thursday 1 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 no, no, no, I stop at the vending machine to drink beer. Link to post Share on other sites
HoTRoD 2 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 That was mighty good research. Link to post Share on other sites
Sciclone 2 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Compared to prices at Perisher, the prices at Furano last year may have been in a third world country... Also, with all the vending machines around, it keeps the prices of beer and soft drinks down... I'll see how we go at SK this year. Link to post Share on other sites

foreversnow 5 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 When we were in NZ a couple of years ago we got 2 gatorades and 2 buckets of chips and it came to $18. I nearly passed out. I realise this year is going to be more expense but I still think it is cheaper to eat on the hill than anywhere else I have been. I have worked out that if I get a large beer from the vending machine by the time I have drunk 1/2 I will be off my face and pass out and presto there is a huge saving on dinner. Oh yeah and I will 1/2 for the next night. Link to post Share on other sites
gareth_oau 2 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I purchased 5 takeaway pizzas at Thredbo last year and it cost me over $80 ( i have to admit they tasted a lot better than a dominos tho!!) Link to post Share on other sites
ssar 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Re: Food / Restaurants to try in Niseko: I have heard the following is worth checking out whilst there, perhaps: “Bowl of Soba / Udon / Ramen noodles, and Kani or Crab Ramen at Hanozono are good value†Niseko Restaurants/Bars to try: - Rin - Ice Bar in Hirafu Village near Full Note Pension & Seicomart - Abucha 1st Japanese Izakaya & Bar - Zhivagos - Senchou - Good seafood, quite traditional - Yummy's Pizza - Yuki Bar - Little Noodle House near the bottom of the main street - King Bell Hut BBQ Kutchan: - Nihonbashi in Kutchan - Authentic Japanese --- Thoughts?

Tommmm 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Zhivagos is expensive from memory. I liked JoJo's and SplashBar although not your authentic Japanese. Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Never heard of gatorades. Don't you need some sort of ID in some (?) beer vending machines now? Wondering for visitors what you'd use there. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Don't forget - you can maximise cost efficiency by buying a larger quantity of beer at a cheaper cost ie look at maiko a 4l pitcher for 4000 yen, compared to 600yen per large 500ml can. Save 800 yen Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 nagoid, don't know about the beer vending machines. in my town no id is required. but for smokes you need a taspo card to buy from vending machines... if you don't have a card it's always possible to buy in 7-11 with no id!

best skier in hakuba 5 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What card would you need for the beer nagoid? Can't say I've seen one of them - having said that haven't used a beer vending maching for quite a while. Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 People should really be mentioning the cost of cheese as well in here.... Link to post Share on other sites
Nisoko 6 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 The bottom line, unfortunately cheeseman, is - cheese = expensive. I find that Furano one to be fairly bland myself. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 not expensive. The Camembert was 500Y. It was really good. The Furano was 700 I think, but I bought a lot of cheesecake with that order so dunno the price really. Link to post Share on other sites
Error404 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Prices are for weaklings. Would like to try some of that lot. Link to post Share on other sites
