You can always buy the less well known lines by these famous breweries for a fraction of the price. They are always trying to market the beer in different ways and as a savvy beer drinker you can take advantage.
I love my Kirin, but 270 yen is too much, so now I drink Kirin Strong Seven which sells for 170 (100ml) and not only is very strong (7%) but tastes real good too.
You should have a good browse of the beer section in the super and take advantage of the new lines.
If you just want to get smashed then the CHU-HI drinks sell for about 150 yen (100ml) and can be 8% alc. Are very easy to drink and give a very painful hangover 
The Chu-hi are a mix of fruit juice and pure alc. ENJOY!!! |
So many of those taste like Michelob Lite to me, though. Yes, the price is right on those "lighter" beers, but a lot of them taste like water and beer mixed together.
