Would you try Japanese beer?

Question

It's surprisingly light and flavorful, very pleasant. I usually am a teetotaler, but a woman I'm seeing is of Japanese descent and brought some import beer for dinner to share - an Asahi craft with flowers infused. I had half a glass and it went very well with our meal, it had a very distinct flavor but wasn't too strong and most importantly it didn't give me heartburn like beer usually does.

What about you?

The Japanese take their beer and alcohol making seriously, and for the most part don't cut corners and usually make some quality stuff. I've worked at a few bars, also made beer and moonshine a few times in the past. I'm surprised that Japanese beer is not more popular, it's very balanced. Here on the West Coast, there are a lot of bars that serve "craft beer". That could be any type of beer from a smaller brewery. Some of them are quite offensive to a person that likes normal beer, with crazy amounts of hops or way too malty. If you're ever at a bar and don't know what all the weird trendy beers are, a Japanese beer is always a safe bet.

I have had Sapporo, Asahi and Kirin over the years in Japanese restaurants. They're really good.

Beers from big corporations around the world taste the same. I drank quite often Asahi beer as I had contract in Japan and it tastes like 95% beer in EU. I'm pretty sure in Japan are private breweries who don't belong to huge investments groups, but those beers aren't distributed in Kombini chains.

I sometimes like the taste of beer.  I just don't like that bloated feeling beer gives me.  Japanese beers are among our favorite beers.

I adore Japanese beer! 🍺 It's like a refreshing revelation on the palate. Once, during a culinary journey in Tokyo, I indulged in an artisanal beer with hints of yuzu and ginger. The perfect complement to a platter of sashimi. Japanese beers often have a subtlety and craftsmanship that enhance any meal. Asahi's floral infusion sounds intriguing—such innovation in brewing fascinates me. It's these unexpected flavor profiles that make exploring beverages so exciting.

I would definitely try, given the opportunity.

fonduegirl · Answer

It's called sake right? I've seen it in anime

HawkPerception · Answer

Asians can't make booze as good as Europeans. I find their stuff tastes a little strange. Maybe it's just my palette, but I'm not even a fan of Sapporo.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Sure, I've tried Japanese beer, whiskey, and Saki. It's fun trying stuff from other cultures that use other local ingredients and separate methods of production.

Jersey2 · Answer

I have had 3 of those 5, including while in Japan. Nice but not as good as European beer. Clausthaler is a great German beer. Its inexpensive, tasty, but hard to find.

Levin · Answer

I've had Asahi. Yes, I like lighter bears. Peroni and Stella tastes like arsehole. Not that I know what arsehole tastes like.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yes, and most have been pretty good.

Dongie · Answer

I thought you were Japanese until I just looked at your picture. I've tried their beer but I would and will if there's any around my small town. Which I doubt.

Any time I go to a sushi bar I order either a beer or hot sake. The beers I get are usually Sapporo or Kirin. Both are pretty good, but not something I would buy elsewhere. I'm an IPA guy mostly.

MannMitAntworten · Answer

I have. Heck, my server at a sushi place I was at two weeks ago even asked if she could buy me a beer. She brought me over this giant bottle of Sapporo. Took me a while but ai got it down. Great beer on a hot day.

jamesgoldman · Answer

Even as a non-beer drink I found Asahi to be reasonably drinkable
