Launched in 2021, Suntory Draft Beer aims to be the everyday lager — clean, light, and never overstaying its welcome.
A lager built around the daily Japanese dinner table — neither premium nor karakuchi, but a third path: the “quiet companion.”
Suntory's 2021 entrant aimed at a niche between Premium Malt's and The Malt's. The slogan: “a beer that never gets old.” Quiet personality, designed to be the choice every evening rather than a special occasion.
Moderate malt body with crisp hops and a clean finish. ABV 5.0%. Aromas are restrained; quality emerges quietly. The yellow label makes it easy to spot at retail.
Pairs effortlessly with grilled fish, simmered dishes, fried chicken, and gyoza. Equally good with Chinese fare like mapo tofu. Suits balanced home meals more than heavy single dishes.
Serve at standard 5-7°C. Any glass works. Forgiving of pour technique, making it easy to enjoy at home. The 350ml can suits a regular meal.
Founded 1899. Beyond this beer, Suntory makes Premium Malt's, The Malt's, and Fragrant Ale. Suntory Draft Beer is positioned strategically as the “weekday default.”
