It's a nice green can, that has to be a good start. I was drawn to this by the promise of hops galore, and I have to say that it failed to deliver. Perhaps I've been spoiled by the proper amount of hops in real decent beers (Japanese brewers take note). Yebisu green is OK, but not worth the 200+ Yen price tag.
On the right we have a prime example of Bintang: Bali's best beer. It was as tasty and refreshing as I remember, but perhaps the 730 Yen that I paid for it was influencing my tastebuds. Even in tourist gouging Bali that would buy 7 bottles. The price one pays for import beer in Japan it seems. (I havn't found any Newcastle Brown here yet - thankfully). It was accompanied by much more reasonably priced burritos which went down a treat. Before that we had massive Yakitori sticks in Osu Kannon, which is like a big bohemian market just out from the centre of the city. You can buy all sorts of clothes and food and stuff. If it were Britain it would be full of stupid Vegan shops and lesbians, but in Japan it's all about MEAT and guys who all look and act really gay. Now I've fixed my bike I'm going to head to an izakaya on Saturday for more tasteage,
