Trade has made this sea—which washes against the United Kingdom to the west...

Originally constructed in 1611 and rebuilt in 1810, Hirosaki Castle (also known as Tatsuoka Castle) is one of the 12 surviving feudal castles in Japan and the northernmost of them.

The Booze-Soaked Lives of Wild Animals

December 3, 2024

A gag in “Piker’s Peak,” a Looney Tunes cartoon from 1957, plays off the trope of the Saint Bernard rescue dog carrying brandy to warm up an avalanche victim. After digging Yosemite Sam out of the snow, the dog opens the barrel in its collar to reveal a cocktail shaker and martini glass, and ignores the frozen Sam as it mixes itself a drink. There’s something charmingly funny about the image of an animal drinking alcohol; it seems so...

Nectar Soda

December 3, 2024

Though Cincinnati is best known for breweries, another effervescent beverage has a long history in the Queen City: the nectar soda. Home to the oldest pharmacy college in the U.S. west of the Alleghenies, the Eclectic Medical Institute (1845-1952), and Lloyd Brothers Pharmacists, Cincinnati was long on the forefront of the pharmaceutical industry.
