What beer is popular in Japan?
Beer (ビール) is the most popular alcoholic drink in Japan and widely consumed at homes and drinking establishments nationwide. Four companies currently dominate the market: Asahi, Kirin, Suntory and Sapporo.
Which is better Sapporo or Asahi?
Sapporo is the oldest brewery still going in Japan and has clearly had time to fine-tune its recipe for maximum refreshment! Sporting a slightly darker colour than the Asahi, Sapporo Premium has a hoppier aroma and a generally sweeter taste, which makes it a strong contender to the crown of Japan’s top beers.
Is Kirin better than Sapporo?
Asahi Super Dry is another beer that competes with Sapporo and Kirin. However, Kirin has the edge over it, as Asahi is more like Sapporo with a slightly drier flavor. If you’re familiar with mainstream Japanese beers, then you’ll know about Onion Draft.
Which is better Asahi or Kirin?
The initial palate is crisper than the Asahi, and on mouthfeel and taste, the Kirin is like an improved Asahi across the board. The finish is mild but lingers longer than the Asahi.
Is Asahi good beer?
Asahi Super Dry is Japan’s most popular beer, and is known the world over. A great tasting beer that accompanies Japanese food to perfection, the name of this beer says it all: Super Dry, a beer with a light, crisp bitter taste and extremely sharp aftertaste.
