The God Of Beers

Sometimes people (and by people, I mean bloggers. And by bloggers, I…mean…me. Frick) put up lists of “Top Keyword Search Referrals” to their blogs for people to read, for joy and merriment. This is because bloggers are obsessed with themselves. Being a blogger is the new outlet for narcissism. I’m almost 100% confident that showing any blogger a picture of their own face taken at arms-length with the white balance all messed up causes the most potent and uncontrollable, sexually aroused Pavlovian reaction to stimuli that person has ever known.

Well anyway, Top Keyword Search Referrals? I’ve been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, paid the entrance fee, ridden the virtual reality simulator, had sex with the chick who was giving out samples, used the public toilet near it, watched some kid stupidly let go of his balloon and see everyone in the near vicinity look up at the balloon floating away and go “ahh” whilst waiting in line for it, bought a novelty pez dispenser in the shape of it, got bored of it, read about the declining amounts of visitors on an internet news website about it, downloaded some porn whilst reading about the declining amounts of visitors on an internet news website about it, sold the t-shirt I bought at it on eBay for 20 quid because I said I was a 17 year old girl and had rubbed it on my pristine, unfricked vagina AND made it into an extraordinarily long theme-park metaphor, so basically I’m the shit.

So instead of that, here is a sample of the BOTTOM of that list, for yongfook.com. The search keywords that referred the least amount of people - which usually means they were either too bizarre and unrelated, or too esoteric in that only one or two people in the world would ever actually search for such a combination of words. I present to you, the yongfook.com “I WANTED DEAD MIDGET NASCAR PORN AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY WEBSITE ON CHINKS OR SOMETHING” list. For August.

Nice to know that there are just as many people who are almost totally detached from reality as I hoped there would be, coming to this website. That’s the great thing about the internet - you don’t have anyone to answer to. I can sit in my room all day searching for self fellatio and cartoon poo and in my mind this can be completely normal and no search engines will ever say “I’m sorry, that search request was totally fricked up, please turn off the computer and smash your balls with something heavy. No wait, you’d like that wouldn’t you. SYNTAX ERROR SYNTAX ERROR”, which essentially encourages the nurturing of hundreds of new kinds of fetish with, I imagine, every passing hour.

These results are a frightening little window into a world of people who are probably walking around amongst us, cooking our hamburgers, investing our money and pumping our petrol with a glazed mask of appearing to belong to society only JUST hiding the fact that as they shake your hand or ask you if you’d “like fries with that”, they are also thinking “I must frick a 14yr old black gibbon covered in shit with my tiny, tiny penis” as they smile blankly into your naive, unassuming eyes.

Go intarw3b!

Anyway, heres a little review.

As I’ve said before, Japan’s seasons are pretty much controlled by the sale of limited-edition goods. Seasons are but the metaphorical whores to the pimps that are the very real and trend-setting products that the snack corporations churn out in a year-long cycle to keep everyone informed of when they think seasons start and end. You think it’s winter? Frick you, cherry blossom flavour chocolate is telling you it’s spring. Think it’s spring? Frick you, crisps flavoured with sea salt and sold in packages emblazoned with a beach ball are telling you it’s summer. A scorching, sweaty 34 degree C day with not a cloud in the sky? Yes that means it’s Autumn, according to the fact that AKIAJI beer (the “taste of Autumn”) is available again.

However, in this case jumping mother nature’s gun for fun and profit is more than welcome by me and many, many other men in Japan. Because Akiaji happens to be one of the best beers you can buy in Japan. And by best I mean strongest.

To be honest though, the illusion of autumn is lost on me here. I know I’m a cynical cunt at the best of times but whilst other goods at least TRY to pretend that they contain some kind of seasonal ingredient thus justifying their limited availability, all Akiaji has to offer in terms of Autumn-ness is an attractive falling leaf pattern on the can, to supplement the mysterious fact that Akiaji is the ONLY Japanese beer with a 6% alcohol level. In a way it all sort of makes sense, in the same way that if you stare at a magic eye picture for long enough your brain just makes something up so it can ESCAPE.

