[quote name='rabbitt']Is that place like a Sam's Club of the alcohol world?[/QUOTE]
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).
 
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.
 
[quote name='1modernboy']That sure fills me with the Christmas spirit...[/QUOTE]

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

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?
 
Yebisu is very good, though I dunno about canned.
Stay the fuck 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. fucking 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).

Zymergy? That's amazing! I've been brewing my own for a little less than a year now. I'm still not very good. It's good to hear another homebrewer on here though.

apparently, they dont wrap christmas up in a bunch of sentimental religious stuff, they know damn well its a corporate holiday and they dont try to hide it,
they just give gifts

Beats me, but I remember going to a place named Otani once or twice when I lived in Columbus. Some Japanese restaurant on the first floor of a corporate building.

One of the Chinese buffets near me sells Japanese beer. All the sushi places also sold Japanese beer. Can't say I liked any of the Japanese/Rice beers much at all.
 
[quote name='alonzomourning23']Is asahi supposed to be decent japanese beer? I thought it was horrible when I tried it.[/QUOTE]

I normally don't drink beer because I think it's nasty. But I ended up downing 3 of the big cans one night w/ friends with no feelings of revulsion.

What does that mean? Perhaps I'm a closet alcoholic, I just don't know it...
