A Dortmunder style lager brewed from 100% by Sapporo. First brewed in Tokyo in 1890, the city's neighbourhood of Ebisu is named after this beer which was originally produced there. (The Y is silent when pronounced.) The brand was forgotten until resurrected in 1971 as Sapporo's 'premium' beer.
The beer itself is named after Ebisu (恵比須, 恵比寿, 夷) a Japanese Shinto deity who is known as 'The Laughing God', hence, as on this beer, he is often depicted with a broad smile holding a fishing rod and a large red bream.

Malty nose with faint lemon zest and herbal aromas (slightly reminiscent of match box striking paper).
Pronounced maltiness the palate with creamy mouth feel and faint hop notes.
Lingering breakfast tea-like with slightly bitter tannins and faint lemon zestyness.
