Bought a 330ml can at Takashimaya near Osaka Namba. Aroma and cloudiness similar to a Belgian wit. Peppery lemon flavor, very light and refreshing with very mild hop levels, slight sourness. Perfect for a hot afternoon!

Deep orange, not really transparent - and with a measured white head. Wheat spice in the nose, citrus peels and a bit of wet paper also there for some reason. Taste is wheaty, some citric notes and yes, also something sour-fruity. Cannot really spot yuzu although finish gets more grape seed bitterness and maybe, just maybe some yuzu peel spices as well. I think they didn’t use fresh fruits, probably some kind of extract. Sansho pepper is more easy to spot - at least when you know to look for it. Bit astringent and balance could be better. Overall, not really my thing, but still a bit better than expected.

Can from CBL 2017 but I’ve seen it at Suvaco/Isetan in Kyoto Station as well. Listed as a White Beer on the can so I used my Nagahama Weizen glass. Slightly cloudy gold in appearance with a thick fluffy head that unfortunately didn’t have much staying power. The aroma is earthy lemon rind and wheat flakes. The taste is similar with some tough biscuity notes thrown into the mix. Passable but needs work to gain some polish.

Can from the brewery. Hazy golden color with a tall, fine head. Malty nose with light yuzu, biscuity. Flavor is sansho, biscuit, wheat, light citrus. A bit too sweet and heavy, but getting there.
