No, its a supermarket called Daei. Its 4 stories, with the supermarket on the first floor and its own department store on floors 2-4 (including a 100yen shop, Mrs. Cheapy's favorite).

Is asahi supposed to be decent japanese beer? I thought it was horrible when I tried it.

Thats so funny.(the packaging)

Perfect... I could take care of many gifts with those. Hook me up CheapyD!

That sure fills me with the Christmas spirit...

Bart: Hey, where'd that cool creepy Santa come from?
John: Japan. Except over there they call him "Annual Gift Man" and he
lives on the moon.

That is awesome how they have the packaging setup that way.

I read that they have just launched near beer for children in Japan. D, you gotta get a photo of that!!!!

Heh, we have Daiei here in Hawaii, but they don't sell the gift-wrapped beer I'm afraid.

Kirin is my favorite J-Beer.

I've only ever found one place that sold it, A Japanese-National run Karaoke/Suchi bar, called Otani.

Does anyone know what Otani means?

I had some sapporo beer the other day not bad stuff at all.

Yebisu is very good, though I dunno about canned.
Stay the away from Orion, however.

Truth be told, I had considered giving away six-packs of beer I've made as gifts; I found that there aren't too many people that I haven't bought anything for. Perhaps if some bullshit secret santa thing pops up then I'll give some of my steam bear away.

Which also reminds me of the finest non-Japanese Japanese beer I've had; my neighbor a few doors down (who is light years better than me in brewing) made a Sapporo-style clone from scratch, but added gari (pickled ginger) to the wort as it fermented. ing fan-tas-tic!

at Cost Plus in the good ol US of A sells gift packs of beer. (better than Asahi IMO). So if you guys think its that cool then you can get some here. And after a little google search it looks live Bevo has them too (no suprise there, I love BevMo).
