Syochu! kagoshima vodka! nice!
RoseAmano Says: Please try it ! Delisious! Some of these are sprirituous.

kiwigal_1 Says: If you plan on doing a lot of train travel when you are in Japan then I suggest that you decline from bringing large, heavy suitcases. Most train stations in Japan have huge staircases (often no lift) so lugging a big suitcase is not an easy task. I suggest a good backpack...
