Yona Yona Ale was born in 1997. Inspired by the craft beer culture in the United States, we wanted to introduce authentic American pale ale to Japan, where only similar lager beers were available at the time. With this in mind, we named our beer “Yona Yona,” which means “every night” in Japanese. Today, Yona Yona Ale is one of Japan's leading craft beer brands, loved by many beer fans..
When you pour Yona Yona Ale into a glass, the first thing you notice is the citrus-like aroma of Cascade hops that are unique to craft beer. As you take a sip, you'll taste the balanced sweetness and bitterness from the caramel malt. Even after it goes down, the aroma lingers pleasantly, and finally, the “aftertaste” gently fades away. Yona Yona Ale will bring you a moment where you can forget your daily life and return to your natural self.
Our brewers strive every day to pursue our vision of craft beers that speak to the human senses. We start with a clear vision and carefully study the ingredients and manufacturing steps to achieve the ideal aroma and flavors. Scientific approach to beer is important, but together with inspirations that come from our curiosity, we create our truly unique craft beers.
We take pride in making beers as a team, and it’s a policy that reflects our commitment to continue delivering quality beers to our customers. While backed up by scientific approach and figures in our discussions and decision-making, we always leave room for great minds to inspire one another and create ideas to foster innovations.
