About Japan Beer Guide

Welcome to Japan Beer Guide.

My name is Tomo, and I am the founder and editor of Japan Beer Guide. I am an independent writer and beer enthusiast based in Japan.

Japan Beer Guide was created to help international visitors and beer lovers discover Japanese beer culture. The website covers major Japanese beer brands, local craft breweries, limited-edition beers, beer museums, taprooms, and other beer-related destinations across Japan.

How This Website Is Created

Many of the articles on Japan Beer Guide are based on beers I have personally tasted, places I have visited, and products I have purchased in Japan.

When preparing an article, I also check information published by breweries, beer manufacturers, tourism organizations, shops, and other relevant official sources. Product availability, prices, opening hours, and reservation details may change, so readers should confirm the latest information with the relevant business before visiting or making a purchase.

Unless otherwise stated, the original photographs featured on this website were taken by the site operator.

About the Editor

I have been writing about Japanese beer for Japanese readers through Beer Note, a separate Japanese-language beer website.

Japan Beer Guide is an independent English-language project created for readers outside Japan. It draws on my experience introducing Japanese beers while focusing more closely on the needs of international travelers and overseas beer enthusiasts.

Japan Beer Guide is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with any brewery, beer manufacturer, hotel, travel agency, or tourism organization unless explicitly stated.
