Trivia
Go to Nepali restaurants in Shin-Okubo, and you'll almost certainly see this beer bottle (or poster) on every table. With slightly higher ABV and firmer body than JP beers, it's loved as the optimal solution to counter the 'richness' of Nepali food.
Eating tips & etiquette
When the mouth is on fire from intensely spiced/mustard-oiled 'Choila' or 'Sukuti' (dried meat), washing it down with this punchy, bitter Nepal Ice perfectly resets the oil and heat, providing supreme refreshment.
