Beer Museum? Check

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.

Yebisu Garden Place: shopping
and some cool architecture

Yesibu Garden Place

The military regime did much damage including
banning named beer.

Happy Early Father's Day to Me

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

The symbol of the company: God of Beer
