I know many Stackers don’t drink, but I was thrilled at the wide array of alcoholic choices at a dinner buffet in Japan

Went to a place called Beer Buffett in South Korea, but that place looks like it takes the cake.

It looks like a large variety of saki from karai to maroyaka.
I like the warm karai types, myself.

I really don’t remember brand names.
We had a sakiyasan across the street and bought what they had on hand.
I liked the dry taste saki, so he recommended some really good saki for heating up.

Did you pick the big bath option?

Our room had an onsen that overlooked the surroundings. But I don’t think it qualifies as a big bath haha

Of course! I loved it.
Did that to save on travelling costs. Cheap and memorable experience

I liked the one in Tokyo.
It had a big bath that had a view from the top of the building.

Shochu to be exact!
It is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to mix a little of each in the same glass and drink it.
That's what I used to do as a kid at McDonald's, I'm pretty sure the same rules apply here.

Buffet as in all you can eat/drink?
Alcoholic beverages are often extra in Korean buffets.

Alcoholic beverages are typically charged a separate price in Japan too.
This was an all-you-can-drink because we were staying overnight at a ryokan and our package comprised the dinner buffet

That makes sense. Ryokan seem to have been big on the package deals, especially if you went in a largish group.
Although, I never heard of the all-you-can-drink packages.
I knew a lot of people that would have made them unprofitable.
