Japan 2009: Joso to Moriya to Ueno

Monday, July 13th, 2009

After a long flight we land get home, unpack and relax. Jet lagged, I gab my camera and run around the block to photograph a small shrine: Kashima Shrine, Joso, Japan.

The following day we met with friends for a night walk in a Rikugien (六義園) park in Ueno and had a wonderful dinner in Komagome, Tokyo.

Hoppy (ホッピー) is a beer-flavored beer that the Kokuka Beverage Company began selling in 1948. Hoppy became popular as a beer alternative due to beer being to expensive for regular people at the time Hoppy was first produced. A popular way to enjoy Hoppy is to mix with Shochu (焼酎) a distilled beverage native to Japan which is most commonly distilled from barley, sweet potatoes, or rice.
