After the Ramen museum Todd and I hit Kirin City for some beers in Machida. Japan seems to have a love affair with Beer and a lot of foam, but Kirin City brings it to a whole other level. So much so I had to go home and learn how to ask for no foam with my beer. So the next time you are out and a little worried about too much foam be sure to say Awa Nashi De Onegaishimasu (あわなしでおねがいします).

Way too much foam

It got pretty dead after the table of Obaachan (Grannies) behind us left…
Not a very happening night in Machida.

Lonely at Kirin City

    I advise you’d better not say “あわなしでおねがいします”.
    When I was a freshman of some company, we went to Japanese style pub at Monzen-Nakacho in Tokyo after work.
    This one is the famous pub at Monzen-Nakacho in Tokyo and it exists there still now.
    We got Beer with Foam like your photo. One of our associates who got carried away yelled ” Hey! Get real, buddy! Too much foam, too low beer!”
    The old said “Eat me, bossy whipper-snapper! Beer is good, because of it’s foam. Beer without foam is not care a bit!”
    For your information, this pub (UOSAN 魚三)gives us nice fish foods. If we have a opportunity, let’s go there.
