This 330ml bottle contains a very regional japanese beer. Though I was unable to identify what kind of beer it contains and the proper name of the beer (sorry, still can't read the japanese label...) I was told that this beer label is based on a famous japanese manga created in the sixties, called GeGeGe no Kitaro, which tells the adventures of a boy born in a graveyard and several folkloric japanese monster-spirits. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeGeGe_no_Kitaro)
I was brought to me directly from Japan by Marie, a japanese friend and follower of this blog. The 5,0% alcohol beer traveled for over 12 hours to reach Germany, and I am therefore very thankful for her effort of carrying the extra weight in the luggage.
It is produced by the Gambarius brewery, I found the website, but it is in japanese and I can not, for all that is sacred, find myself in the website or get a proper english translation of it.
The recent facts and the tragedy going on in Japan due to the huge earthquake that hit the Island make me also include in this post my condolences for all the victims and my best wishes to all of those struggling to survive and build their lives back.
