Previously overseen by JapanSoc, the Japan Blog Matsuri is now organized by Japanalicious, and we’re pleased to be the first host of the brand new carnival! This is the third time we’re hosting the matsuri: feel free to read past editions at How to Japan and Education in Japan.
We’ve recently divided this blog into several topical sections which are almost independent, with different contributors and types of content. One of the new sections is focused at Japanese cuisine and to celebrate the reinvigorating of this part of the blog we’ve decided to make this month’s matsuri about Japanese drinks (and drinking in Japan…)
Ideas
Whether an apéro in baking hot sun, or an ice-cold beer late in the evening, drinks are an inseparable part of summer. This is a much wider topic that is prima facie apparent: you can blog about Japanese tea or saké, review a cucumber or yoghurt Pepsi, teach us some Japanese bar games or drinking songs (飲んで、飲んで、飲んで, etc. ^_^), or even share your very own cocktail recipe inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun. The possibilities are endless!
