Lager beer using Niigata Koshihikari rice. Crisp and refreshing with smooth finish. Goes very well with Japanese food such as sushi.

Can, medium stable bubbly head, aroma and flavor of honey and vanilla but not too heavy with a pleasant herbal bitterness. Quite drinkable but also quite simple.

Really nice sweet pineapple rice head on this. It's got a nice sweet grainy back too. Impressive.

Basic pale lager, a bland wave of rice sweetness and mild esters against a grainy backbone and almost no hop presence. Accessible, I guess, and probably a decent alternative to Asahi when you’re at the sushi restaurant, but otherwise as no-frills as it gets. Drinkable; not much else going for it.
