MOS Burger Japanese Meat Specials

Starting Oct. 2nd MOS Burger will begin selling "top quality" burgers featuring Japanese meat. There is a regular burger and cheeseburger, but the thick slice bacon burger is the main burger being advertised. From the patty photo, you can see both a cow's and a pig's head, meaning both pork and beef. You can also see in the other photograph how thick that bacon slice is. The thick bacon slide burger will sell for 420 yen. One more thing, the way it is written in Japanese makes it sound more like a chopped beef sandwich than a hamburger. とびきりハンバーグサンド、厚切りベーコン

Kamakura Beer Locosuka Beer

Kamakura Beer, a local craft brewery, makes variety called "Locosuka Beer" with an interesting label. First, as explanation, despite the translation on the bottle, the Japanese is clearly Yokosuka, the same as the city that hosts one of the largest US Navel bases in Japan. Not sure where the L in the name comes from. The monkey on the label is an image of a mythical white monkey that was said to live on the nearby Sarushima Island (Monkey Island 猿島). Sarushima Island was a Japanese navel installation until the end of WWII, but is now a nature preserve. 鎌倉ビール、横須賀ビール
