【No. 0313】Price of Beer

Oct 27, 2015 14:19
I heard beer is very expensive in Japan.

Roughly, a glass of beer (400 ml) costs 500-600 yen (4-5 dollars) in taverns.

What do you think about this compared to your country?

One of the reason why beer is expensive is height of taxes on alcohol (alcohol tax).

If you are fond of drink, take care when you comes to Japan.
ビールの値段

日本のビールの値段は高いと聞きました。

大体、居酒屋では一杯(400ml程度)で 500-600 円程します。

あなたの国と比べるとどうでしょうか?

日本でビールが高い理由の一つとして、お酒に対する税金(酒税)の高さが挙げられます。

ビール好きな人は、日本に来るとき注意して下さい。

    'expensive' で既に「すごく高い」という意味なので、'very'はつけなくても大丈夫です。あと、あなたは外国人に向かって話している日本人なので「I heard」は書かなくてもいいと思います。

Beer is cheap here. Very cheap. But I do not like it. I would rather drink kahlua.

Thank you for the comment!
It sounds nice. Actually, I also don't like beer very much.
Unfortunately, in Japanese drinking party, there is a custom to order beer at first.

The beer prices in Israel is more expensive.
日本のビールの値段はイスラエルより安いです。

I think that UK prices are also expensive. (if I remember correctly)
イギリスのビールの値段も高いと思います。

However expensive it may be, the beer is very tasty!
日本のビールの値段は高いかも、でもすごい美味しいです。

In America for example the beer is cheap, but it taste horrible! (I'm trying to be polite)
アメリカとか、ビールの値段は安いですけど、味が不味い!

I learned something new, and your Japanese is pretty good.
イスラエルやイギリスはビールが高いんですね。知りませんでした。私はシンガポールもビールが高いと聞きました。
また、チェコなど幾つかの国では、ビールよりもミネラルウォーターのほうが高いようですね。
