Epcot was one of Walt Disney's original visions. Originally standing for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, it was actually intended to be much more of the basis for Walt Disney World than the Magic Kingdom. Eventually however his initial vision proved too grand to be carried out and it became the less expansive park that you see today.

Epcot's Mitsukoshi Department Store Sake Counter

Tucked away in the very back of the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Epcot's Japan Pavilion is a subtle little bar that's set up for sake tasting. Sake is an alcoholic beverage that's made with fermented rice, and often referred to as "rice wine" even though the process of it's creation is much closer to that of a beer. Sake frequently has an alcohol content between 28%-20%, so it packs a little more punch than your typical beer or wine.
