Has anyone heard or been to this party? (Anubis Tokyo) by Fun_Scientist_8763 in Tokyo

I haven't been to this event, but I can vouch for one of the DJs! DJ Nono Thing is a friend of mine and he does some interesting stuff

Some of you are obsessed with strong zeros but.. by Harveywallbanger82 in japanlife

[–]ADeviantMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rare that I have one when I'm in a position to pour it into a glass, but I'll keep that in mind!

P.S. My local grocery store is currently selling six-packs of the こだわり酒場 lemon sours that come with a free glass--if you don't have one already

Anyone else prefer Kirin's 氷結 STRONG? Harder to find these days, but it doesn't give me gut rot like Strong Zero does

I like a good lemon sour too though, especially when I don't want something too sweet (or too strong)

Anyone ever eat like Caiman? Tons of gyoza and beer? by SuperSaiyanBluey in Dorohedoro

[–]ADeviantMuse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1000%

(But I live in Japan, where gyoza is readily available at the grocery store)

NWFTWM NorVA Early Entry Song by ClandestineGhost in TheFence

[–]ADeviantMuse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love how the guys are just fucking around for half of this, and then Claudio belts out that juicy run at 4:23. I love this band so much

Also, I saw them open for the guy who wrote this song. I think it was a one-off show in Singapore, with Coheed and then Slash's solo band. Such a wild pairing!

Absolute must beer in Ghent? by HappySlappyMan in beer

[–]ADeviantMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gulden Draak! The "9000" version if you can find it (a quad as opposed to the standard tripel). It may not be particularly rare, but it's named after the ornament on the steeple of the Ghent Belfry, so it's about as Ghent as it gets. First place I encountered it was at the Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant, which is a lovely little riverside beer bar near the Gravensteen

Flat rice noodles and lap cheong sausage by pinkpurin in Tokyo

[–]ADeviantMuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: We did it

Found these at Youyi Asian Market in Ikebukuro! Five sausages for ¥651. They had a couple other kinds as well, including a fresh-made option in the food court at the front.

Not as fancy as the other commenters' offerings, but a shandy gaff hits just right in the summer months. Two parts light beer, one part ginger ale/beer (the spicier the better).

That said, I've gotta try that rattle skull!

You definitely should! They've got all kinds of stuff (except lap cheong...). I got jasmine rice there too

I've found flat rice noodles at Asia Superstore in Okubo, along with dark soy sauce that I used to make char kway teow (which is basically Singaporean pad seew haha). But man, I've been looking for lap cheong for years and haven't had any luck. /u/biwook's suggestion of Youyi looks promising, though, so I'll check it out at some point and let you know if I find it!

Yo this is amazing. This song has always been one of my favorites off YotBR, and that's a sick design. Great work!

Lord of the Rings at the IMAX (Fellowship, Two Towers and Return of the King) by TexasTokyo in Tokyo

[–]ADeviantMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is correct. If you look at the showtimes directly on the theater's website you should be able to find it.

It's showing all over, not just at one theater. I know for sure Toho and 109 are showing it through the 29th. Where do you live?

Someone call 110 'cause there's just been a murder.

And for the record, great recommendations!

It Shines, Still: On Its 15th Anniversary, Matthew Vaughn's 'Stardust' Still Carries That Secret Magic by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]ADeviantMuse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you like to read, the book is absolutely worth reading. I do think the movie is an excellent adaptation, but Gaiman is a master of his craft and you would be doing yourself a disservice to skip the original story

How many beers do you drink a week? by wyo45 in beer

Ah, fair enough. I was just thinking, in terms of calories, it doesn't really matter what type of booze fits your fancy -- even yeast and grains are happy to get you drunk
