Japanese Beer

Today I was in Stockholm and visited an expo called “Det Goda Köket” (The Delicious Kitchen).
It’s an expo were you walk around and taste all kind of delicious food from all around the world and drink wine.
It was a really taste experience and I look forward to the next years expo.

Before I took the train home to my hometown Västerås I ate dinner at a Japanese restaurant called Ikki Sushi.
There I ate something called “Ikki-zen” which basically is a mixed plate of Tempura, Sushi and Yakiniku.
Really delicious I can tell and with that I drank beer, Japanese beer.

The main topic of this post is Japanese beer and I kind of had a flashback when I drank that beer at Ikki Sushi.
I remember when I was in Japan this summer and drank Japanese beer for the first time.
The first thing I thought about the taste then was how sweet it was (especially Asahi beer).
No offense about the taste but I think Japanese beer differs a bit from other breweries like Heineken and Carlsberg (and also Swedish breweries like Mariestads and Pripps).
Like I said Japanese beer is a little bit sweeter and really I like it, especially together with Japanese food ; ).

A question to my readers is what is your favourite beer?
Mine is Mariestads, I love the full-bodied and bitter taste.
