I tried a beverage that I hadn't had the pleasure of trying before - Shandyguff (シャンディーガフ). Luckily it tastes better than it sounds. It is ginger beer (with real beer). I have also made sure that I am using the correct vocab in the izikaya. When we arrived I thought we needed to order 1 beer (ichi biru) but that gets you a single bottle of beer (and happens to be grammatically incorrect too... whoops). The correct phrase that we have been using has been Draft beer, 1 (nama biru, hitotsu) but I had noticed that I seemed to be a little short-changed on volume (less than a pint) and last night I learnt that I needed to order dai jokki (large beer glass) which gets you just under a litre.
We started talking about new years resolutions and mine will probably be something like "I resolve to continue drinking lots of beer". I really hope I can stick to this one. Beer is much better for you than tea as this article shows-
Evils of tea
Please send me your new years resolutions. Bung them in the comments section if you don't mind others reading them.
