This is the 6th of 8 filings we hold from Suntory. It is one of 28 rice lager labels approved in July 2026. It cleared 2 days after it was filed. It was brewed under contract — Yamada Trading, Inc. holds the permit, which is ordinary in the register and easy to miss on a shelf. It is an imported label, filed for US distribution.
Type-only label with the beer name and regulatory information set in a serif typeface on a cream field. No illustration or decorative elements are present.
From the label“Product is labeled 'SUNTORY KINMUGI BEER CAN' with 5% ABV and 350 ml volume. Suntory Kinmugi is a Japanese beer brand; Kinmugi is a well-known Japanese rice lager. The label states 'PRODUCT OF JAPAN' and 'IMPORTED BY YAMADA TRADING INC.' The rotated back label text is largely illegible but confirms Japanese brewing heritage. No explicit style word appears on the label itself, so classification relies on name inference (Kinmugi = Japanese rice lager). Confidence is moderate (0.65) because the style is inferred from the brand name rather than explicit label designation, though Kinmugi's identity as a rice lager is well-established in the market.”
