Oktoberfester Field Trip report, Tokyo

Barleyman reporting in from Tokyo. No Barley malt in sight. All beer appears to be made from Rice. Hops in minimal quantities.

Any suggestions?

Tried Sapporo Black label last night. Reminded me of Carling Black Label (Mabel, Hey Mabel, Get off of the table, the quarter was for the beer!)

Seriously, anyone know of any Japanese beer worth drinking that I can only get here in country? I like Kirin and Asahi, but both are pretty bland.

Asahi is good, but most beers there are served too cols, and taste better warm. Bland comes from too cold.
