Miyuki and I went to the Moku Moku organic all-u-can-eat buffet for lunch. It cost 1800 yen each for about an hour and a half. Not bad. It was really really good food.
I wanted to drink Moku Moku's beer. They had two of them on tap and all six in bottles. They are not included in the price. If I wanted their oh-so-precious beer to grace my lips I was gonna have to pay 525 yen a bottle or 640 yen for 400 ml draft. Not only that, but this is a limited offer. I can only pay for and imbibe their beer during the allotted 90 minutes I have at the buffet. What bullshit!
Think about that. Though they have all their beer in bottles, you cannot purchase it to take away from the restaurant. You have to drink it during the very limited time you have to eat their food. They do not sell beer in their gift shop (where they sell everything else made at their farm) and, as staff informed us, there is nowhere in Nagoya to buy their beer. WTF is wrong with Moku Moku?
Maybe, in the future, Miyuki and I will visit their farm in Mie and finally drink some of their beer. For now, however, Moku Moku needs to pull its head out of its ass and realize how much more beer they could be selling. Stupid.

Maybe u should have used the opportunity to try their ber and tell usif it was worth it or not?
I've tried it and I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Yes, in a curious ay.
No, in a serious beer gourmet way, although Tim E loves this beer, I thought it was average at best.
Ok beer and good organice buffet but you can find better organci buffets for a cheaper price. the beer should have eben a sen yen inclusive.
I'll try their beer in a few weeks when I go to their farm. I can tell you right now that their beer is not worth paying for after you've already paid for all-u-can-eat.
Oh man! Moku Moku is on my list of things to do as well. I heard the water is really fresh out there in Mie Ken, so the beer is also good. Sure, everyone has different tastes, but I'll support anything local! I saw a photo of one of the Japanese brewers, and in true brewing fashion, he had this massive beard. Must be something in the mix!
Maybe it isn't a 'beer in a gourmet way', but it obviously puts hairs on your chest.
Had the buffet. Had the beer.
The buffet isn't bad but I've had better organic buffets for a similar price. Unfortunately, those places don't make their own beer. Had the beers. Drank 3 of the buggers. The seasonal I thought was nasty. The pilsner wasn't too bad. Served really, really cold. I didn't think anything there was that special, not worth perhaps the silly system of downing them all on the premises. It is a bit ridiculous that you can't take the bottles away or buy them in the shop. Maybe they don't have a licence to sell aclohol to take away? This is not the first Japanese company to not make sense. I just hope that when you guys hit the farm, the beer flows more freely and is a damn sight cheaper. At least it's better than Mein Schloss.
