Looking to Buy Habushu Snake Sake Online?
It's a Snake in a Bottle of Liquor! What's There Not to Like?
This craze called Habushu ハブ酒 is flooding across Japan, China, Philippines and South Korea like wildfire. This oddity of a drink originates from Okinawa, and the fellow inside the bottle here on the left is a Trimeresurus flavoviridus, or simply a pit viper snake, which is also pretty similar to the western rattlesnake. These snakes are not to be trifled with, a bite from one of these guys has the potential to kill! This oddity is first mixed with honey and herbs, which is the reason it has its yellow tint. Then one these magnificent reptilian beasts are lowered into the liquid so they can look their most dashingly self for the rest of time, that is if it remains in the bottle. But of course, there are many ways to get them there. Sending Habushu through the mail to many countries seems to be illegal. However I've seen some sold on Amazon before, although I think they keep taking them down. You can double check whenever the mood strikes and see if you can get lucky. It's not always the snake in a bottle though it's a lot of the smaller bottle ones that you can see in the video embeded on this page.- Sake (rice wine)
- Shochu
- Vodka
- Whiskey
- Moonshine (equivalents like Everclear)

(if you got a place to purchase from comment below!)Update 2019:
I just learned about a gnarly drink called BABY MOUSE WINE from China. I'll stick with my Habushu. Also, I did happen to get some concentrate of habushu from a friend that came back from Okinawa. I didn't like it, it tasted like really bad cough medicine. I still want to try the sake straight from the bottle with the snake in it and NOT concentrated! Muri DESU!Want to bring snake wine or habu sake from Asia into the U.S.?
Can I bring back snake wine or habu sake from Asia? While all imports of alcoholic beverages are subject to certain restrictions, snake wine is also subject to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) regulations. The main concern for bringing snake wine into the U.S. when a snake used in the wine that are endangered species, and therefore inadmissible. The wine would have to be inspected by an FWS specialist to determine if the snake was an endangered species. If a FWS inspector is not available, the wine would be detained until it can be inspected, and you would be responsible for making arrangements for its forward shipment if the snake were not an endangered species. For more information, please contact the Fish and Wildlife Service at 1-800-344-WILD.

You can however get some snake sake from these guys, I've periodically looked online and there are very few options, these guys are the cheapest and it's pretty much the same thing overall if you still want to try it (or something even weirder).
