Asparagus action

It’s been a busy month both in and out of the garden. The cabbage went to soup; eight mini ones (those that didn’t swell) with some of the beetroot. My wife made lots of kimchi with the hakusai. I’ve been trying to manage the consumption of the latter around teaching. On Tuesday I espied the first asparagus thrusting through the earth. Once I’ve finished in the current undertaking in the garden I’ll post a photo. In the meantime, anyone interested in Japanese rock gardens may want to check this article I got sent.

In every spirit & every season everywhere

Brewer Kirin

Style Other

A bland bottle of pale lager. Made from 100% malt, it has little aroma despite the 100% aroma hops - rather surprising in Japan.

YONA YONA means EVERY NIGHT! YONA YONA ALE is exactly the beer you can enjoy Every night! Why don’t you try it in NAGANO?

Brewer Yoho Brewing

Style European Pale Lager

The only reason I can’t enjoy it everynight is the price. Nice citrusy, grapefruit like. Surprised to find this in Lawson. Brewed in Karuizawa, Nagano.
