First, I would suggest saki. Failing that, I would skip the wine, and suggest a Japanese beer, such as Kirin Ichiban.

Excellent advice. I would skip sake for now, it's too easy to get a bottle you won't like. Kirin, Sapporo, Asahi, etc. are all great ideas.

Where would I go about buying Japanese beer, a liquor store or a beer distributor?

[/ QUOTE ]

I just get mine at the grocery store.

So you'd rather be drinking a glass of merlot or something at a BBQ than a cold beer?

[Boris]

When I'm eating, yes.

[miajag81]

I'd say you're definitely in the minority in that respect.

Maybe in san fran, or the village they do.

[Boris]

Chili dogs don't count as food.

anyways, we're not talking about the entire universe of food. We're talking about going out to a meal with friends. Of course you could be a nit and find one particular "food" that might taste better with beer. But it won't be anything you'd serve to dinner guests.

If you're going to insist that a randomly-chosen $20 bottle of wine will better accompany any meal than any bottle of beer, I think you're in a minority as well.

I think Japanese or Korean BBQ is actually a pretty good example of a meal that'd be best with beer.
