As I wrote this in my notebook, I was sitting in the Kirin Plaza in the heart of Shinsaibashi enjoying a very satisfying ale on the bottom floor.
Japan is a very lager orientated country and it’s very hard to find an ale that isn’t a Guinness and the Plaza has a few.
The Kirin Plaza is going to close soon and it’s a shame. They do a well priced all-you-can-drink 2 hour session where you can try a variety of beers. Even though you can’t taste the difference after the first 2 or 3.
I’m writing this all as the place will be shutting soon and it gave me some very fond nights. If you’re in Osaka, be sure to check out the place before it closes around October.
I can’t believe it. I have spent many hours outside, having a beer (or more) and people watching. I guess it was better to learn here than to get there and find out.
My favorite beer is Ebisu.
On a different note, below is a link to a site called Blog Action Day. It is about supporting environmental action through blogging on Oct. 15 if your interested.
