muikabochi 208 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Ordered! Funny, local places don't seem to stock Kohaku much at all here. Even now, only rubbish 350 cans at one place and none in the others. So, I will have 2 cases of Akiaji and 2 cases of Kohaku to keep me going for quite some months! 贅沢ね Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Two years ago in this area it was gone after about a month. Last year it seemed to stick around for a really long time... Link to post Share on other sites

frannyo 2 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 That glass in fridge idea is a damn fine one. I always like the frosted glasses when I have them in restaurants... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 The scene: Open fridge. Akiaji or Kohaku. I went for Kohaku. it is lovely indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 From now on, my glasses will be in my freezer. Grand idea! From the UK, straight to okinawa for a quick break. Grabbed some lovely local brews from ishigaki island. (the trip itself was awesome! but that's for another thread) Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Had a nice ice cold tinny tonight, all that cycling is hard work a beer is a requirement after. Lol Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 When I was in JMart this evening I saw they had Boddingtons, and was going to buy some until I saw the price nearly 500 yen for a small tin, WTF. So didnt bother. Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If you have a Yamaya near you I think they have a tallboy for around the same price? Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 16 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Being a huge fan of Hefenweiss style beer (see posts about Burleigh Brewing Hef on "Pies and Beer reports - summer 2014) and also being a novice regarding Japanese beer (only really had Kirin, Asahi and Sapporo products which were certainly nice) I googled "Is there a Japanese Weiss bier" and came upon Hitachino Nest Weizen from Kiuchi brewery. So the questions are: Has anybody tried it? If so, what's the drum? Is it available in Hakuba? If so, where? Any other Japanese weissbiers that anyone knows about? Thanks in advance for replies and apologies if these questions have been answered elsewhere in this/other posts - if this is the case please direct me.

pie-eater 207 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Has anyone ever had a can of Japanese beer that has a gas widget thingie in it, like for example Boddingtons does? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The Kohaku is nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 16 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 WooHoo !! The power of Google; it's (Hitachino Nest Weizen) stocked by the Archive Beer Boutique in West End here in Brissie and I'm working a stone's throw from there tomorrow. R & D project about to begin - will report back !! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It's good to have Akiaji, Kohaku and normal Ebisu all in the fridge at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 MiJ has had a beer recently witha widget in it....he's also sampled the Hatachina beers so maybe has had the weizen. You can buy those beers in some convinis but mostly Jupiter and other international shops....no idea about hakuba Link to post Share on other sites
