MugiWait, it’s running for 12 whole days!? If I went every day, wouldn’t it be so much fun it’d turn into commuting?
Hop BroThe project is called the Taru Meijin Challenge, and the idea is to drink beer and collect stamps. Since you move forward while drinking, you can basically both “cheer on” and “train” at the same time.
MugiTraining? What do you mean! Do you just have to fill up the stamp card? I feel like I’d get a little stronger every time it gets stamped.
Hop BroFirst, the initial reward comes at 6 drinks: an original sticker and one canned beer of your choice. The moment they give you a reward right away is a really smart way to build motivation.
MugiHehe, one canned beer of my choice sounds great! But the second I heard 12 drinks, my stomach called an emergency meeting.
Hop BroAt 12 drinks, you get one apparel item. At 18, it’s one apparel item plus three canned beers, and at 24, one apparel item plus six canned beers. And if you reach 24 drinks, you also get a sticker, three apparel items, and a total of 10 canned beers. The rewards are pretty luxurious.
MugiA total of 10 cans? The rewards are in total gridlock! That’s not stamp collecting anymore, that’s basically a party with a winning strategy, isn’t it?
Hop BroAnd since the valid period is 12 days, you can make progress all at once in one day or take it slowly over several days. It’s nice that you can join with family and friends, or just drop in by yourself.
MugiNice, it feels like the perfect beer-tasting weather! Hanging out casually at YMB in Yokohama while aiming for stickers and canned beer sounds like the kind of thing that makes you never want to go home!
