Random Japan #48 :: Sake Hair
Hello and welcome to issue 48 of Steemit’s favorite random look at the land of the rising sun: Random Japan.
Today, fun on the train.
Let’s get started. It’s time to enter…
Random Japan
The evening train is often less busy than you might think. These are double seats, but there is an unspoken rule in Japan that if you claim the window seat, no one will sit in the aisle seat unless they absolutely have to, which almost never happens in the evening. Often on the evening train, the businessmen will crack open a beer and fully relax, a custom I can completely agree with. There is no beer like train beer.
So it seems that this saké will instantly give you a samurai haircut. File this one under: Japanese advertisements are strange.
Taking photo job notes and enjoying some coffee. Canned coffee may not be so common in the States, but it is very common here, and not as bad as you might fear.
And that’s all, folks. Any favorites? Let me know in the comments. Thank you for reading and be sure to tune in tomorrow for more for another Random Japan. See you then!

The sake advertisements are quite hilarious!
Glad you enjoyed them. I thought everyone would get a chuckle out of them.
I like the older guy in the saké advertisement with the only big one.
He doesn't mess around. The look on his face too, like "yup, this is all mine."
haha he does have a great expression.
That green hue on the first photo. Reminded me of The Matrix. I'm not drinking sake after this ad lol.
The matrix has us.
haha you mean you don't want to have that stylish samurai haircut? (But I've tried that sake; you aren't missing much by skipping it)
Yes. Love samurai minus the funky hair cuts XD
I'm going to be an Italian-American expat lost in Asia soon :)
Just found this series, it's great! Following for more :)
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy following along the rest of the series. I try to post everyday when I can.
Where in Asia are you going to be lost in?
