Yukimizake means to drink Japanese sake while you enjoy watching snow falling. The word breaks down as follows: yuki = snow, mi = watch & zake = sake. According to the rules that govern haiku poetry writing, spring begins in February when the plum trees blossom. But we are still having snow days in Washington DC. So I guess it’s all right to raise the topic of yukimizake in spite of the date. Stay warm!
