Guinness in Edo Era Japan Clarification

Guinness in Edo Era Japan

Another nice April Fool's gag comes from Guinness which claims to have found evidence of Guinness in 1791 (Edo Era) Japan. The news release includes this photo and quotes from a fictional Japanese scholar. Cheers. ギネス ビール 江戸時代

In Japan, work calendars and school years coincide with the fiscal year, therefore most new employees enter companies on April 1st. On TV, in newspapers and online there were many images of new faces at company entrance ceremonies all across Japan. This photo is of new employees at Fujiya.
