Favorite Japanese Beer!

Clove · (#1 (**permalink**))

This goes to all you who enjoy a little drink once in a while, or a lot who knows. I'm not sure how many brands Japan has but i've only tried 3 Asahi, Kirin Ichiban, and Sapparo. I even tried a chinese beer Tsing Tao.

But as for my favorite, i like all of them, but i would have to choose Asahi. It just tastes delicious the whole way through. Super Dry!

Of the big beer in Japan, I agree. Asahi Super Dry is great. Sapporo Black Label is good, too.

For smaller beers I like Hitachino White Ale. A real treat.

asahi is too light in flavor, just like the all american bud light, another waste of my time. if you want something with a bite, stick with kirin or even ebisu is good from time to time.

when it comes to beer though, i gotta go with the green bottles.. heinekens all the way.

Oh man...how can you compare Asahi to Bud Light!? I think your taste buds are warped my friend, they taste NOTHING alike. Bud Light is my WORST beer ever.

I do agree though Heineken is delicious, but i was trying to keep it to Japanese beers :P

I have heard of Ebisu actually, never tried it. As for the Hitachino White Ale....that sounds delightful ^_^

Kirin The Gold, Sapporo All Malt, Asahi premium, Ebisu black.
Sometimes I drink also the cheap Nodogoshi nama, but it isn't good at all. Basically it's not even a beer...

see, i guess you didn't catch my point. i don't like asahi because it's like drinking water.. and the same goes for bud light. both beers lack the flavor that i'm looking for so i basically put them in the same category called water. i'm more of a dark beer drinker.

I have only had the pleasure of drinking two japanese brand beer, namely Asahi Super Dry and Kirin. Both were oke, they did the trick. Both got me to the state of mind they were supposed to bring me to.

But I dont think its great beer, I've had allot better.

On a side note; most Dutch people consider Heineken an average beer brand here, but sadly it is the most known beer brand from the Netherlands.

heinekin isn't really a big beer around the world. it's popular in hawaii though. although budweiser is the biggest brand of america, i thnk that it's one of the shittiest too. i can't stand it.
