nzlegend 1 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Post and share your opinions on the best "stuff in japan" foods, beer, drinks, whatever. Here are few of my favourites. #Chewing Gum Hands down the best by far is CloretsXP. The others lose their taste in 5 mins flat but not Clorets # Chocolate Gianduja for regular strength chocolate and Meiji 72 for bitter chocolate #Beer. I hate cheap beer and Hopposhu is a blasphemy, nasty stuff. Asahi Primetime as the label says...for the best moments in life let yourself go....Amen #Cell phones (Not service provider but maker) Sharp. The best handsets in Japan. #Kaitenzushi (100yen) Kappazushi #fruit juice POM #Snack Bonchi #Supermarket. Sundi. Cheap cheap cheap, they make you pay for plastic bags which is brilliant, makes everyone take their own. #convenience store Seven Eleven. #Website (in nihongo) kakaku.com # Train comapany Any one but JR. Kintetsu serve me very well. # Fast Food Yoshinoya # Cinemas Toho #sports drink VAAM #TV show Sasuke a.k.a 'Ninja warrior' in the USA. #Appliance Store Not that use them much now with internet shopping but locally Joshin if I go into the city its also nice to go for a drool in Yodobashi Camera so what stuff do you like?

sunrise 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Your list - (minus the women ) - is probably pretty good for starters... I'd add lotuses to that as well. It's too late in the eve for me to think of much else for now.. Link to post Share on other sites

Kraut_in_HongKong 0 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Restaurants Without naming one in particular. Most of the meals I had in Japan were excellent. Small pension places in Nozawa and Hakuba were offering high class cuisine with excellent quality. The low price "Italian Tomato" chain restaurant in Akihabara had superb al dente spaghettis. Watami is a cool beer place with good snacks too. I am looking forward for more eats. sunrise I like Lotus too, but isn't that Britsh? Link to post Share on other sites

Colin Chapman was not Welsh, Irish or Scots. He was English. You're correct of course sunrise because English is a subset of being British, so Colin Chapman was both English and British. I became expert at drawing maps of the UK whilst in Japan to explain where I'm from because most locals weren't aware that England is not the same thing as the United Kingdom. threep, a non-English Brit.
