Japan tiki islands?

Pages: 1 4 replies

Are any of the Polynesian Islands controlled by Japan?

My geography skills are pretty scant, so this may seem like a lame question. I've created a new drink with an asian twist, and I want to give it a proper tiki name.

The recipe will come as soon as I give it a good name, and I finish the testing stage. Hic! Hic! Burp.

This reminds me, will there be another Tiki Central Drink Contest?

No way! The Japanise controlled the Marshalls and other areas in the tropical Pacific before WW-II, but as you remember they were bombed into unconditional surrender Aug 8 & 10 1945. The only thing even close that they own now is Okinawa which we returned back to them a while back and it is only semitropical and similar in culture to Japan.

Maybe you could call it the Saipan which is a US teritory island in the tropical Pacific with an Asian sounding name. :wink:

No, but they still fished them to death.

See "The Happy Isles of Oceana" - Paul Theroux.

why don't you call it the "Captain Tsuruhiko Kuroda" or the "Lee Marvin?" :)

Would you consider the Singapore Sling a tiki drink? If so (or not so), then why?
