The Drinker's Guide to Japan: An Essential Handbook to Japanese Drinks and Drinking Culture, (Hardcover)

<b>Japanese alcohol remains one of the world's great drinking enigmas - always alluring, sometimes intimidating and often misunderstood. </b><b><i>The Drinker's Guide to Japan</i></b><b> cuts through the hyperbole and mystique with a bold, pretension-free approach that's about real drinking and not theory: what to order, where to drink it, and how to do so with confidence, whether you're in a neon-lit alleyway in Osaka or browsing exotic bottles back home.</b> <p>Written by Tokyo-based restaurateur and Japanese alcohol expert <b>Wayne Shennen </b>and internationally bestselling author <b>Jesse Fink</b>, this book distils years of on-the-ground research and knowledge into clear, practical guidance. You won't become an expert, but you <i>will</i> drink better - freed from guesswork, clumsy translations and the lingering sense that Japanese alcohol is just too complicated to even try. </p><p>Lavishly illustrated with stunning location photography from across the country, <i>The Drinker's Guide to Japan</i> is both a visual journey and an indispensable companion. Like travel itself, it will open new doors - transforming Japanese drinks and drinking culture from something inscrutable, privileged and confounding into something thrilling, accessible and deeply rewarding.</p>
