Yotsuba Otona no Camembert & Blue
Everything in the Hokkaido cheese line is good, and the blue cheese works as a drinking snack too.
Asahi Beery Kaoru Craft
Asahi’s low-alcohol drink Beery is a hit. It tastes close to beer but it’s only 0.5% alcohol. Feels like this is the trend these days.
Asahi Beery Low-Alcohol
The white Beery is fruitier, and I think that one is a bit better.
All kinds of booze
Back when I only drank whisky a shelf like this did nothing for me, but once I got deep into cocktails and gin and the rest, Japan turns out to be paradise..
Murakawa Smoked Cheese
In Korea you have to go to Costco to get this cheap, but in Japan even the supermarket by my place sells it.
Jucovia’s Delicious 6P Cheese for Cheese Lovers
It wasn’t bad, as I remember.
Korean booze too..
There is a lot more of it now. It might just be a passing boom, but I’ll take it.
Jules Whisky Collection, the whisky specialist in Ginza Six
They have really done a nice job with it. If you have the time, do drop in..
Today’s Negroni line-up
For a cocktail the Negroni is seriously strong.. it’s also dead simple to make and tastes great, so I’ve been drinking it a lot lately.. the problem being that I end up drinking too much of it.. Campari sells a bottled Negroni, by the way, though I haven’t bought one yet. It looks even easier than mixing it myself, but I’m already drinking plenty as it is..
Wasabeef Soramame
Wasabeef is popular enough that collab products come out regularly. It’s an okay snack with a drink.
Yaki Saba
This one is also so-so.. dried fish is good with a drink, sure, but the value for money is the issue.
Rolf Smoked Cheese
Cheese is good with a drink too. I really do seem to drink a lot..
