Kirin is advertising a new summer beer concept using its best selling beer - Kirin Ichiban Shibori (キリン一番搾り). It is called frozen beer, but is actually a patented process where the beer foam is frozen and then used to top the beer as if it were soft ice cream. They claim it provides a new mouth feel and keeps the beer cold for 30 minutes. They are conducting a campaign to giveaway special units to prepare to beer at home and they are setting up special Frozen Gardens in major cities where the frozen beer can be found.

Starbucks has renewed its Matcha Latte product and renamed it Kyoto Matcha Latte. The news release mentions wanting a Japanese image for the product, but does not mention where the matcha will be sourced. I assume it will be Kyoto green tea.

Burger King has introduced a new chicken collection which includes a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and a Roast Chicken Sandwich. I do not see a time limit and I don't know if the chicken patties actually are formed into the shape of a rooster or not (as in the image).
