Until not so long ago, the only way to get Japanese beer in Chile was precisely to go and eat in a good restaurant with this type of food. Fortunately, things have changed and there are already several brands that are marketed in the country through supermarkets and distributors.

Ideal, obviously, for cold Japanese cuisine, although it can be enjoyed at any time without too much problem. You can check out our columnist Álvaro Peralta’s selection of summer beers here.
