Chocolate beer, honey-beer, tobacco beer… We now spotted coffee beer! Anchor coffee, a small coffee company in Japan and brewery Sekinoichi in Japan have developed a unique coffee beer. A drink for the real coffee and beer lover! During the brewing process of the beer they added coffee beans, the bitterness and aroma of coffee gives the beer a deeper flavor. To save costs, existing bottles have been used and are covered with small bean-shaped stickers. The packaging is designed by Nendo. Both villages where the coffee company and brewery are located, were destroyed by the tsunami in 2011. The coffee beer is a charity project to fundraise for disaster relief.

Very useful, because usually when I get sushi served it is always difficult to determine the type of sushi and ingredients ^Laura
