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.

Wah the name itself sounds intriguing! I hope that I will be able to visit there one day

reply

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

reply

Oh do you like Otokoyama sake? That’s my favourite

reply

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.

reply

Did you pick the big bath option?

reply

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

reply

Have you ever done a capsule hotel?

reply

Of course! I loved it.

Did that to save on travelling costs. Cheap and memorable experience

reply

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

reply

Are they wines or ?

reply

Shochu to be exact!

It is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar

reply

Good stuff?

reply

They look like saki, rice wines.

reply

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.

reply

See, alcohol unleashes the inner child in all of us

reply

Do you live in Japan, or just visiting?

reply

Buffet as in all you can eat/drink?

Alcoholic beverages are often extra in Korean buffets.

reply

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

reply

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.
