We have a liquor shop in our neighborhood called Kakuyasu (they actually have shops all over Tokyo).
Kakuyasu literally means low prices.
The other day, I picked up a bottle of wine and the cashier asked me if I drink beer.
I told her "yes".
Then she scanned a can of beer and put it into the bag with the wine.
She mentioned that the expiration date was nearing so they were giving these away.
I looked at the bottom of the can when I got home, the expiration date was nearly 4 weeks away...
Japan is way too sensitive about expiration dates, but we were thankful for this freebie.
Have a nice weekend!

great! I think giving away free alcohol would be illegal here.

oooh! talking about freebies, I better get my act together and post the beaucoup free stuff we've been getting from the super. how was the tempranillo?
Rowena, hope the weather gets better for you guys! The tempranillo also said "rioja" on the back of the bottle...it was smooth and delicious!
Take care.
