A pleasant person at Nipponster has interviewed me and put it on their site. Very flattering for my ego, but I can’t help but think they’re misguided maniacs for choosing yours truly!
You can check the interview out here, in two parts: Nipponster Interview Part 1 Nipponster Interview part 2

Awesome! Today NY, tomorrow the world…. Didn’t I introduce you to the greatness that is Ginga Kogen? You can’t get it here in Hawaii though.
Does Kiren still sell their premium beers? They had those right before I left. They came with different beer glasses depending on the type of beer. They had various stouts, hefeweizen, fruity ales, etc. Maybe 7-11 had them exclusively? I remember having to walk to get them.
The alcohol/butcher shop in Kugenuma Kaigan on the way to the beach had some interesting ones too as I remember.
Yeah, I like those Kirin Premium drinks! Still going strong. Ginga Kogen is rare as rockinghorse-shit these days, though.
A wile ago, someone from the Ginga Kogen company contacted me and invited me to the brewery. I replied, but he never got back to me, sadly.
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 [ […]
Awesome mate!
Keep up the research.
Thanks!
you’re becoming a worldwide phenomenon!
Actually, somebody just asked if they could translate some of my stories into Hungarian!
Congrats!

The liquor store at Kibo has Ginga Kogen – both kinds. I thought you could get at at the conbini next your place though.
Wow, you’re like a real celebrity and stuff. If I send you a beer label, will you sign it and send it back to me.
Nice share. I really adore your blog.