But lets look at it logically. If they sold beer at 6% alcohol all year round in Japan, everyone would be drunk all the fricking time. Regular beer here sashays around at about 4% to 5%; the jump to 6% doesn’t sound a lot, but it’s enough of a difference from regular beer to turn you into a simpering wreck of dribble and smiles very quickly, which makes for some fun-filled 30 degree C Autumn nights. So why Autumn? Why was Autumn chosen as the season to hold this torch for beer drinkers all over Japan? Sadly the answer to that is the same as the answer to so many questions in this country: Kumquats.

Why kumquats? Well friends, that’s simply a metaphor for the fact that the real answer is probably JUST as arbitrary and JUST as nonsensical, that you might as well save yourself the effort and say that the answer is kumquats. Why do Japanese people eat nattou? Kumquats. Why can’t I get barbecue sauce at McDonalds in Japan without having to buy Chicken McNuggets first? Kumquats. In movies, naked genitals=banned, gang-raped by slimy tentacles which then dismember you=not banned. Why? Kumquats. Why do ATMs shut down so early here? Why do they shut down AT ALL? Kumquats. What the frick is powering all the vending machines? Kumquats. What is in the hatch? Kumquats. Why are there polar bears on the island? Kumquats. What “k” is a citrus fruit classified in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, whose name means “golden orange”? Kumquats. Ah close, it was “Kumquat”.

Can I have a P please, Bob. etc.

Appearance: Comes in a beer can, decorated with an attractive falling autumn leaves pattern. Quite classy, although you look like a prick drinking it in summer, which is when it starts getting sold. 4/5

Taste and smell: Tastes like glorious, crisp, lovely beer. 5/5

Fear Factor: Hah! 0/5

Health Implications: Yadda yadda empty calories frick off Karen Carpenter. 3/5

Final Rating: 5/5 - There is nothing bad to say about Akiaji, apart from it’s utter pointlessness.

  5. Aww, what about the indian-type snack food? ;__; is the reason you didn’t review that one because of, oh say, kumquats?

  11. Had my first taste of Asahi last Saturday. I usually HATE beer because they mostly taste like bubbly fermented piss (I think) - but I absolutely LOVED Asahi. Bliss.

    Next time when you come visit me, bring a whole carton.

    Cheers.

  12. Yes, well, my dad wanted to tie the balloon string around my thumb so that I wouldn’t lose it, but I said no, I can hold it, like what does he know,I’m four, I’m a big girl, and then I somehow let go of it, thank you for bringing back that sad, painful memory… We’ve only just begun…to live…

    Petra / August 30th, 2005
  13. It’s impossible to look like a prick drinking Akiaji in summer because it is impossible to drink Akiaji in summer. You think Akiaji goes onto shelve in summer? You said so yourself, Cockle, when Akiaji hits the shelves summer is over, baby. The first time I saw Akiaji in the conbini was the last time I went scarfless during the day.

  15. Ah the joy of a yongfook food reveiw. Granted, I hate beer, but who cares? Yongfook likes it, and that why we’re really reading this.

  16. I thought that kumquats were only in season in the winter. Oh well. Kumquat.

    Daria / August 30th, 2005
  17. By the way, YF, I do apologize for the odd licking comment….But hey, if your into that…..I like scruffy looking guys.

    Evayasha / August 30th, 2005
  18. Anyone else have favorites on the list? “inglish sex”, “photos of my friend s slutty sister” and “my favourite old sweets” are mine.

    I love how some people type really personal things and expect the search engine to actually find something.

    Ami / August 30th, 2005
  19. According to the mess in my kitchen, I’ve had more than 40 cans of Akiaji already this year. Aren’t I great! I can smell my own liver!

  21. for those of you who don’t know japanese, I will translate Joanie’s post:

    I really like bidets. By the way, I love dugongs! Your eyebrows remind me of a dugong’s backside…(in case you haven’t looked in a mirror recently)

  22. I just searched for

    “what’s that new smell in my granny’s house? It didn’t used to smell like that when she lived in Wembley but now’s she’s moved to Felixstowe there’s a silicon-y smell in the bathroom. Maybe it’s been there since the home help started visiting, but I didn’t really notice the onset of the new ambience”

    and it brought me here.

