Japanese Beers and Hawaiian Sodas

[Hezezilla]

Thanks! I have one bottle in particular that I can’t seem to find information on. It’s a large beer with the following raised lettering. ANGLO JAPANESE BREWERY COMPANY LTD TOKYO.

Ho, that's a tougher one to find for sure. Much rarer than the abm Dai Nippons and Kirins. I unfortunately haven't done much research into the company yet so I can't say much. I will get back to you soon though. I'm receiving one in the mail from a friend in Kihei. I'll have one soon to look at myself. They're not super rare but certainly very uncommon.

I found these near Sacramento CA a few years back. One says Kiran Brewing Yokaham, one Tokoku Beer and the other is all in Japanese

Hi, these are all circa 1915 beers from Japan. Kirin is still in business whereas both Teikoku and the all Japanese one (Dai Nippon) have gone out of business. Teikoku Beer ran from 1912-1929 and Dai Nippon from 1906 until 1949. If these are for sale, I'd be happy to add them to my collection. Pm me if you're interested.

Right now they decorate
my office with a couple of saki-bin bottles found in the same area. If I do decide to pare down and get rid of them, they are yours.

A deceased.friend dug this on one of the Hawaiian islands and I don't think it is old because it says 2 litres, but it is three piece mold maybe. There is an added top lip, line up to top seam. It is 16.5 inches, no bubbles. Top with Japanese writing and etched Japan on bottle.

probably 1925 or so but to get embossing on the lip like that is weird. Never seen that before. The other one is a Takara Beer, post war. Lmk if they for sale.

Awesome. Big island get all the Japanese bottles. Can personal message me if you want to get in touch. Happy to translate some bottles (and maybe buy some if you interested)
