TOKYO — Guzzling beer too fast in the summer heat? A Japanese microbrewery believes that its novel glass can help you slow down.
Yoho Brewing, based in the Nagano prefecture town of Karuizawa, said Tuesday that it has developed an hourglass-shaped glass that takes three times as long to drink from as a regular glass, thereby promoting drinking at an appropriate pace.
