The other day in Yokohama’s Chinatown district I discovered tins of alcohol-flavoured sweeties named “Beer Drops.” I’m not entirely sure it’s wise to introduce kiddies to booze at an early age, but perhaps alcoholics could suck on these things at work, to prevent getting the shakes, in the same way chain-smokers make use of nicotine patches.

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 […]
