I was so awestruck when I found this extremely cheap beer in Okinawa that I had to take a picture. It’s about 80 US cents, or 40 English pence. And to make matters even more brilliant, the bar is near the beach! Sadly, after a couple of hours in the place, in my inebriated state, I forgot to jot down the address. Doh.
Please post the location. Saying it is near the beach on a tropical Island famed for its numerous beaches and bars is not much help. Yep it is happy two hours. The usual price per beer is 600 yen.
Sorry! I don’t remember the location except it’s in the centre of Naha. (I took the picture while on a trip a few months to freak out my friends in Tokyo.) I can tell you it’s on one of the main streets and the sign is quite prominent so you should be able to find it (if you go on a bit of a treasure hunt!)
The Guardian have printed a list of trendy bars and clubs to check out in Tokyo. A nice variety of watering holes are featured in the article, and I can vouch for most of them, especially the brew pubs and whiskey bars, although I have yet to try Stand S’s “mojito beer”, which sounds like [...]
A nicely-named bar in Sannomiya, Kobe. Hi, pals. Since this blog seems to get more traffic now than when I was actually writing it, I may as well start posting again. One afternoon a couple of weeks ago, 63,000 people checked out a story I wrote 3 years ago. It’s a bit like everyone buying [...]
Greetings! Sorry for my recent inactivity- it’s a protest about SOPA (honestly). I’ve put a new comic strip up over on LittleinJapan.com This time it’s about a disastrous double-date. Read the rest of it here!
I’ve just posted another comic strip up on my other site, Little in Japan. These will be more frequent now that the beach bars, beer gardens, and outdoor festivals are over for another year. This time, more domestic disputes and hangovers. Read more here!
Tokyo’s balmy summer evenings are perfect for a bit of outdoor beer-imbibing (except when there’s a bloody typhoon like today.) Where better to enjoy it than on the top of a skyscraper, under the stars? (you can’t see actually any stars, but you can achieve the same effect by signing up for an all-you-can drink [...]
I’ve finally put a new comic strip up on my other site, Little in Japan, after tons of slacking, procrastination, dealing with a high-maintenance woman, boozing, and hob-nobbing at parties. This time the disaster-prone, insecure English teacher, Dave, is horrified to discover he’s getting a new, young room-mate. Check it out at littleinjapan.com.
Rainy season is officially over, and it’s time for me to stock up on some new threads to sweat all over during the “super cool biz” summer. I thought I’d check out T-shitsu, who always have lots of specially-designed T-shirts with funny Japan-themed prints. There are lots of rib-tickling T-shirts on there as usual! (by [...]
Hello, and thanks for reading another of my increasingly infrequent missives! If I’m not posting much, it generally means there are lots of fun drink-related activities going on in Tokyo, and this month’s no exception. Last week was father’s day, and numerous beer-related novelty products were flying off the shelves of shops such as Tokyu [ […]

Thanks. I will try to find it. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Okinawa.
