Suntory Horoyoi chu-hi Peach


More fruity alcohol?! I will buy! I love peaches and this is like and alcoholic peach drink that is carbonated. Only 3% you can probably go through a lot of these. It taste great and Suntory did a great job. I wish I found out about these on my earlier trips rather then this last one because I would have had these all the time. It isn't a sin to walk the streets of Japan drinking alcohol either! Drink it like a soda with a kick, Yes you have to try these.

Wilkinson Gingerale Vodka


This was Ms. Noodles free drink at the Robot Restaurant and Show. It is a pre bottle ginger ale and vodka. Very low in alcohol content as you can not really taste the vodka but it makes the ginger ale have a kick. If I was in the mood for a ginger ale I would totally get this. 5% seems low for my local brewery here of beer which makes them between 5-10% (heavy stuff). I could probably keep drinking these before you really feel it.

Hoshi Plum Wine


Not to bad. Not a really syrupy but good. I don't like the really strong alcohol taste of some plum wines but this is pretty good.

Asahi Super Dry Beer

 Asahi Breweries is a larger brewing and soft drink company that is based in Tokyo, Japan. I mean larger brewery with 40% of the beer market! Holy Cow! It also helped out that they came out with their Super Dry beer which got the crazy for all those Japanese Dry Beers which I am not sure I can get into.

 The company started in Osaka in 1889 as Osaka Beer Company and something interesting is that in the first World War the Germany prisoners worked in the brewery.

 This Super Dry Draft Beer has a strong flavor to it. I couldn't really handle it as I am not crazy about beer so this was a change of pace if you have been drinking some light beers. It is the very first Dry beer and most popular in Japan since 1987. They use a special rare type of yeast to make their beer. It is very crisp and the flavor is definitely there to have.

Ms. Noodle found it was to strong and unfortunate this beer did go to waste for both of us....

This Japanese Plum Gekkeikan Wine is straight from Kyoto. Japan in the Fushimi area. From Gekkeikan Sake, these wine comes from the orchard in Wakayama. The plums are hand picked, where they are aged and fermented to get a smooth flavor. The Style is for a sweet apple and pear tartness. Paring says it is good for marinating especially with spicy dishes. Enjoy it chilled! info from gekkeikan-sake.com
