RobBright 35 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ordered some slabs of akiaji. But feels weird to be drinking it in August. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Does seem a bit odd. Who will get the most this year? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 First one last night, very nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Delivery of four cases just now; need a bigger fridge Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 First one last night, very nice. Did you go for bottles or cans? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Got two cases of bottles Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Got two cases of bottles Yeah, wish I had done that but for some reason I bought cans this year. Don't forget to take those bottles/crates back to the store, and get some money for the next batch of Akiaji. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I regretted the cans last year a bit, so all bottles this time. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I am intrigued by this Akiaji it is talked about so much! Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As nice as it is, with the talk up it gets here there's a chance you might walk away slightly disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As nice as it is, with the talk up it gets here there's a chance you might walk away slightly disappointed. Only if you didn't drink enough, surely. Link to post Share on other sites

HotMagma 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Definitely way over-rated. OK I'm off out now, quick pace to the right. Link to post Share on other sites
OBLONG 0 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm intrigued, going to get some today. Will report. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I got a case of bottles and a case of cans of Akiaji. I see Asahi are ripping off the design almost completely again. They must wait until Kirin announces their beer and then rush job their own design. Very easy to confuse them. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 someone just needs to send me some Why not just order some from the rakuten uk site? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 because the UK rakuten site doesn't exist perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The designs are incredibly similar, yes. More white space in both this year. Anyone try that Asahi one? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 because the UK rakuten site doesn't exist perhaps? Is that a guess or from experience? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 From looking for it, and finding it saying "coming soon" and redirecting to 'Rakuten Play.com' How soon is now? Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 OK so that is shipping from Japan. The UK rakuten site is still coming soon. Well, it still was 24 seconds ago. Link to post Share on other sites
