Just FYI, a monopoly is a situation in which a single business controls the market; you mean an oligopoly. :) Interesting article.

All the beers brewed under licence in Japan that I’ve tasted share the same homogenous taste that the local brands have.

It seems to me that Loenbrau was brewed here with a formula that would not be allowed in Munich(Munchen).

Perhaps this is just my subjective taste, nonetheless I prefer the Japanese brewed beers.

My favourite is Kirin's Heartland (http://www.kirin.co.jp/brands/HL/index.html), but it's difficult to find. It has mixed reviews on Beer Advocate (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/292/6379/) but this is perhaps because it tastes noticeably different from other beer in Japan.

I am sure that does not mean you are drinking Bud when you drink the Japanese beer but it is a little dissapointing. It is technically not an import. I personally like Ebisu beer.
