip to Hokkaido during Golden Week, the equivalent of the traditional Christmas Holiday in Australia. It was taken at a Sake Factory in Asahikawa, also famous for ramen. Unfortunately I was driving so I couldn’t enjoy the pleasure of a class or two.
As always the original Royalty Free Digital Photo is available on my .Mac site.

That is an excellent shot and a good example of heavy. I saw many similar heavy loads when I visited India (though not alcoholic) and did not even think of them when I looked for my heavy picture for this week.
Definately heavy at 70litres per barrel. Not only heavy, they’re high in alcohol content as well 
This is a great photo for the theme. Good post with all the translations too. Have a great weekend.
Terrific photo! That certainly looks like a heavy load. Great choice for this week’s Hunt.
Cool shot for the theme. Those sake barrels are heavy.
Great choice! Have a great weekend.
Those must be very heavy, as would a persons head by after a night of drinking sake.
Have a wonderful weekend
I’m glad I don’t have to pull that wagon… woof, too heavy.

That looks really heavy.
Excellent photo!
This is cool.I have never seen how they transport sake before. All the time I thought it was in small vases.
Come in for some fun in Criz’s Sanctuary and/or some serious matter in Insight Criz. Have a nice weekend!
Once again a perfect entry. I´m glad I don´t have to pull this heavy load - and I don´t have to drink all that Sake

Sake! You know, I never knew it’s supposed to be served warm. I learned that a long time ago. Great idea for the week…heavy barrels.
My heavy is posted…hope you can drop by and celebrate my birthday with me. Happy Hunting!
it is a heavy load
good traditional, looking shot pretty colors
Sake is a nice wine. Just drink moderately so you won’t get heavy head.
Certainly looks heavy! I wouldn’t want to pull that cart.
Yes i would say that’s pretty heavy if you just carry by hands, it really need that machine to carry all those heavy stuff. Happy weekend!
