An Affordable New Type of Beer with Strong Flavor and Great Satisfaction
Under Japan’s alcohol laws, this beer is classified as a new type of beer, but it offers a strong flavor and satisfying authentic deliciousness like you’d expect from a typical beer.
It won first place at three beer competitions both in Japan and outside of it.
The use of German health brooker hops helps this beer achieve deep flavors and richness with quality bitterness and a refreshing aroma. It is made with care, aged long-term at a low temperature.
The alcohol content is a bit on the high side at 6%.

First time trying and surprisingly good for such a low cost beer. 6 pack less than 800 yen at aeon. Well balanced pilsner style lager of course but with more body than others in its class and a nice smooth, but slightly happy finish. I'd drink it cold as I can find. No off flavours at all. This is the right pilsner for me when looking for a nice smooth flavorful pilsner, but not in the mood to drop too much money.
