A Friday night in Koenji

Out on the town in Koenji with a good friend the other night, we stumbled upon a cozy kushi-age place called Kushiya Bar 串屋バー (info) with a shitamachi feeling and cheap but delicious fried food on skewers. (photos from someone's blog)

On the drinks menu, I found a few things I had never had before. One is the Denki Bran in the picture above, 30% alchohol a mix of brandy, gin, and herbs? served straight in shot glass and famous for its "electrifying" sensation as it goes down. Another was called キンミヤ梅割り a shochu mixed with a plum extract. Both tasted like industrial alchohol and must be an acquired taste.
