As Japan entered the Meiji period in the late 1860's, a long period of isolationism was ended and Japan began adopting many Western customs, styles and tastes including the making of beer. Today beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in Japan even surpassing sake.
Many Japanese people brew their own beer, and Japan also has three major breweries. The three major breweries are Sapporo, Asahi and Kirin, while small local breweries supply distinct tasting beers. At Tensuke, our selection of Japanese beer includes:

Here’s a little tip: In Japan, it is considered customary when drinking with a friend or colleague to pour some of your beer for them first. Enjoy!
