 PROFILE
The party's over at Kirin Brewery Company. Slow to respond to changing taste buds, Kirin is neck-and-neck battle for market share with Japan's other top brewer, Asahi Breweries. Kirin makes several leading brews in Japan, including Kirin Lager and Ichiban Shibori. (Asahi Super Dry is #1.) Kirin Tanrei is Japan's leading happo-shu (low-malt) beer. Other beverages include canned coffee and tea, fruit juices, and soft drinks. It also has distribution deals with Anheuser-Busch, among others. To wash away the flat taste of its domestic beer operations, Kirin has expanded globally by investing in local brewers like Lion Nathan. Also active in floriculture and pharmaceuticals, Kirin is part of the Mitsubishi "keiretsu".
