Forgive the ignorance of this gaijin, but what is oshibori?
Posted by: Eddy on June 5, 2004 12:17 AMWhat is oshibori anyway? Can I take a guess? Soap? Is it soap?

Posted by: nils on June 5, 2004 04:16 PMI actually beat myself up for five minutes at dinner the other week, trying to remember 'oshibori'. The really sad part is that the first word to just leap into my head was the right one, but I dismissed it and kept searching.
Sometimes you just shouldn't doubt your initial reaction.
