Golden Kamuy Gets 6th Sapporo Beer Collaboration in July

Golden Kamuy

 

Golden Kamuy is no stranger to beer collaborations that match its incredible narrative, and the Sapporo beer brand is set to continue the now established tradition with its sixth collaboration since 2018. The latest tie-in will launch appropriately enough only in Hokkaido, Japan on July 4 with a new limited series of can and case packaging.

 

Different illustrations will be featured depending on the size of the cans purchased during the campaign, with Saichi Sugimoto, Yutake Shiraishi and Tatsuma Ushiyama toasting on the short cans, while Lieutenant Tsurumi, Hyakunosuke Ogata and Genjiro Tanigaki each hold food on the tall cans. The case packaging illustration will also differ between both can sizes with new artwork.

 

 

In addition, those who purchase the six packs of either size and fill out the postcard inside by October 31 will be entered into a prize lottery for a custom wood plate, with 10 winners being selected at random.

What awaited Sugimoto, who stepped into Hokkaido’s Gold Rush with dreams of making a fortune, was a tattoo map leading to a hidden treasure based on hints inscribed on the bodies of convicts in Abashiri Prison?! The magnificent nature of Hokkaido vs vicious convicts and the meeting with a pure Ainu girl, Ashiripa!! A survival battle for a hidden treasure hunt begins!
