Greetings:

My wife, brother-in-law, and me recently visited Japan for nearly 3 weeks and very much enjoyed Kirin beer. At a restaurant for dinner I noticed some very fine looking advertisement posters on the wall for Kirin Beer. My son collects poster art. I asked the manager where I might purchase some and he said he’d check on it. I’d like to go to the source and see if any of the reprints of the older posters are available for sale and mailing to the U.S. I very much enjoy Kirin beer and would be pleased to obtain copies of these posters. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. My U.S.A address is 2579 Tower Hill Lane, Rochester Hills, Michigan 48306. My phone numbers are 248 601-9468 and 248 761-6127. Many thanks in advance.

P.S. I saw three Kirin posters at the Kitakaisen Sushi Restaurant in Okinawa not far from Ishikawa. The manager there is Mr. Senda and he said his posters date back to 1912 and soon thereafter. The posters there are the three classic ones.

This is one of my favourite brands of beer, one for the taste and two, for the unicorn on the label. Were I only in Japan to sample the heritage brews.

Cool site!
