Do you remember the first time you tasted beer? The frothy bubbles rising from a cold glass, the golden liquid shimmering in the light, and that unmistakable first reaction: "Bitter!"

In Japan, the reigning king of beer sales, Asahi Super Dry, has long set the standard with its sharp, dry flavor profile. Naturally, many of us associate beer with its characteristic bitterness.

Otaru Beer’s Organic Pilsner is a nostalgic nod to that classic bitterness—a clean, crisp brew that brings back memories of your first sip of beer, but with the refined craftsmanship only a modern craft brewery can deliver.

A Nostalgic, Bitter Beer

Pilsners are known for their crispness and refreshing bitterness, and Otaru Beer’s Organic Pilsner embodies this classic style to perfection. Its flavor can be summed up as “The Nostalgic Brew.” The retro design of its packaging perfectly complements its throwback flavor, evoking memories of traditional beer styles from decades past.

From the first sip, the bold bitterness stands out, offering a clean, sharp bite that doesn’t linger. The aftertaste is refreshingly smooth, making it easy to take hearty gulps on a hot day. With an alcohol content of 5.0%, it’s just right for those who enjoy drinking their beer in generous, satisfying swigs.

Founded in 2002, Otaru Beer hails from Hokkaido’s port city of Otaru. Its brewery, housed in a quaint, classical building near the seaside, is as memorable as its beers.

While the flavor leans toward nostalgia, the production values are decidedly modern. This pilsner is crafted using organic malt, a testament to the brewery’s commitment to quality ingredients—a hallmark of true craft brewing.

Pilsners are known for their drinkability, and Otaru Beer’s Organic Pilsner is no exception. Its crisp, refreshing taste is a well-deserved reward for parched throats under the summer sun.

Another advantage is its versatility. This beer pairs effortlessly with almost any meal. Whether you’re enjoying summer classics like grilled eel or diving into a hearty barbecue, this pilsner complements bold flavors without overpowering them.
