I’m told that Japanese beer taste good, but, I haven’t tried one.Not exactly high brow tipple but hey it came with the room.
You mean they won't be ever on the shelf next to the clean skins?
Nice room! Where is that at?Not exactly high brow tipple but hey it came with the room.
When comparing like for like, I find Japanese (and Korean) lagers tend to be very crisp, light and very little bitterness. That said, the Japanese craft brew scene is very lively and I've had some very good IPAs and wheat ales.
This was the Ryotei Hanayura ryokan in Noboribetsu, a hot spring town in Hokkaido. The water you see is grey from the sediment in their hot springs. And it was very hot.
yeah, gotta love cleanskins, some real surprises in there
You're not wrong. I bought a couple of bottles to cook with once and ended up drinking them. They were too good for my lamb shanks in red wine.
Might go to the bottle shop and grab a few cans of Japanese beer to try'em out, besides, I pretty much prefer Irish and German beer
I'm the same, there is nothing like a good German beer but the Japanese don't make a bad drop either. You might be surprised at how good it is.
I'm down for a good beer no matter the origin. Except american beer. Avoid that dishwater swill at all costs.
I totally agree, there is no such thing as a decent American beer.
American are the worst beers I’ve tried from time to time, funny how Americans don’t really understand about real beer, when they make good American Whiskey and not even as good as Scottish Whisky.
I hope the Japanese beer doesn’t taste like an American shitty dishwasher.
Not in the slightest
Before I start diving into Japanese beer, for starters is there any particular food as a meal that may blend well enough for Japanese beers.
I'm reminded of that old joke "what's the similarity between two people making love in a canoe and American beer?"
Honestly I'm not a beer connoiseur in the sense that I go to lengths to pair it with food. My rule of thumb is contrast. Light with heavy. Light beer with heavy/greasy food or fuller beers with delicate foods.
