As local beers are few and far between, I promised to check them out.  I happened to know that a store underground in the Akashi station sells all six kinds, so last night on the way home from work I stopped in at Akashi station to do some shopping.  Ten minutes later I was back on a train headed home with six Minoh beers.  Unfortunately, bottles don&#8217;t come in six packs (or even 12 or 24 packs, for that matter) and so they roll around loose in a grocery store plastic bag.  Also, each bottle costs 400 yen, so that means six bottles works out to about 20 US dollars.  Ouch.  I haven&#8217;t tried them yet, but tonight after work we are planning on making okonomiyaki, and beer seems to perfect fit to the dish. <\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;ll be putzing around at home for most of the day, but I&#8217;ll go out to meet Komori sensei at the underground sushi restaurant in Akashi for dinner.  Sunday we&#8217;ll trek out to Costco mainly to buy wine.  I found that since I brought back all these really nice bottles from America I can&#8217;t bear to drink them so quickly, and that some house wine is in order.  Costco and the former Carrefour market both have lots of good everyday wines for good prices.  <\/p>\n<p>It should be a nice weekend &#8211; slow paced, like it should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During class yesterday one of my students recommended Minoh beer from Minoh brewery in Osaka.
