AsiaPundit has been busy in Beijing and has not had time to update. Plus, the internet connection in the hotel is even less satisfactory than his dismal home connection in Shanghai. Still, the room does have some perks. For instance, AsiaPundit can get a package of herbal Viagra for 58 kwai!
AsiaPundit generally doesn’t trust Chinese herbal medicine, so he will not be purchasing the packet. He does, however, trust alcohol-based medicine. Hot toddies are a favorite for dealing with the common cold.
With that, as soon as he returns to Shanghai he will be checking into the only restaurant he has found that serves all-you-can-eat sashimi plus decent dark lager.
As well as the medicinal benefits of the tasty raw fish, the lager will provide AP with all the male hormones needed for a society of business.
Hams brewery is owned by Japan’s Ashai. AsiaPundit cannot verify whether the Engrish can be attributed to the Chinese or Japanese side.

IMHO the characters on the lable doesn’t look Japanese. The hanzhi look distinctively Mainland China.
