I spent much time in October in the Ebisu district of Tokyo, as I was a visiting fellow at the Air Staff College located there. As it turns out, that area and the train station were named after .... a beer company. And the beer company, Yebisu was named after the God of Commerce, Fishing and ... stuff. Anyhow, as an early Father's Day, I enjoyed the visit and got some merch. Oh, and some sampling, of course.

At the time the company started, a beer cost as much as 10 bowls of soba. So, not a popular drink |
