Japanese Beer Imported Another import of superb quality, even though of not such ancient culture, is Japa-

nese beer.

ITie romance of this great

industry, virtually unknown in Japan until a scant hundred years ago, follows a pattern of American ingenuity in humble beginnings. A Mr. Komin Kawamoto, a student of th* Dutch language and things foreign. acquired a taste for beer while visiting aboard Adm. Perry's ship in 1853. To satisfy this new-born taste he perused Dutch texts until he perfected a recipe and concocted

a brew for his own use. In 1874, twenty-one years lat-

er. it was discovered that tha soil and climate of Hokkiadowere particularly suitable for cultivating hops and barley, and in 1876 the first Japanese

brewery was established. Japanese beer lias been ac-

knowledged as a fine brew by visitors to Japan, or by those who purchased brands that have been in limited supply in the States. Until the past year Japanese beverages have only been im{K)rted into cities where there was a large Japanese population — Los Angeles. San Francisco. New York. Now, however, distributors are shipping to national districts so the American public as a whole can enjoy these excellent brews.

Of the Japanese brands now

on the American market — brews of the Pilsner type, light and refreshing — there is an excellent selection for serving as a beverage or for use as an

ingredient in many dishes.
