Review
"There are many things to love about Japan, but its exceptional bars and drinking culture are among the things at the top of my list. Anyone with the same yen (heh) for Tokyo-and-beyond bars should check out "Drinking Japan: A Guide to Japan's Best Drinks and Drinking Establishments." Written by Chris Bunting after a year and a half of research (i.e., drinking his way across Japan) and published by Tuttle in April, the book combines a guide to Japanese spirits with reviews of the bars devoted to them." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;Los Angeles Timesandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;
Review
"andlt;iandgt;Drinking Japanandlt;/iandgt; is filled with a staggering amount of information that includes indexes, maps and language tips. No matter where you find yourself in Japan, there's a good chance that Bunting has sampled libations nearby, and has a few recommendations on the local poison or watering holes, and more probably both." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;Metropolisandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;
Review
"If you're unfamiliar with Japan, especially Tokyo (and that seems to be the target audience), andlt;iandgt;Drinking Japanandlt;/iandgt; is a great place to start. If you live here, you'll still find some new gems." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;japaneats.tvandlt;/bandgt;

Review
"andlt;iandgt;Drinking Japanandlt;/iandgt; is the first book of its kind, and as such, an invaluable tool for anyone visiting the country. A softcover guidebook similar to those published by Fodor or Frommer, it fits easily in a backpack or travel bag. Extremely detailed reviews of almost 125 bars in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Hiroshima and other outlying areas are accompanied by full color photographs. Each bar is noted for it's particular specialty including sake, shochu, awamori, beers, wines and single-malt whiskies. Along with all of this information are sections on Japanese drinking culture and maps and directions on how to get where you want to go for the evening." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;GoodSpiritsNews.comandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;

Review
"Kampai!" is the Japanese equivalent of "Cheers!" If you're travelling through Tokyo, with its vibrant array of sake, shochu, whisky and cocktail bars, this is one word you'll get to know well. I've been enjoying a new book about this very topic, andlt;iandgt;Drinking Japanandlt;/iandgt; by Chris Bunting, a Tokyo-based newspaper journalist; a portion of the book's proceeds are donated to Japan Earthquake Relief." and#8212;andlt;bandgt;andlt;iandgt;Reutersandlt;/iandgt;andlt;/bandgt;
