"Changing the Standard Drink of This City." Matsui Shuzo Begins Full-Scale Rollout of Commercial Keg Beer "Matsui Beer (MB)" in Osaka Area!

Matsui Shuzo Gomei Kaisha (Headquarters: Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture) is launching a full-scale rollout of its commercial beer, "Matsui Beer (MB)," for restaurants in the Osaka area as a new challenge for the comprehensive liquor manufacturer.

Leveraging the commitment to quality cultivated through whiskey making, we have pursued "the best glass of beer that can be served daily at a restaurant." This is a new standard beer for restaurants, thoroughly refined in its balance of taste, cost, and supply.

Supporting the "Front Lines of Food" as a Comprehensive Liquor Manufacturer Matsui Shuzo has delivered numerous alcoholic beverages, including the world-renowned whiskey "Kurayoshi."

As the business environment for restaurants becomes increasingly severe due to recent soaring prices of raw materials and energy, we believe it is the mission of a comprehensive liquor manufacturer to deliver "good products at a fair price." We have decided to fully launch our commercial beer, maximizing the cost benefits of in-house production and direct transactions.

Four Strengths of "Matsui Beer (MB)"

① Overwhelming Cost Performance and "Price Stability" We have thoroughly cut intermediary margins through integrated in-house manufacturing and direct sales. ・Stable price of 450 JPY per liter: We will supply it to any restaurant at a stable price (450 JPY/L) that is less susceptible to market trends. ・Improved profitability: For beer, a high-turnover product, this directly leads to reducing the cost ratio and securing profits for restaurants.

② Total Support to Reduce Initial Costs We don't just supply a product; we walk alongside you as a partner in store management. ・Free server rental: To reduce the burden of initial investment, we will lend beer servers free of charge. ・Tool and sales promotion support: In addition to providing original glasses and promotional tools, we offer multifaceted backup for on-site sales, such as workshops on how to pour deliciously. ・Prompt follow-up: We aim for a swift, locally-rooted response in case of trouble or additional orders.

③ A Classic Taste Designed for "Ease of Use" in Restaurants We pursued a "never-tiring taste" that you can enjoy glass after glass. ・A crisp, classic lager: A clear, refreshing taste that emphasizes a smooth finish down the throat. ・A balance that complements any dish: It enhances all genres of cuisine, from Japanese to Western and ethnic foods. ・Maintains the excitement of the first glass: Designed to be enjoyed to the last sip by suppressing off-flavors.

④ Stable Supply from a State-of-the-Art Production System A large-scale beer factory will be completed in Tottori City in December 2025. ・Introduction of the latest equipment: Highly efficient production lines achieve both stable quality and high manufacturing efficiency. ・Securing supply capacity: We have established a supply system that can immediately respond to the needs of restaurants, minimizing the risk of stockouts.
