A Japanese bar has been ordered shut after they mistakenly served bleach to their customers instead of sake, hospitalising two customers who apparently did not notice they were downing a cleaning agent.
The Niigata prefecture izakaya served two men in their sixties sake one evening, but soon both were complaining of sore throats.
They were later admitted to hospital, and it was discovered they had been chugging an alkaline cleaning solution rather than the booze they expected. Neither man was severely injured by the tipple.
Local authorities investigated the bar and discovered their staff had for some reason poured the detergent into a labelled 1.8 litre sake bottle, and then mistaken it for actual sake and served it to the customers.
They punished the bar by ordering them to stay shut for a grand total of 3 days.
The bar has issued a boilerplate statement of contrition:
“We caused great inconvenience to our patrons. We will ensure this never happens again by properly managing our cleaning agents and instructing our staff.”
Both the bar and authorities are silent as to what all this implies about the expected quality of their beverages (or the discerning palette of their patrons).

how can you mistake bleach for sake....the hell.
I thought they were talking about the anime "Bleach." That would have been much worse...
Anyway...mistake my ass...
So much for valuing the customer.
After drinking bleach, I am surprise they did not end up with a hollowed throat...
It was likely extremely dilute.
i expected bad "Bleach" comments as the prior one, so please consider yours as "good" and +0.1'ed
No, it would hollow your stomach
double entendre~
Not gonna lie, this made me remember this immediately:

Did you read the article? They had it stored in a sake bottle.
It's impossible to do that, the smell alone would tell you "Hey, this isn't sake!" along with the obvious shape of the bottle.
I think that this was an attempt at murder, able to be explained away as an accident. Investigate the server and the bar extremely well police, it's going to pay off.
Local authorities investigated the bar and discovered their staff had for some reason poured the detergent into a labelled 1.8 litre sake bottle, and then mistaken it for actual sake and served it to the customers.
As I said, i call bullshit on this. Again: the smell, the color, etc. etc. etc.
No, they are basically taking the bar owners word for it and you NEVER DO THAT in cases like this.
That must be Ninja work!

while it is possible, would be exciting if it was a murder attempt. I've seen one like this case before.
Would you want your server to put his nose over everything they serve and breath in and out? That wouldn't make you uncomfortable?
I'll bet one employee poured the bleach into the bottle to store it out of the way, and another employee grabbed it when the first wasn't around, so the misunderstanding was quite easily done.
Easily done, but completely unacceptable. If there was no other choice than to use a sake bottle, they should have very clearly marked it in at least a couple ways.
Same guy here.
Agreed.
Guys, apparently you don't realize how much bleach smells. I can be halfway across a room and smell it when someone opens a bottle of bleach.
I'm no "Wolverine" either.
"...an attempt at murder..."
There would be practically no chance of that working, so that is extremely unlikely. The patrons are obviously going to notice that something is not right after the first swig, and most people would notice the smell even before tasting it. While bleach could technically kill someone if they drank a lot of it and didn't seek medical help, the chances of that happening would be pretty slim.
The bleach may have not even have been full strength. Since it was in a different bottle, that may have been because it was diluted with water. That could also explain why the smell was less noticeable.
No one said that murderers are always bright. I can very well see a murderer trying this and having it fail on him.... hell, come to think of it, they had someone try to kill their child in this manner 5 years ago in the state where I live.
The article clearly states that the Bleach was poured into a sake bottle for some unknown reason. You also realize that both liquids are a clear substance so it's hard to distinguish between the two unless you actually try to smell it, which in a bar environment would be hard considering the smell of cigarettes and booze would linger about making everything that much harder.
Depends on the bleach, there are various kinds of viscosity and colour, which should serve as an indication about what it is. I guess in this case, the bleach was clear? But we will never know....maybe the staff was retarded, sleepy, drunk, etc. not much details other than, they fucked up.
I have to agree about the bar setting being a possible factor in this case.
It's probably due to the highly refined tastes that the japs have. After all, they eat 3-year-old fermented fish and call it a delicacy.
I've actually eaten that quite a few times, and it's petty tasty! Fermented fish is actually eaten in quite a few parts of Europe and many other places.
ive eaten balut, and it's yummy.xD
I've seen bumper stickers in the US, reading, "Legalize Lutefisk!" (Lutefisk is a Nordic "food" made of fish soaked in lye.)
There's a good /reason/ why it's still outlawed!
But lutefisk is perfectly legal. You can buy it in restaurants everywhere.
Read the article, stupid.
"...and discovered their staff had for some reason poured the detergent into a labelled 1.8 litre SAKE BOTTLE"
No shit son...why dont you read what i wrote too.... Im asking a question and you reply with a quote that sumerizes with doubt about what transpired. Key word in your quote is FOR SOME REASON, and that reason is what we are talking about.
Why dont you take an english course on literary analysis before attempting to correct others.
I guess it speaks volumes of the quality of drinks they serve at the bar.
one easy way to mistake bleach for sake is if the customers ordered a "hot sake" so the bleach comes hot and u maybe can drink it without notice that it is a bleach.
Apparently it's not that hard. It says a lot about how bad sake truly is.
I'm curious about this...I live in Niigata and the best sake in Japan is made here. There is more to this story, obviously.
There's one similarity.
They both burn anyways.
Then you must drink some shitty ass sake.
The stuff this AC drinks goes down like water.
Sake smells nothing like bleach.... at all. Nor does it taste like bleach.. Beyond that, how would Bleach end up being served to people? This all smells a bit off.
...no pun
Those filthy whites sure love to fail in life.
*grabs popcorn*
can I have some? Il give you some of my candy.
What are you taking about?
Obligatory unrelated racist comment? Check.
Exploding reference to China? Check.
Reference to unrelated anime associated only due to name? Check.
Anything we missed?
*borrows anon 09:48's popcorn*
Other than tiny penis keyboard warrior who would never say this shit in real life that's about it.
Bitch got fuckvoted down!
/Thread, the end.
copypasta much?
time for shitty copypasta quotes to be added to the censorship filter.
I can just hear all the uncreative yellow monkeys' impotent frustration as their lame copypasta gets blocked ^^
That must've been Chinese sake.
If that was Chinese sake, instead of sore throats, their insides would explode.
If artefact wrote such an article about anywhere else, it would be an exaggeration. For japan, it's an accurate description of idiocity of their civil structures and their servants.
also, lol at two people not realizing they were downing bleach. Goes to show you that most 'experienced' drinkers just chug and pretend they are experienced while not knowing first thing about liquid they consume.
You're either really ignorant or you've just never been incredibly drunk before. I knew a few drunks who practically drank cleaning detergent and they were so drunk they couldn't tell what the fuck they were chugging down.
I imagine they couldn't tell because they just downed it before they realised...
God I'm fucking sick of Japan. Same fucking dumb shit, same old monkey see moneky do bullshit.
FUCK Japan and Fuck their childish porn anime loli Bullshit.
