Description: Yebisu Beer had become a household name in Tokyo as a hugely popular Kanto region beer, but in 1903, when the Sapporo Beer Tokyo Brewery began shipping Sapporo Beer, volume was 30% lower than the year prior. Not only had Nippon Beer handed its long-held crown to Osaka Beer, but it was edged out by Sapporo Beer, too, falling into third place.
