With the hot summer months fast approaching, we recently discovered a very good alternative to beer. It's called Chuhai (チューハイ). We noticed it being sold at the ballpark a few weeks back, and we have also seen it being sold in cans at our local supermarket.
Chuhai is a fruit-flavored drink based on Shōchū, and tastes sort of like a wine cooler. It's like a shochu shpritzer. (Yes. That's right. Shpritzer.)
Although the beer in Japan is truly excellent -the most popular brands being Kirin and Asahi - and "nama beeru" (i.e., draft beer) was one of the first Japanese phrases that Mike learned, Chuhai is a nice, albeit "girly in that wine-cooler way," summer beverage.
Our brand of choice: Suntory.
