  • Hey, guys, how's it going?

  • My name is Michaela, and I'm blogging straight out of my own bedroom here in Fukuoka, Japan.

  • And let me tell you, I've had a hard day.

  • Oh, after a hard day's work, there is nothing more rewarding than drinking alone in your own apartment.

  • Luckily, living in Japan drinking has never been easier.

  • Unlike other countries, where you are expected to go to a liquor store and produced two pieces of I D.

  • Japanese alcohol can be purchased in convenience stores and in supermarkets, sometimes right next to the frozen goods.

  • Not only that, but the prices are insanely reasonable.

  • But what makes to pan unique, especially in comparison to my own country, Canada is the vast array of cocktails and chu Hi, So you might be thinking once a too high.

  • Chu Hai is an abbreviated form of chilled you high boat, which is obviously Chau Chiu highball.

  • So it's Japanese liquor mixed with carbonated water or carbonated beverages and then flavored so it isn't unusual to see to heist coming flavors such as you may or lime lemon orange grapefruit.

  • Compared to cocktails, they're quite sour, but they are pretty strong and It's very common to find Shuhei in Japanese is a chaos and bars, and then we have the cocktails.

  • Asahi makes a brand called cocktail partner, and it comes in two can designs.

  • I'm not sure what the difference is.

  • We've got melon and vanilla.

  • You take the popular Japanese melon soda and make it alcoholic.

  • There is nothing more delicious than this, I swear to God.

  • This is also a very popular cocktail that you'll find in Japan.

  • It is called Cassis orange, and Cassis is kind of like a black current BlackBerry.

  • I don't know.

  • He sells a wide variety of cocktails at a very decent price.

  • But Son, 20 is not to be outdone.

  • We have Daichi and away.

  • This one's actually really good.

  • I love it because it's so Asian was raised thinking away was something you put on your skin when you have a bad sunburn.

  • But in Japan, you drink it grand.

  • No passion fruits.

  • So, like passion fruit garden sounds really summer full and summer full isn't even a word.

  • This one's actually quite low.

  • It's only 3% alcohol with 77 calories, so you can drink and not get drunk and not get fat.

  • But son Tony isn't the only company to have low calorie cocktails.

  • Assad.

  • He jumps in that market with very line of cocktails, aptly named slut.

  • It's flavored.
