Hehe, that's right.

The booze those moonfolk in the bamboo forest have is way too polished.

This is the taste of Earth.

So the Moon and Earth really are different...?

Well, duh.

Moonfolk hate the impurity of life and death...

Yet drinking and eating are both connected to those.

Rice for instance buds in the spring, grows in the summer, and is harvested in the fall.

It's like an embodiment of death and rebirth.

Since plants are alive...

It makes sense that Earth's food would taste better.

Well, I mean, it's not like I've ever tried Moon food.
