Unique Japan

One of the many favorite pastimes for Japanese guys is drinking. Even with a long rich culture of Sake and Shochu, the most consumed alcoholic beverage in Japan is, you guessed it, beer. Many businessmen work hard so that they can enjoy a nice cold beer at the end of the day. So what are some popular Japanese beers?

The following is a list of beers that are, at least in the opinion of the Japan Food Analyst Association, the tastiest.

1.    The Premium Malts (Suntory)

Brewed only with high quality malts, The Premium Malts keeps its creamy foam for a long time. Delivering flowery elegant aroma, it leaves a refreshingly bitter aftertaste with a deep satisfaction.

Ebisu Beer uses an aroma hop from Bayern, Germany. By allowing the hop to ferment for a long time, the beer delivers quality bitterness that is both rich and deep.

Because I don’t drink alcohol, I can’t tell which one is my favorite (though, my husband is an Ebisu fan). You can definitely tell the different approaches and focuses of each beer by just watching the commercials.

Maybe next time you are on our side of the world, you can try some Japanese beers and draw your own conclusions.
