Sourcing beer from Japan
Asahi Super Dry, Sapporo Premium and Kirin Ichiban form the standard Japanese set. Asahi is the volume leader and, for the European market, is produced at sites in Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom as well as in Japan. That matters commercially in two directions: European production makes the brand available on short lead times from continental stock, but some buyers — particularly those supplying Japanese restaurant groups — specifically require Japanese-origin production and will reject European stock.
Because of this, state the required manufacturing origin explicitly on any Japanese beer inquiry. We record brand origin and SKU manufacturing origin as separate fields precisely so that this is not left ambiguous on an offer. Japanese-origin stock carries longer lead times and higher landed cost; European-origin stock is faster and cheaper. Both are legitimate; they are not the same product commercially.
Japan beer — buyer questions
Which Japan beer brands are available for wholesale?
We can source Asahi Super Dry, Sapporo Premium, Kirin Ichiban for wholesale supply and export. Availability varies by destination, packaging specification and territorial distribution rights, so the list is confirmed against your specific requirement at quotation.
What packaging formats are available for Japan beer?
Published formats include 330 ml bottle, 500 ml can, 330 ml can, 334 ml bottle, 650 ml can. Formats differ by brand and by production market, and case and pallet configurations are confirmed per SKU before a loading plan is fixed.
What quantity do I need to order Japan beer?
There is no published minimum. Volume is agreed per enquiry against the lines you want, the destination and how the shipment is loaded. A full pallet is the most efficient unit for a single line, and smaller case quantities are routinely supplied within a mixed pallet or mixed container alongside other brands.
Can Japan beer be mixed with other brands in one container?
Yes. Mixed-brand consolidation is the core of what we do: products from several origins are brought together at a partner facility in the Netherlands and loaded into one container, under one invoice and one documentation set.
Where is Japan beer stock held?
Stock for these lines is held at approved partner facilities in the Netherlands, from which export containers are loaded and sealed. We do not own warehousing; fulfilment and excise-controlled movements are handled through partners holding the relevant authorisations.
How do I get a price for Japan beer?
Send the brands, packaging, quantities and destination through the quotation form. Prices are not published because a beer price is a function of quantity, SKU, destination, incoterm, stock position, excise status, freight and current procurement cost — a static figure would be wrong for almost every buyer who read it.
Origin is recorded at three levels
The country of origin shown here is the origin of the brand. The production site of a specific SKU and the warehouse the stock physically sits in are recorded separately, because for internationally licensed brands they are frequently different countries — and that difference affects labelling, excise treatment and import documentation.Product availability is subject to stock, destination, packaging specification, applicable trademark rights and territorial distribution restrictions.
