Sake lovers have created a drinking game called Beku Hai where you roll a dice and the loser has to drink out of a cup with a hole in the bottom where you must put your finger over the hole; or there are pointed bottom cups. This means that you can’t put your cup down unless you empty your cup. It is just fun to drink with them with friends.
