Drinking Up The Sapporo Museum

There's no way you can go to Sapporo and not visit the Sapporo beer headquarters. A tour, a museum and beer, seem mandatory. Let's pour.

Old brick building, smokestack, beer barrels, a tractor, the scene is well set.


On the beer tour. Gotta get your ingredients right.

And then your cool bottle.


It's really the sexy marketing that moves the suds. The museum had plenty of ad examples. The more recent ones were interesting, full of Japanese machismo. Someone was studying American Bud ads.

Ending on a good note, the sample room. 乾杯! Kanpai! Cheers!

Over-Exposed In Sapporo

There's something about gray days and Japanese environments. First Tokyo, now Sapporo. The clean lines, the spare feeling. Dial the exposure around, soak up the white and get some lovely results.
