In addition to the '#I Want to Drink Beer Too SNS Campaign', where 20 winners each will be selected by lottery to win an original T-shirt or original water bottle, the 'I Want to Drink Beer Too Sakatsu Campaign' will be deployed within the 'Sauna Ikitai' app, where 10 winners each month will receive one case of 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb' and original stickers. Please pay attention to the new WEB CM, filled with the appeal of 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb', perfectly suited for concluding a sauna day, and the deployment of the 'I Want to Drink Beer Too Campaign'. *1 The first canned product in Japan to achieve zero carbohydrates in beer (According to our company's research using Mintel GNPD) *2 Based on food labeling standards About the New WEB CM Through conversations between the 'slightly stubborn father' played by Toyokawa and the 'modern daughter' played by Nakajo, this TVCM series appeals to the charm of 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb' and the message that 'carbohydrates and deliciousness have no relation'. This time, as a WEB CM, it depicts Toyokawa, refreshed after a sauna, fighting the temptation of 'wanting a beer' while resting in the lounge, only to encounter the optimal solution, 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb'. At the beginning of the new WEB CM, Toyokawa is seen sweating in the sauna. He shows a surprised expression upon hearing a conversation between two people next to him enjoying the sauna saying, 'Should we grab a drink at that place on the way back?'. After getting out of the sauna and taking it easy, his daughter, Nakajo, who also returned from a sauna, appears wearing a limited original T-shirt born from the collaboration between 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb' and 'Sauna Ikitai'. When Nakajo casually asks, 'What's wrong? You have a grim look on your face', Toyokawa leaks, '...I'm fighting the temptation of beer'. Seeing her father like that, Nakajo begins to advise him, 'You know, Dad, what you should be fighting isn't beer...', and the scene changes to the counter of a teppanyaki restaurant. Nakajo hands a glass poured with 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb' to Toyokawa and tells him, '(What you should fight is) carbs!'. Receiving the unexpected suggestion from his daughter saying, 'Everyone's managing it well', Toyokawa tastes the 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb' as if chewing on happiness. Muttering, 'So there was this way', Toyokawa gazes at the 'Ichiban Shibori Zero Carb' with a satisfied expression. Please pay attention to the natural interaction between father and daughter in the new WEB CM, pivoting from a conflict in the sauna to happily drinking beer.
