Yebisu x Tokyo University of the Arts: The Creation of "Fukubis"
Sapporo Breweries, a group company of Sapporo Holdings, is set to introduce a stunning limited-edition can design for its Yebisu beer. The special can, named "Fukubis," will be released on December 2nd, 2025, just in time for the year-end celebrations. This design collaboration with the Tokyo University of the Arts signifies Yebisu's commitment to creativity, celebrating their 135th anniversary with a unique artistic touch.
The theme for this year’s "Fukubis" embraces the brand’s philosophy: "Because we enjoy it, we can change the world." A group of nine talented students from the university's design course participated in crafting various art pieces inspired by the essence of Yebisu beer and new forms of celebration. Among these creations, the design by Momo Kanaabe was selected for the "Fukubis" can.
