We experienced a different kind of happy hour at Dusit Thani’s UMU restaurant.  It was the perfect way to unwind after a long week, with one of my oldest friends.  UMU has a Japanese style happy hour every Thursdays and Fridays.  I thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience as everything served, was Japanese, of course.

No happy hour would be complete without some spirits to make one “happy”, ha ha.  Drink to your hearts content with an assortment of free flowing local beers, hot and cold sake, and cocktail sake.  My bff had some hot sake, while I had the cold, and together, we had a blast.  It was a perfect way to end our week.
