Metropolis magazine's "Godzilla issue" is now out on the stands throughout Tokyo and other parts of Japan. Legendary Pictures/ Warner Bros. Godzilla is opening tomorrow in theaters in Japan. Godzilla's parent company, Toho Co., Ltd. is distributing.

Fortunately, you don't have to fly to Japan to see it. It is available on the official website of Metropolis in .pdf.

To save you time from digging around, here's the link to the .pdf.

Metropolis is a free magazine and is available throughout Tokyo, Japan. I have seen it at convenience stores, train & subway stations, restaurants and even at Narita International Airport.

Yabukaiou Sake Godzilla

Suppose you are a Godzilla fan and, also, have a taste for sake. How can you combine the two?

Tokyo's Metropolis magazine has just the answer for you!

According to an article in their website, there's a sake that is bottled (if that's the right word) in a Godzilla-shaped ceramic decanter. It's called Yabukaiou Sake Godzilla from Konishi Sake Brewery.

There's one catch: they're only making 3,000 bottles and they are priced at ¥10,500 (roughly $105.00).
