Yet another bar has been caught “accidentally” managing to poison its apparently palateless patrons by serving them bleach instead of the expected booze.
The Nagano prefecture chain izakaya called 119 on the night of the 11th complaining that a number of its customers had suddenly started to fall ill.
According to their explanation, a member of staff had “mistakenly” filled a traditional “tokkuri” ceramic sake bottle with a powerful bleach they used to clean the premises.
They then served this bottle to a group of 9 patrons, 5 of whom fell ill and had to be hospitalised, with 2 undergoing treatment for minor poisoning. None were seriously injured.
According to the patrons, the bleach was colourless but did smell of chlorine, not that this stopped them downing it.
Coming so soon after a very similar if slightly more convincing “accident,” there has been some speculation as to just how accidental the poisoning could have been – not least because it resembles an ideal way for vengeful staff to get back at customers who annoyed them, and were apparently too drunk to discern bleach from booze.

As a business, how do you recover? No I really want to know. You can't just say "Yeah sorry. How about coming back next time? We'll try not to poison you with bleach."
The fact that they drank it speaks volumes on the taste and smell (and quality) of what they serve. I may want to get drunk but I won't drink it if it smells like CHLORINE.
Makes you wonder what else would they just uncaringly drink.
If you're already drunk enough, you might just drink anything.
Alcoholics are not too discriminating if they can get cheap booze.
What if it's an inside job though? Even some or all of the 'victims' could have been in on it, hoping to either get money out of the deal, or hurt business for the establishment. I'm not sure why any bar would purposely store bleach in bottles identical to what they serve patrons with, though I suppose it's possible.
This certainly doesn't give good advertisement for the usual taste of their sake...
Bleach in Japan seems way different in general, most of the stuff worked with smells like semen or rotten cucumber, (mostly was imported US stuff and some from EU).
Na, bleach smells like chlorine in the EU. You're cleaning with jizz by the sound of it.
"most of the stuff I worked with"
forgot the "I"
Can't speak for every country in the world, but bleach here in western europe smells like bleach.
Wow that's really helpful.
Honestly most sake tastes more rancid then bleach. I personally do not find it at all unusual that these accidents appear frequently.

Crop your fucking YT links, noob!
This is probably why Bleach is so bad... Living up to it's namesake and all.
"...there has been some speculation as to just how accidental the poisoning could have been – not least because it resembles an ideal way for vengeful staff to get back at customers who annoyed them, and were apparently too drunk to discern bleach from booze."
"Hey y'all! These customers ain't tippin', and they're gropin' tha waitresses to boot! Y'all know what time it is!"
damn economy forcing people to serve bleach as saki.
Yea I don't want the godamn sword swinging thunder cunts of the former I want the cute mahjong players of the latter.
Yes, Damn you Economy... Damn you to Hell...
How in the hell could anyone have a glass of bleach placed in front of them and not notice? It has a pungent and unique smell and, in pure form, it makes your eyes water. Either these customers are already so drunk that they have no senses left or the local sake is horribly toxic to begin with.
One time, the switchover solenoid in my '78 GMC (dual fuel tanks) went bad so I had to siphon gas from one tank to the other. After getting a good mouthful of 87 octane, I went inside and tried washing my mouth out with a shot of some cheap ass vodka my parents had in the liquor cabinet. Honestly, I think the gas tasted better.
i see 2 were designated drivers.
Talk about "cleansing you pallet".
maybe this is a desperate way to make publicity to bleach, after defeating aizen nobody cares about it
Cant be worse than liquid nitrogen
BAN-KAI! Er- BLOWING-CHUNKS!
The fuck is the difference. Your drinking poison and it tastes shit either way regardless if its alcohol or bleach.
Seems legit, same odor.
I don't see how this doesn't happen all the time. I mean, don't your sake bottles look like the bleach's under the sink?
lol not mine. course I don't buy cheap booze in a plastic bottle.
"an ideal way for vengeful staff to get back at customers who annoyed them"
Finally the Captain Obvious spoke. I cannot imagine it any other way.
If it took them that long to find out about this, then that hollow excuse for a restaurant should check their equally hollowed workers and see what's eating their guts to serve bleach to the society of souls in Nagano...
It sounds completely insane to say that they did this intentionally.
So what I stop my mom from drink bleach as she thought It was bleach.
Uh...What? O_o
wut
can't they tell the difference as soon as they bring the cup to their face?
I should really learn to read these to the end >.>
I'm confused now. Does bleach taste like sake, or sake taste like bleach???
"I'm confused now. Does bleach taste like sake, or sake taste like bleach???"
Neither. Much like listening to Vogon poetry, being subjected to Bleach is a horrid experience.
Why don't you go try it and then tell us :D
So... Japan getting into fake food business with China now?
Still better than One Piece.
