×Smash-the-Bowl Rice Wine
Why you must eat itRough earthenware bowls are filled to the brim with rice wine, drunk down standing in one breath, then hurled into a corner underfoot to shatter. The heaped mound of shards has become the scene of this spot. The wine is low in strength, sweet and cloudy, soft to the mouth. The sound of breaking bowls carries one after another and lifts the air of the street. Those who do not drink can just taste. The show is loud, but the wine itself is plain.
Smash-the-bowl wine is said to come from a folk custom of northern Shaanxi, the act of breaking the bowl carrying meanings of warding off bad luck and rousing spirit. The rice wine is often near-homemade and strongly sweet. Mind the overindulgence and the shards. Prices and hours are a guide, so check the pour and strength on site.
