\nMe: Excuse me, but there’s a problem with some of your stock.<\/p>\n
Manager: What?<\/p>\n
Me: This sake. It’s nama sake, it’s unpasteurized, and if it’s not refrigerated it will go bad. It’s probably not safe to drink either, I don’t think spoiled sake is something I’d want to drink.<\/p>\n
Manager (showing no interest in looking at the bottle): They ship me stuff, I put it where they tell me.<\/p>\n
Me: Right, but they apparently didn’t tell you this needs to go in the fridge. <\/p>\n
Manager (still no interest in looking at the bottle): Look, I told you, they ship me stuff, I put it where they tell me.<\/p>\n
Me: Ok, but it even says on the bottle to “keep refrigerated”. If it’s gone bad, or if it’s a health risk, you aren’t going to at least take it off the shelf?<\/p>\n
Manager: Nobody’s returned any of it yet.<\/p>\n
Me: Well, you just started carrying this. I’ve been living here 3 years, this is the first time I’ve seen nama anywhere in a state store.<\/p>\n
Manager: I’m telling you, they ship me stuff, I put it where they tell me. You don’t have to buy it if you don’t want it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
And yes, I’m notifying the PLCB and ACHD including store and date\/time of visit…<\/p>\n
I’d like to think that if I went to a manager\/owner of a privately owned store and said, “hey, one of your products is definitely gone off and might be bad for someone to drink” that their response wouldn’t be “so?”<\/p>\n

On the way home tonight I stopped at a PCLB store (state owned liquor and wine but no beer store) to pick up a bottle of cheap sake. Good sake is hard to find here, but at least PLCB stocks Sho Chiku Bai Nigori, a fine table\/drinking nigori.
