I am a staff member of a consulting firm based in Japan.
As a British native, beer is a more familiar drink to me than mineral water. In Britain, where the food is not delicious, the only thing we can be proud of is “beer”.
The history of beer is old, and it is thought that beer was introduced to our country around the 1st century BC, during the rule of the Roman Empire, when it was called “Britannia”.
After being transferred to Japan, I was surprised to hear my colleagues and customers order “draft beer for now!” at izakayas and sushi restaurants.
It was a completely new world, and seemed almost like a ritual or spell.
In Japan, “draft beer” refers to non-heat-treated beer, in other words, beer that has not been heat-treated. Did you know that this is not universally true?
With the cherry blossom season approaching, I will share the story of “draft” beer that I interviewed from Japanese food and beverage professionals.
“Draft Beer” and “Draught Beer” are different.
