Season 10 Episode 6 - Beer and Japan's Drinking Culture
When drinkers raise their glasses for a toast, it's often full of beer. Whether we are exhausted or delighted, this amber-colored liquid helps us wind down and lighten the mood. Beer was first imported into Japan towards the end of Japan's samurai era. Recently, microbreweries in Japan are enjoying increasing popularity, doubling over the past 5 years to number more than 500. The history and culture of each region is poured into each new local craft beer. Tonight, why not raise your glass!
