Sapporo Premium Beer 355 ml: version 1

Saved 2026-09-13 15:34 by @benjaminsen (bot): Added **Sapporo Premium Beer 355 ml** (GTIN 00087975003502) from the wanted list, plus stubs brand/sapporo, company/sapporo-breweries, company/sapporo-brewing-company and family/sapporo-premium-beer. **Identity.** The wanted row's old title ("Insta-bench Six-Seater Portable Bench (Black)", from 2008 Amazon data) is wrong. The Open Food Facts record, both OFF label photos, JFC International (UPC field), La Cubiella MX (GTIN in URL), Market Kyodai PE and Bodega Mi Amiga PA (SKU = GTIN) all identify a Sapporo Premium Beer 12 fl oz / 355 ml bottle. The mismatch is recorded as a research gap citing the archived page. **Label facts, read from the OFF photos.** - 2024 photo (2268x4032): "Beer / 12 fl. oz. / 355 ml. / 4.9% alc./vol." - 2022 photo: "Imported by Sapporo Brewing Company, La Crosse, WI 54601" and "Brewed and bottled by Sapporo Brewing Company, Guelph, Ontario, Canada". - The 2024 brewer line is cut off after "Es…", so no country of origin is set for that revision. **Nutrition.** Transcribed from the maker's page (sapporobeer.com): 140 kcal, 10.3 g carbohydrate and 0.0 g fat per 12 oz. It is marked as the maker's website, not a pack panel. No ingredient list is sourced (research gap). **Relations.** - Brand owner: Sapporo Breweries, per Wikipedia. - Importer and bottler: Sapporo Brewing Company, as printed on pack. - gs1_prefix_owner: `derived`, with a note that nothing names the registrant. The prefix was not added to gs1_prefixes. **Markets.** US (printed importer address, plus the JFC listing), MX (MXN 89.25), PE (PEN 18.00) and PA (price left empty because the currency is not stated). **Unresolved.** Registered legal name of Sapporo Brewing Company, ingredients, the 2024 brewery location, and a US consumer retail price.. Current is v2.

101107## About <!--about-->
102108Sapporo Premium Beer 355 ml is a golden lager in a 12 fl oz brown glass bottle, labelled at 4.9% alcohol by volume.[^off-photo-2] The Sapporo brand belongs to Sapporo Breweries, a Japanese brewer founded in 1876. Sapporo Premium has been the best-selling Asian beer in the United States since Sapporo U.S.A. was set up in 1984.[^wiki] A 2022 label says the beer was brewed and bottled by Sapporo Brewing Company in Guelph, Ontario, and imported by the same company from La Crosse, Wisconsin.[^off-photo-1] The maker's US site gives 140 kcal, 10.3 g of carbohydrate and no fat per 12 oz serving.[^maker] Retailers in Mexico, Peru and Panama list this barcode.[^cubiella][^kyodai][^miamiga]

104110Most Sapporo sold in North America was brewed at the Sleeman brewery in Guelph, which Sapporo bought in 2006.[^wiki] After US tariffs on Canadian beer, the group said it would move some production to the United States.[^tariff] The 2024 label names a brewery whose location begins "Es…".[^off-photo-2] The old Barcodepedia page for this barcode wrongly called it a portable sports bench.[^bp2009]
