Frozen Draft Beer Invades the U.S. - At Epcot's Japan Pavilion

It's a hit across the ocean in Tokyo, Japan , and now it's hit the mainland U.S. We're talking, of course, about frozen draft beer; guests heading out to the Japan Pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase can now sample one of these frosty beverages.

As you can see in the picture, the beer looks like it's topped with a whipped topping of some sort, or even ice cream. Rest assured, it's truly a cold beer, Kirin brand, topped by frozen beer. The frozen topping helps the beer retain its refreshing coldness quite a bit longer than its regular counterparts.

Epcot's Japan Pavilion Has New Ice Pop Stand

An ice pop can be just what the doctor ordered when taking in Disney on a hot day, and guests circling the World Showcase can find one at a new stand in the Japan pavilion.

The tasty treats will set you back (drumroll, please) only a buck. Yep, you read that right: you can have an icy treat at Epcot for $1.00. These ice pops come in melon, lemon, orange, grape and strawberry.

Reports out of Epcot say the ice pops have a good flavor, a sturdy plastic wrapper and are easily broken in two for sharing.

Epcot's Mitsukoshi Department Store Sake Counter

Tucked away in the very back of the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Epcot's Japan Pavilion is a subtle little bar that's set up for sake tasting. Sake is an alcoholic beverage that's made with fermented rice, and often referred to as "rice wine" even though the process of it's creation is much closer to that of a beer. Sake frequently has an alcohol content between 28%-20%, so it packs a little more punch than your typical beer or wine.

Matsuriza: Taiko Drums at Epcot's Japan Pavilion

In the Japanese language "Taiko" means "great drum." For fans and guests of the Japan Pavilion at Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park, "Taiko" means you are in for a really great show.
