Since this was my first (and unless something goes horribly wrong, last) trip to Niihama, it was thought that we should go to the Asahi Brewery once. But it was full when we tried to make reservations, so we went to this place (whose name I've forgotten) instead. Sort of a modern-classical Japanese restaurant. Best part: you get to sit in chairs! Here's a bamboo decanter of sake, plus a bunch of littlee appetizer things. Most of which were delicious.
