You can upcycle virtually any piece of furniture as long as it has (or had, at one time) drawers or cubbies behind the doors....

When I was younger, I always associated amazake (甘酒) with the taste of alcoholic sake. It was that distinct aroma of sake in the drink that gave me the impression that it would be too strong, so I would always pass on the drink when someone offered it.
