The Faces of Sapporo.

As one would expect, the free Sapporo beer museum is tacky and kitschy, but the beer advertisement posters from the early 1900's-present provide plenty of entertainment and cultural insight.

Classy.
"Olive and Sapporo? But of course!"


Mom.
"Moms heart beer!"



Rico Suave-san.
"Sapporo helps to lessen the aftertaste of tuna colon... "


Frumpy.
"Sometimes I like to curl up with a Sapporo and watch Bridget Jones's Diary."


Bikini girl.
"You really don't care what I'm selling, do you?"
