This week is also a week of Halloween parties. As we come closer to the big day this Saturday, there are 3 parties at my school that I have to dress up for and help execute. Between field trips, zombie-like medicated stumbling and Halloween parties, there will be no You Tube videos this week.
I came across this picture this evening and wanted share it. During the summer, I visited the small town of Izushi, located in Northern Hyogo Prefecture. the town is known within japan for it's amazing soba noodles and beautiful scenery. While there I picked up this craft beer. This blueberry beer is made by the Izushi Shiroyama Beer Company.
I saved this beer in my fridge for a few months and had it in September. It was quite good. It had a very full and solid taste with a hint of fruity sweetness. In this picture you can see the one blueberry that was inside the bottle. I think I would have preferred it if there was a stronger berry flavour. This is a nice summer beer. Years ago, when I was living in Moncton, New Brunswick, I was a regular patron of the Pump House Brewery. They had a great blueberry ale there. I suppose to this day, i always compare any blueberry to that one and most normally come nowhere close.

I am not really a beer fan. When, and if I do have one, it's the dark kind like Newcastle Brown Ale or Guinness. I do love Japanese sake...the wonderful varieties of cold ones, though some of them certainly carry quite a price tag.
Hope you soon feel better from your medication. Sometimes it takes a little while to adjust. When I was placed on a beta blocker for hypertension, I finally insisted on another type of medication. After two months of feeling like I had anvils on my shoulders and dragging through each day, with no improvement, I just couldn't tolerate it any more!
Hi Steve! I stumbled on to your blog when I was searching for things to do in Kobe (esp on a Halloween night). I am an Indian in Kobe, but I am not living here long enough to write a blog :( [though I DO have food for thought]. I think your blog is kool and keeps me entertained when I want to take break from my grad studies here in Kobe.
Sadly I stay mostly indoors due to the inundated workload we got here, but still enjoi whatever comes my way. I also love your travel show. Hey, I think you might have already noticed that Japan has the wildest variety of drinks available (be it hard or soft). Do you wanna do a review about it ?
XOXO
