For those of you who aren&#8217;t attempting Dry January, Brian reveals a mystery of the Orient that&#8217;ll keep you perky and bright no matter how many bottles of sake you drank last night&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The word for hangover in Japanese is &#8220;futsukayoi&#8221;, and if you plan on frequenting any\u00a0<em>izakaya\u00a0<\/em>(Japanese pubs) during your time in Japan you&#8217;ll probably have one to contend with at some point! But never fear &#8211; you&#8217;re in luck. If\u00a0you\u2019re a lightweight like me, these drinks can be a lifesaver.<\/p>\n<p>The two main ingredients of the typical Japanese hangover cure are turmeric and liver extract, or <em>ukon\u00a0<\/em>and <em>kanzouekisu<\/em>\u00a0in Japanese. What is liver extract you ask? Well, I had to check myself. Apparently, it\u2019s a solution made from animal livers, and was once the go-to treatment for a variety of health problems in Japan. It contains stuff like vitamin B-12, iron, and folic acid &#8211; ingredients that work like a booster for your liver to help process the alcohol through your system.<\/p>\n<p>You can find these liquid cure-alls in the energy drink section at almost any convenience store (<em>konbini<\/em>). This photo was taken at my local 711 (and no, I wasn\u2019t hungover at the time).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12706\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12706\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12706 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428.jpg\" alt=\"Hangover remedies galore\" width=\"1170\" height=\"804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-1024x704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-564x388.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-900x618.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-720x495.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-390x268.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-780x536.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_5428-510x350.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hangover remedies galore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the middle row are the two most popular hangover drink brands in Japan: Ukon no Chikara and Hepari-ze.

The main difference is the amount of turmeric and liver extract in each bottle, so you can choose &#8220;Super&#8221;, &#8220;Hyper&#8221; or &#8220;Premium&#8221; bottles\u00a0according to how much you think you&#8217;re going to be drinking.<\/p>\n<p>I have only tried the white bottle and the &#8220;Hyper&#8221;, but I couldn\u2019t really tell the difference so I just stick with the white one.

This picture shows one of the bottles you would take if you drank too much or ate too much.
