    In general, dried seafood/fish don’t go well with beer (lighter beers sometimes okay) or wine (even white in my opinion). Plain or less fatty fish also don’t go well, either. But cooking fish/seafood with lots of olive oil reduces that bad taste. There are published scientific results from a Japanese brewery investigating the bad aftertaste of fish and wine combination 😉

    Mosquitos in my backyard are aggressive 😐 Beer makes them even more aggressive 🤔

  3. An experienced beer shop staff recommended me to try this red ale. I also remembered that @alameth was tooting about red ales🤔
    Although I am not comfortable with the horror label design, the beer itself is not bad - I am comfortable bringing this beer to our friend’s house😄
    Malty and bready, but still very hoppy like IPA. Also, the beer head is very frothy and looks great. This seems to work as an introduction to red ale for someone like me 😊
    Goes well with dark chocolate 😋

  4. How to tell you're traveling in rural Japan? Instead of a Shinkansen flying over the countryside at 180MPH or an smooth interurban at 85MPH, you get a 50-year-old rail diesel car snorting and lumbering down the line at 50MPH... if the wind is blowing the right way.

    But JR West turned their aging KiHa 40 series DMU's from a minus to a plus with a livery (inside and out) of Shigeru Mizuki's yōkai. Boarding at Yonago's Platform 0 — which is also yōkai themed — adds to the general weirdness.

  6. I think this is why Buddhist monks lived so long. Only the hardiest specimens survived these stairs.

    In Koishikawa Kōrakuen Garden (小石川後楽園).

  7. #Walking the Okōchi Sansō #Garden, #Arashiyama, #Kyoto, #Japan. The place is absolutely beautiful, but considering its size, the length of the trail, and all the elevation changes, it felt more like a hike than a garden stroll. 😄

  12. I freecycled my drafting board today. 😢 Many long nights were spent over this board, drawing electrical schematics for angel-funded startups and creating large calligraphic posters. It's been under my bed for about 30 years; whatever skills I had were taken by time and a neck injury. I hope the student who claimed it is able to love it as much as I did.

  14. This year's batch of Pearsimon Jam. Two of the jars popped before I even pulled them out of the water; all five were popped in a few minutes. 🙂 The flavor isn't as good this year; it more resembles candy than jam. Perhaps because I used last year's frozen persimmons. But we got far fewer persimmons this year than last, so I was glad for the frozen ones.

  15. I realize it's a distilled spirit, but with “aka” (red) in its name, a dark red bottle, and a dark red label, I was really surprised when the pour looked like water.

    I have no idea how to describe the taste, other than I really liked it, more than other shochu that I've tried. This is easy to drink neat and a real pleasure.

  16. Surprise and delight! I saw Festbier on the label, and thought Oktoberfest or märzen. The color and huge persistent head smashed that assumption. This is a Helles, and an excellent one: Apples, bread, and a bit of toffee up front; baked bread, a touch of honey, touch of floral hops bitterness, good through to the finish, perfectly balanced. Light but complex. The hops are different from the typical German, but work well.

    From Wayfinder, one of America's best German-style breweries. High expectations met.
