On tap at Kobe Harborland steak house, 550 yen to go glass. It pours a rich deep gold with a thick foamy off-white head. The aroma has a slight yeasty fruitiness I don’t typically associate with a pilsner. The mouthfeel is smooth & full while the taste is pretty good: earthy, malty nutty/biscuit notes with a crisp clean bitter finish. A tasty beer. --update, had another take out glass today(Nov. 2015) and it is a crisp Pilsner with an aromatic floral hop bouquet, easy drinking and kicked this up by 0.2.

Draught at the Harbor Land Sandaya Restaurant in Kobe. Dark golden, almost amber color, with a thick, fine head. Rich malty nose, with biscuits and bread, and nice grassy hops. Sweet, rich malt flavor, citrus and grassy hop, and a touch of caramel. Bread and cereals galore! Soft, citrus and pine bitterness in the finish. Smooth, soft mouth; rich yet light, but with a rather prickly finish. Great.
