hey guys how's it goin 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
uh 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
produce two pieces of ID 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 Japan
unique especially in comparison to my
own country in Canada is the vast array
of cocktails and Chiu high so you might
be thinking what's a Chiu hi-chew high
is an abbreviated form of choo choo high
boat it which is obviously a shoujo
highball
so it's Japanese liquor mixed with
carbonated water or carbonated beverages
and then flavored so it isn't unusual to
see choo highs 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 Chu high in Japanese
izakaya sand 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
blackcurrant blackberry I don't know we
don't have cassis in Canada so I don't
really know how to explain it but this
is really good especially if you can get
it like non-carbonated like when you're
at a bar if you ask for Kashi so 10 G
chances are they have it try it it's
amazing this is violet fizz which is
lemon and violet liqueur Asahi sells a
wide variety of cocktails at a very
decent price but Suntory is not to be
outdone
we have lychee
ah away this one's actually really good
I love it because it's so Asian I was
raised thinking alloy a was something
you put on your skin when you have a bad
sunburn but in Japan you drink it
aqua no passion fruits so like passion
fruit garden which sounds really summer
full and summer full isn't even a word
this one's actually quite low it's only
three percent alcohol is seventy seven
calories so you can drink and not get
drunk and not get fat but Sun Tony isn't
the only company to have low calorie
cocktails Asahi jumps in that market
with their line of cocktails aptly named
[ __ ] now I'm sure I know what you're
thinking and actually I've made a video
about it already it's not uncommon to
see kalpas flavored cocktails as well if
there is a Chinatown near you chances
are you've tried kalpas before it's kind
of like a milky beverage so this one's
like a milky kalpas flavoured what lemon
lemon drink you know that's all the
alcohol I have for tonight as for me
tonight I think I'm gonna drink the
melon one because I do whatever on and
you're not the boss of me this is huge
what have I done the drinks that are
usually sold tend to change based on the
season but if you have a favorite
cocktail or one that you have tried that
I didn't introduce in the video please
let me know in the comments so not
charge mine at check-in channel also I
started a second channel and you don't
have to subscribe if you don't want to
but um I'm gonna post a bunch of random
stuff on there like just stuff that
isn't like quality but I still want to
share it if you're interested you can
check out my second channel and
subscribe there and that's it I'm gonna
make another video and only
it is so loud I'm competing with the
motorcycles this is my life this is what
I have to deal with all the time all the
motorcycles making noises by my house
[Music]
it's not uncommon to see [ __ ] oh I
should have finished talking before I
started drinking
