This article covers a tasting set of 350ml cans, one can each of five types, sold on Rakuten Ichiba by the shop よなよなの里 エールビール醸造所, which is run by ヤッホーブルーイング, a brewer based in Nagano Prefecture. The set contains five types, よなよなエール, インドの青鬼, 水曜日のネコ, 僕ビール君ビール and 正気のサタン, and comes with one beginner’s book on craft beer. Based on the Rakuten product page and its reviews, we organized five points: content volume, best-before date, ingredient labeling, ease of use as a gift, and reviews. The features we could confirm on the product page are three: five types in five cans, alcohol content ranging from 0.7% to 7.0%, and two packaging options.
