Beer In Ads #1556: Lady In Green

May 15, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Sapporo, probably from the early part of the 20th century. It shows a female bartender in a green dress with a red belt serving a bottle of Sapporo. I can’t read Japanese Kanji so I don’t know what it says, but it’s a cool ad and you can see why they obviously made a poster out of it.

    I’m no expert, but I managed to squeeze “opening” and “bottle” out of Google Translate. Makes sense given the prominence of the bottle, opener, and crown.
