"Tsugaru Vidro", which is the theme of "Tsugaru Vidro", is a handmade glass product designated as a traditional craft of Aomori Prefecture. “We created a beer that looks great even when poured into Tsugaru Vidro, which has various designs and colors,” says Gareth. The label has a design that incorporates eight colors of patterns inspired by Tsugaru Vidro's flagship product "NEBUTA".
