Day 8: Japan!

Hello everybody! Day 8 of the Import binge is tonight, and we're wrapping up Asia with an Iconic choice for Japan: Sapporo. Nice and light as is typical, this beer is usually a great start to some creative drinks at your local sushi bar, such as the infamous Sake Bomb. Nevertheless, it still satisfies on it's own, thanks to a rather safe and unadventurous formula.

Starting out, the nose on Sapporo is typically simple, but it comes off sweeter than usual. Tasting it confirms the first impression. Meant to be eaten with a light meal, there isn't much to distinguish it in taste. A limited cereal grainy taste is expected, of course, although I'm not terribly thrilled at the similarity to several other related beer styles. Overall, I'd say Sapporo is a safe beverage, and it does the formula rather well, even if I begrudge it for doing so.

Score: 7/10

See you tomorrow for part 9 - Europe!
