¥2 beer? Man, if it's still that cheap I'm going to buy an entire factory. .-= RyoBase´s last blog ..How well do you know Brüno. =-.

Great post Ken, beer tasting is fun. I am a cheap drunk so I probably will be done for after the tasting set. Love the photos from the ultra wide angle lens. I am so itchy..... .-= Kam´s last blog ..Gundam Books =-.

Thanks man. But you’re pretty good yourself too. ^^.

Although I use Aperture to manage my photo library, I don’t really do any post processing except for the occasional boost in saturation or change in exposure levels. When out taking shots, I usually look at the histogram after every shot and play around with exposure settings until I get the shot I want. ^^. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I’m shooting with a D300. Don’t think of it as sadness. Think of it as anticipation for your next trip! ^^.

I agree with Darren, your photography is great. Do you do any image corrections with Photoshop or similar program? Can you share some tips?

Great pics! I also visited the Yebisu Beer Museum a couple trips to Japan ago, and had basically the exact same experience. It looks like they have miniaturized the glasses they use for the tasting set these days, though – they had full size glasses when I went, which made the set by far the best deal there (and a really cheap way to get drunk). One other thing about the beer there – it is all fresh, brewed that same day and trucked over from another, still-functional brewery in Tokyo that morning. I thought it was some of the best beer I’d had.

i love your posts. i really do. they bring me back to such great memories of japan. of course, i get sad after, being that i miss japan immensely, but its worth the sadness. what camera are you shooting with? your images are always so nicely balanced with color and light. well done.
