"Suzune no Hanayagi" is the second limited-edition beer brewed at YEBISU BREWERY TOKYO, born from the theme of beautiful women illustrations drawn by Ai Yazawa. Inspired by conversations with Ms. Yazawa and the image of "beauties in yukata, elegantly enjoying the summer," we have created a drink that beautifully harmonizes coolness and splendor, perfect for summer. Please enjoy the refreshing citrus-like aroma created by three types of hops and its light, crisp taste, along with the beautiful women illustrations.
