Miki Quotes

“Dear God in heaven.”
Nik and Ban turned away, but Alek stood. Transfixed. “My God, y’all. She’s the worst goddamn dancer I’ve ever seen.”
“Turn away. It’ll hurt your eyes. Turn away!”
― Shelly Laurenston, Here Kitty, Kitty!

“Trust me Miki. Nothing cures heartache faster than a bunch of girls singing pop songs badly at the top of thier lungs.”
― Mark Crilley

“You cook the noodles, add the same toppings as with keihan—boiled chicken, sweet-simmered shiitake, and shredded omelet—and pour chilled chicken broth over the lot. It’s a clever idea—and perfect for summer, when hotter dishes lose their appeal. Even after moving far from the island where she grew up, Kaneko still carried its flavors deep inside her. As for that sweet milk, it’s another Amami specialty.”
At a signal from Nagare, Koishi set a carton of milk in front of Saki.
“Hanada no Miki?” read Saki. “Can’t say I recognize it?”
The carton was decorated with a red sun and blue waves.
“Miki is a traditional fermented drink enjoyed in Amami and Okinawa. People used to make it at home, but these days there are dedicated manufacturers. It’s basically rice, sugar, sweet potato, and water. Very sweet when it’s fresh, but as it ferments it turns a little sour—which is why children were usually given it right after it was made. What you sipped on with your noodles was, of course, Kaneko’s homemade version—freshly prepared.”
