SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted October 22, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted October 22, 2011 Enjoyed a "mega-jokki" at Ninjin-tei last night in Yuzawa. Good value at just under 1000 yen for what is 2.5 times a normal chu-jokki. Always good to go back to Ninjin-tei, it was I think the first restaurant I went to when I came to this area, hasn't changed that much in nearly 20 years. Rubbish photo quality, but good beer and food. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Looks damn good - is it near the station? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted October 22, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted October 22, 2011 It is good, Man. It's right opposite the Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway station, so about 5 minutes walk from the main Echigo Yuzawa station. Would definitely recommend the hire-katsu teishiku as per photo. And the mega-jokki.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted October 22, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted October 22, 2011 I don't seem to get any discounts, so I presume not! Perhaps we should have a night out there in winter. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I don't seem to get any discounts, so I presume not! That's not very good is it?! I have only been once with muika, was good. I'm on for a meet up there. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Friend of mine gave me 6 small bottles of Newcastle Brown. Looks like it's on the "omiyage" list that people can buy and pretend they bought while they were overseas. No complaints though! Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Are any notable "winter brews" out now then? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Ebisu Kohaku is out now. I think Fuyu Monagatari will be out soon too. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Kohaku's not bad, a bit similar to Aki Aji, I thought. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Huh? Kohaku is much maltier then akiaji. Akiaji is much hoppier (is that a word?) than kohaku. Very easy to tell the difference between them and their tastes. Link to post Share on other sites
