What country's beer? どこからビール?
Yesterday, I bought some Asahi Super Dry Beer at the local super market. This is a beer that I would often drink when I was in Japan. And these cans look similar to what I drank there, including even having the words "Super Dry" and ”Asahi Beer" written in Japanese. And even the kanji character nama (生) which means draft beer.
昨日スーパーでアサヒスーパードライを買った。 日本にいた時アサヒを飲んだ。 ここで買ったアサヒと日本のアサヒは大体同じみたいと思う。 その缶も「アサヒビール」と「スーパードライ」をカタカナで書いている。そして漢字の「生」を書いている。But on reading the can, I found an interesting surprise. On the side, it is labeled "Product of Canada". Huh?
でも缶を読んで、びっくりした。缶のサイドで「カナダから」を書いている。何で?

Hi Peter,
I guess it is because of cost of shipping wheat and barley. Canada, I suppose, produces and exports wheat and barley, and I guess, hop. If Asahi produce beer at home, they can cut the costs such as shipping, petrol (reflecting recent rise in oil prices), labour and duty.
