As fascinating as that article and local trivia is, I’m a little shocked that this ever got past the “WP:Notability” screams from the Wikipedia HOA/gentry.
Maybe so, but much like “killdozer” it was catchy and memorable.

Quite the subtext, there.
They could really pull off 'Khornets"; but I suspect that names that only make sense in the context of warhammer theology aren’t desperately popular or useful.

Sounds too nice. Can Murder be its middle name? Ah, @semiotix beat me to it.

One of those brutes is a much higher investment than a single wasp, so it makes sense that their bastard threshold would be higher.
Wasps: “We’re cheap stinging bastards! Fuck you!”
Just from reading the label, that is Obara Shochu* with Honey.
*Shochu is like sake that has been distilled.
The ABV is 25% (which is high for shochu). It contains shochu, honey and sugars.
The giant hornets at the bottom are from the former town of Obara, which is now part of the City of Toyota in Aichi Prefecture. (Japan merged a bunch of towns into larger cities in the '90s to reduce administrative costs.)
The manufacturer is in the City of Tsushima in Aichi Prefecture. So, it is very much a local thing.
Lastly, it says that you should drink alcohol only after reaching the age of 20 and not while pregnant, nursing or driving.

Thanks! I picked this up in Iwakuni a few years ago but didn’t know what it was.
It tastes, pretty bad.
