Yamaguchi Hagi Beer Co. Ltd.

This brewery produces Chonmage Beer, named after the samurai hair-style worn by the man on the label. Japan's beer market is dominated by bottom fermentation style beers that are crisp and easy to drink, but this brewery uses top-fermentation styles for aromatic, rich beers. Their products based on European beers are made with only water, hops, malt and yeast as raw materials following the Reinheitsgebot (Pure Beer Act). Their beers all share fruity aromas and rich flavors with thick froth to create a smooth mouthfeel. These unique beers make great Hagi souvenirs.
