I had no idea there were that many varieties. Now for the important question - how many are available in vending machines?

Last time I was over, you could still get beer in vendos. Had to go to an actual store for sake. I thought I was just not finding them.

I haven't seen the beer vending machines around here for quite some time...I think the law was changed.

Another "very" warm day today, 20+ right now! Lots of blooms. The weekend will also see high temps, wind and rain.

We've lost to the weather. The hanami has been postponed by a week, so I'll miss it.

If any of you see a short gaijin wandering around Tokyo tomorrow with a sign taped to his back saying something along the lines of "私はうう男です", please come and say "hello" (and don't make fun of me!)...

Interesting, perhaps it's a regional law?

Indeed. They also have this warning sticker on them saying that nobody under the age of 20 is permitted to consume alcohol. :P But then we know how the police here in Japan are about that, underage drinking.
