WTF does jump salty mean (in gaigingo or nihonjingo please)? What any
individuals  preferences are, are um....  purely individual. If
somebody finds something they like, then as far as I concerned I'm
happy for them, even if I happened to think it tasted like shit. That
goes for whether it is beer, or whisk(e)y, or anything else. I can't
eat much in the way of spicy food, so therefore I don't like it, but
that doesn't mean it is crap. I don't watch anime, so therefore I don't
like it, but that doesn't mean it is crap.

Ebisu is alright, almost anything is alright, depending on the
circumstances. Even lukewarm cans of Asahi super dry :-)
