Wakamezake, also known as "wakame sake or "seaweed sake",
is a Japanese sexual practice in which sake is poured down a nude
woman's chest, collecting in the space between her closed thighs and
pubic mound. The woman's partner then drinks from the makeshift cup. Wakamezake was allegedly performed along with nyotaimori
(the act of eating sushi from a woman's naked body), serving as a
"traditional finale" of sorts, but health code restrictions and
decency laws have sharply curtailed the practice. Wakamezake derives its name from the woman's pubic hair, which is said to drift in the sake like seaweed in the ocean.
