I spent 2 1/2 years in Okinawa Japan, and I drank a lot of Japanese beer. Drank a bunch of Orion. Developed my taste for Scotch whiskey 8:03 there also, as Japanese whiskey has a Scotch whisky taste.
I'm a big fan of Asahi Super Dry. It's my favorite beer here, and it's the most popular in Japan. I'm not sure if it's available in the States, or if it's the real stuff brewed by the Japanese company. If you ever come here, I hope you get a chance to try all the different stuff. Also, you'll love the 9% chu-hais. Lotta Marines and Sailors get in trouble because they underestimate that 9% lmao
@@Ducati121 I was stationed in Iwakuni for my first duty station and can confirm, Chu-hai will fuck you up. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until I was about a half dozen in because you can't really taste the alcohol... would not recommend hitting them that hard, because they hit back.
I don't drink too many light beers anymore, but back in the day, I used to drink kirin ichiban and tsingtao whenever we went out to an Asian restaurant. Both were good.
hahahaha kirin ichiban is actually a japanese beer, they cultivater their own yeast and procured their own ingredients. they then give everything to anheuser busch to bottle en masse and ship it everywhere in huge volumes
Imma gun shooting, fishing, trucking, whiskey loving born in VA Korean that lived in Japan for 5years. I hate to say this butI love Busch light the most. I might had a redder neck in my past life😂
It might have been mentioned already. The reason that Sapporo was made in Canada is because they bought out Sleeman Breweries. That gave them a foot in the door to sell in North America instead of having to ship it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it works both ways, so Sleeman isn't something available in Japan.
When I trained with the Japanese national defense force ( their army) the month of training began with everything Japanese culture. They brought Sapporo and saki to the big party. Coincidentally at the end of the month it was as all American so we had jack Daniel’s and Budweiser lamentably. It was a drunk fest though with only a week of training. The days before 9/11 were just fun and games Love your vids boss
For those of you looking for Orion, i suggest looking at your local international stores or Wegmans. Those are the only places I've found this delicious beer.
Asahi is good too, but basically in Japan the crisper and better carbonated the beer is the better quality its assumed to be. Makes for good beer burps, be sounding like Barney from the Simpsons by the end of the night.
Sapporo is primarily produced in Vietnam even though created in Sapporo Japan. So is it still Japanese? I dont know, but still drink it and the Sapporo Black too.
You should do a part 2 … asahi super dry, “hitachino white ale”this one is better then the ginger beer I promise you 🍺 , Kyoto white yuzu or any yuzu beer ..
@@j.r.esparza7343 true, and as far as i know Sapporo has what I believe is a proprietary coating for the inside? not 100% sure but i feel like i read it somewhere.
Japanese beer has a unique flavor because it contains rice in addition to malt and hops. Most Japanese people like Japanese beer best, but is it a little bitter for foreigners?
Looks like sashimi get some spider roll or the shrimp tempura. I will eat raw fish but only sockeye. Cali rolls are good as well. Just gotta find what you like. That sushi looked gross though.
I've wondered about Sapporo for a while. I see a Japanese dude I watch here on RU-vid drink it frequently on his camping channel. I have a feeling I wouldn't like it. Just like the food, it looks really good but would make me vomit if I tried to eat it.
