No joke might be my favorite Abroad in Japan video within the last few years. Chris and Natsuki hanging out showing us drinking and karaoke? Reminds me of those videos from like 10 years ago when Natsuki was first coming on the channel. SIGN ME TF UP! Also 上を向いて歩こう is one of the first Japanese songs I ever heard that got me into learning the language, so that was just icing on the cake at the end

As luck would have it, this video came out while we were in Japan, and we managed to visit La France. An utterly wonderful bar, and the barman was not only extremely kind and an absolute gent, but fantastic at his job to boot. The fruit cocktails were to die for, and his selection of whiskeys was mindblowing. He was very complimentary about 'Chris-san' as well!

Time to burn through all those "watch this before coming to japan" videos. Enjoy your trip, I hope to one day visit the country as well. Also, I know this is none of my business but some studies say that a week(8 days to be specific) is the perfect length for someone to travel. Look that up and see if that might interest you. I personally wanted to extend my visit to Turkey, because I wouldn't need to rush all the activities I had planned.

Shortly before the pandemic, I booked a week off a contract job for a trip to japan. But the person I was replacing returned to work early, So I extended my stay for a month. Still wasn't enough time. There's SO much to do even on a budget!. I just kept discovering more things when I was there! Enjoy your trip! Before the pandemic happened I wanted my next trip to be somewhere new. But now, I wanna revisit all my favourite places first. Up next for me is back to Japan! Last time I was there I spent most of my time in Tokyo, and a short visit to osaka and surrounding cities to see some friends there. Next time I'm doing the other way around. Mainly Osaka and a short trip to Tokyo and surrounding area to visit friends.

I'm an American that was lucky enough to spend two months in Tokyo for work. Almost every night I ventured out and went from bar to bar up until I knew the trains would stop so I could get back to my hotel. That was over 17 years ago and I still think about it to this day. Some of the best bars could only serve 5-6 people at a time due to capacity. Some just had standing tables with no chairs and served things like chicken neck on skewers (I still remember the man trying to explain to me it was chicken neck). Some were extremely fancy. Some had girls there that would sit and talk to you if you bought them expensive drinks (I learned how to avoid those). Everywhere I went in Tokyo I always felt safe and always felt welcome. I will never forget it.

Just to clarify, The drink Sochu (in the tap) is a Japanese spirit more akin to vodka ( both made out of potatoes). Chris refers to it as Sake, as in Japan, Sake actually means any spirit type drink, not Sake the world knows as rice wine. Whereas Nihonshu is the proper name what is rice wine.😊

@@jgr1706 Most of the the famous SHOCHU in Japan are made from IMO (Sweet potatoes) and OH-MUGI (Barley), and KOKUTOU (Brown sugar).

It's probably one of the strongest alcohol that is made in Japan.
@jgr17063 ай бұрын
@@yo2trader539 That was my point, Shochu is made from pretty much anything, it's the saccharification with the help of koji mold and then distilled that makes it Shochu not the actual main ingredient. Awamori is from rice but distilled not brewed like Nihonshu.
