Habushu

These snakes are native to parts of Southeast Asia, including large island groups such as the Philippines, Ryukyus, and Japan.

The awamori is first mixed with herbs and honey giving the clear liquid a yellow hue.

When the viper is thawed and awakens, it will quickly die in an aggressive striking manner, which is what most producers look for.

[citation needed] The manufacturer will then put the Habu in an ethanol bath for a month to preserve it.

A Habu snake is able to mate for as long as 26 hours, which causes some to believe that a drink of habushu may help sexual dysfunction in men.