    I guess all roads lead to Yongfook…

    andyheather.blogspot.com / August 30th, 2005
  23. Guig,

    I translated it differently…

    I like to hug bidets. BTW You had a good shit. There are ants in the cake (note: prolly seen in the shit)

  25. i know that disturbing refferer-fluff from my blog (it’s in german language, so there’s no use visiting it anyway): “How to crack cigarette vending machines”, “hair-transplants for eyebrows”, “mice pierced through the body”, “bodypainting, then fuck” are some of my favourite google-special-requests. well, it’s a mirror of your strange humour. You attract those people, because … you are one of them. truth … hurts? now melt, mr fook.

    “I’ll use whatever language I fucking choose.

    “BTW, your friends are annoying. I hope they have better looking eyebrows than you do.”

    and what did kumquats ever do to you, eh?

    tessa / September 1st, 2005
  33. I actually found a review of Nattou on this site called “Steve, Don’t Eat It” which is a pasty, Americanly-stupid version of yongfook…anyways.

    the Karen Carpenter comment made me laugh. Does this mean I’m going to hell. I’m going to go call a priest, I’m in need of some fondling. Yoit!

    Amaranth / September 2nd, 2005
  34. The search “aids ad sex with spider” is looking for this:

    I bet the person who typed “japanese food to go uk” was real happy with their results.

  35. Kumquats are EVIL! Seeing as how I”ve never once heard that word up until now. Anyways I”m watching the Roast of Pamela Anderson…She’s an evil deviate with huge kumquats… Well nice Input on the beer. :)

    David / September 2nd, 2005
  36. Nice blog you have here. Let’s fuck.

  40. Yongfook,

    Ever hear of a period? I mean come on just try it you might like using them. I mean your sentences are reticent of a terretian- like out of work university philosophy student who is trying to pick up a blonde ignoramus who thinks physical exercise is doing the hoaky poaky whilst singing the star spangled banner to a frog who wants to be a prince some day who is running for president of America after the Bush Administration.

    Crap you got me doing it too…hey its kinda fun……….

    divadancerlara / September 2nd, 2005
  41. I think, diva, you mean “full stop”. A period is something quite quite different.

    Ben / September 2nd, 2005
  42. i think you mean “reminiscent”

    and also “hokey pokey”

    ._.

    moo / September 3rd, 2005
  43. The old Yongfook’s back eh? Naturally, this calls for a celebration (i.e. arbitrary reason to get smashed). [insert your alcoholic beverage of choice] all around….. on Yongfook.

    Mealcentric / September 5th, 2005
  50. If I were from the UK, I too would believe that autumn were a long lost myth. Instead, I cling to my favorite season, despite the fact that global warming is making it a far too distant memory. In other words, capitalism ownZ you.

    The gross thing about nattou is the texture, not the flavor. If anything, it needs to be stinkier.

    6% beer is love. Stock up so you can be unseasonal all year long~!

    Jae / September 5th, 2005
  51. Well…What can you say to an British beer drinker who reveiws food as a past time? That you are wonderful…and that if it gets too lonely over there I like beer and incense.

    But to avoid being a YF fan girl I must say that SOME (not all) of your reviews were notable and that you sound continue to influence our Japanese meals.

    seriousxjokes / September 6th, 2005
  52. it was supposed to be *should.

    seriousxjokes / September 6th, 2005
  53. Some of those search queries were fucked up, but I can see how they found your website using some of them. You have talked about several of those topics. Or mentioned the words in some way.

    Beer is okay, but white wine is the best! Or chu hi’s. Or fuzzy navels.

  55. Judging from all your reviews, half (or more) of them want to fuck you. So I think you should have a “Get together” yongfook fans and readers fest so all of you guys can have a massive orgy with “The God of Beers” together. Sounds good?

  64. S’okay, we’ve all had fairly important presentations too. We’ve barely had time to check this comments section. We’ve been hard pushed to scrape together some brief moments to visit this place 15 times a day hoping you could give some meaning to my absurd existence. I mean ‘our’ absu… oh forget it.

    So yeah, no sweat. We’ll do lunch when we’re all free. Good luck.

    Which by anyone’s definition is one helluva party.

The empress of all winter snacks, Melty Kiss is a type of soft chocolate that has a wistfully romantic image and is probably something that single middle-aged women eat boxes and boxes of whilst tending to their 8 cats and watching Sex In The City.
