JAPAN TRIP November 2011
-
The random umbrellas populating the streets of Kobe make me really want to go back to Japan.
The beer just seems to taste better there, too.

probably to do with the price. I don't think I've ever drunk a pint so slow in my life

This is definitely very far from the truth unless you like your beer near flavorless and super fizzy.

No kidding! Japanese beer is made to not overpower whatever you're eating but its not very drinkable on its own… Fortunately jibiru is starting to show up at conbinins lately.

Can't agree with that, I love Kirin and Asahi Black beer. Kirin (ichi ban at least) reminds me a lot of Corona, which is another favourite of mine.

Hitachino Nest brews quality beer. Not super fizzy or near flavorless. Much smaller production than the major Japanese brewers, but that's always the case with good beer. After all, if you judged American beer based on Budweiser, Coors and Miller Light, you'd probably consider it not worth drinking, either. But if you hunt down some Dogfish Head, Ommegang or Shiner, you'll have a very different perspective.

Waiting outside the restaurant for seats. Often a problem when there is a large group of you and there is a general inability to plan…....
And I chose this, it was a like a Lasagne but utilising noodles instead of pasta sand the ground beef was in the form of 3 meatballs. And it was delicious…

I suppose absence and perspective play a part too, I know plenty of friends from over seas who love Carling (UK beer), personally I wouldn't wash a dog in it.

Was that in Shibuya? The meat company that owns that chain also has a kobe beef burger joint – http://www.kuroge-wagyu.com/bc/
Edit: Doh my wife just told me they're not owned by the same company… Still worth checking out the burger place though.
