In Europe there is a widespread beer culture, which has been part of the human culture for a long time. Asian, American or African beers are not often mentioned at all in Europe, though beer originates from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (possibly even as far away in history as 9500 BC). Maybe beer culture has not flourished in certain areas in recent centuries, because of different powerful religions (that maybe condemn alcohol use more often than Christian faith) in the region of Indo-Asia. The beer culture has been thriving mainly in Europe and later on in America. In Europe there is a legacy of Christian monks brewing beer, which is still nowadays happening in countries like Belgium. In Asia, though, there are not such culture, because there the main agricultural product is rice, but most beers are brewed from malted barley of wheat.
This Japanese beer is much like any other Asian beer (like Chinese Tsingtao, which I drink when eating in Chinese restaurants), I have tasted. I don't drink them too often, and haven't actually drank this particular beer more than couple of times in my entire life. Nothing exceptional about this. Taste is quite good for a basic lager, but head is non-existent and this is truly one of those "drink it straight from the bottle" -type of beers. Still, it's nice to notice that good enjoyable beers are made in every corner of the world.
*** OK
