Nagoya Tangent: Get Great Beer and Liquor at the Nagoya Dome Mae Yada Aeon

For all of you Nagoyajins (people of Nagoya) and beer lovers, this is for you.  I am always looking for shops that sell craft beer or foreign beer.  Most places that tend to sell lesser known beers (no major brews) are shops that specialize in foreign food or department stores or small liquor stores.  However recently, I have found a great supermarket that sells great beer and liquor.

If you have ever been shopping at the Aeon shopping mall at Nagoya Dome Mae Yada in Kita-ku, you have probably missed one of best liquor selections in all of Nagoya.  The liquor selection that I am talking about is in the Jusco supermarket on the first floor.  Most people would dismiss the notion that supermarkets have extensive liquor departments.  They are totally mistaken with this place. The liquor selection at the Jusco supermarket is a cornucopia of great wine, beer, and liquor.

If you are beer drinker and you love great foreign beer, this is the place for you. In their beer section, you can find great uncommon foreign beer.  They have great American beer, and I am not talking about Budweiser (just joking) or Sam Adams.  This is the only store in Nagoya that I know that carries Stone Brewing Ruination IPA and Stone Brewing Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale.  Some of the beers they carry are the Bear Republic line of products, Kona Brewing beers from Hawaii, Anchor Steam beers, and, also, they have Brooklyn Lager.  Plus, they have a great selection of Asian and European beers.  They, also, carry an extensive line of spirits, liquor, wine, shochu, and nihonshu (sake to those live outside of Japan).  

So if you are looking for a great beer to relax to or something to impress your friends, you should definitely go the Jusco supermarket at the Nagoya Dome Mae Yada Aeon.  There is great beer in Nagoya, but you just have to look for it.

Please enjoy the short video and pictures that I took.
