Is this to illustrate the "mixed feelings" with which the general populace react to Yasukuni Shrine (see article next to this)? Or simply Dutch courage for those respecting the dead?

They're just going to open the taps!? Why, oh why, am I back in Canada at the wrong time of year!?

It looks like every one would have to drink some sake in the shrine when they visited there. I don't drink any alcohol at all.

I'm going there on the New Year's Day with a raffle ticket. See you everyone.
