Kampai!

I think "KAMPAI" is my favorite phrase for "Cheers!" This Japanese expression which translates to "Bottoms Up," or "Empty Cup," quickly became one of our favorite Japanese expressions to say while traveling throughout Japan. Especially when kampai-ing over good quality cold sake as in the picture below!
Now I need these cheers glasses, so I can have people over to toast in every language!
