If all else fails, Amazon also carries a lot of the Shirakiku varieties. These in particular are what I have right now, though I purchased them locally: https://www.amazon.com/Hachimitsu-Umeboshi-Honey-Pickled-Plum/dp/B00886N4D8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=shirakiku+umeboshi&qid=1554134852&s=grocery&sr=1-1

​

I know most stores refrigerate them, but being heavily preserved, they're pretty shelf stable...I know when I was visiting Hawaii, Longs (Walgreens) had them out on shelves with no refrigeration, and they were just fine...I flew some home with me cross country, and they didn't suffer in the least.

It looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Dole-Pineapple-Juice-46-Oz/dp/B000Q5K1O4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409338863&sr=8-1&keywords=pineapple+juice

(Or, of course, you could just by in on Amazon, but you'll pay more.)

Sake is not actually "hard liquor", since it is not distilled. It is a rice wine, and usually has an ABV around 13-16%. If you're partial to sake, I would give shochu a try. Shochu can be made from barley, potato, rice, sugar, or buckwheat and from what I've sampled you can really taste a difference between these. While it is distilled, most I've seen are still only around 20-35% ABV, which makes them fairly light and crisp. I see people mentioned gin, and you might also like Genever, which is similar to gin(actually it is the origin/inspiration for gin), but has a bit more of a whiskey-like grain flavor, and the juniper is more subdued. Gin can also vary quite a bit, since it's basically a neutral spirit distilled with a custom mix of herbs & botanicals. So if you don't like one, that doesn't mean you won't like others. Traditional Dry London gin is usually heavy on juniper. For this style, I usually reach for Plymouth. Hendricks gin is another favorite. It's Scottish and has a crisp cucumber and rose petal flavor. Leopold's is an American gin and is a bit more citrus leaning than juniper.

Since you like red wines, you might also enjoy tawny port. Port tends to be sweet, but tawny is aged in oak for at least 2 years and loses some of the sweetness. These are essentially dessert wines, but I like to make an equal mix of port, sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth (or dry sherry) with a lemon twist. Still sweet, but the dry vermouth and lemon help curb that and the herbal flavors from the sweet vermouth adds some extra character.

I think the recommendation for an old fashioned is also good advice, but I would work with quality ingredients. I like to make mine with 2oz W.L. Weller Special Reserve, 2 heavy dashes Angostura bitters, either a demerara cube and 2 dashes of water or 2 dashes of demerara syrup (saves time). Add to a mixing glass the bitters and sugar+water/syrup. Muddle the cube until it is mostly dissolved. Add ice and the bourbon, and stir until mixed and chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with an ice cube(preferably a clear ice block), then twist an orange peel over the drink and drop it in. You can also add a cherry if you like, but I would recommend only using a Luxardo maraschino or Toschi amarena cherry since they aren't cloyingly sweet like the red-hot colored maraschino cherries and actually have a complex flavor that melds well with other ingredients. I know this might seem like I'm overdoing it, and trying to get this at many bars is a huge headache sometimes, but it's seriously way better than the typical old fashioned served with a bunch of small ice cubes, orange slice, and dyed candy cherry.

Papaya Lime Serrano Sauce

http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Fruit-Boysenberries-Syrup-15-Ounce/dp/B000I62E82/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1394215004&sr=1-1&keywords=oregon+boysenberries

Actually, the picture shows 2 pieces of pineapple and four pieces of ham, so the ratio really isn't that far off. But since you are upset, here you go.

In my nutrition practice I've seen many people successfully quit sodas, with different people/personalities responding better to different methods. Overall, I find the hard switch to healthier alternatives (not diet soda) works best for most people. Plain, purified water is undoubtedly the most wholesome option, and can be infused with fresh mint, dried berries (good use of dried Gojis) or citrus juice and/or peels. For a decent analog to the mouthfeel of soda, I agree with those who recommend sparkling mineral water such as Perrier, San Pellegrino, La Croix -- even Dasani (Coke) now has a zero-sugar sparkling water for those on a tight budget. Saw 12-packs selling 3-for-$10 the other day ... Another important element in my opinion is to ensure your body is saturated with micronutrients, especially those involved in energy metabolism like the B vitamins. A multivitamin/mineral supplement that can be mixed with water is a great beverage to sip all day long. By taking very small doses of these nutrients you vastly improve your chances of absorbing them properly. In my opinion, Beyond Tangy Tangerine is the best product in this category. For caffiene, which may be important in the transition at least, another great product is Pollen Burst, which is a powdered drink mix with B vitamins and green tea, as well as caffiene. I personally use both of these products Monday-Friday to get through the work week. Finally, it helps to have a buddy to embark on this change along with you, that way you can support and encourage each other. This could be your spouse, a friend, co-worker, etc. Good luck!

If you can't find it in a store, you can get it from Amazon...
