Beer commercials are usually quite good all around the world. I think Sapporo makes the best beer commercials in Japan. My favorite is the first one: Other posts about beer: Sapporo beer Chocolate beer Yebisu Garden Place Beer produced in space Asahi beer girls
Suntory is selling Final Fantasy XIII potions. This time instead of calling them “potions” like they did with the drinks released along Final Fantasy XII, they have called them “elixirs”.

What makes the beer special is that the original barley seeds were stored for five months in the International Space Station. It is the first [...]
This is the cheapest drink being sold on a vending machine that I’ve ever seen in Tokyo. On of the drinks in the picture costs only 50 yen! Sometimes, in Japan it is cheaper to buy a drink in a vending machine than in a supermarket, I guess it is because here there are much [...]
