For many, a good beer isn’t complete without a frothy head. In Japan, this “beer head” is considered essential for optimal taste and aroma. But achieving that perfect balance of foam and liquid can be tricky, especially when pouring from a can.
Enter Nendo, a Japanese design studio, with their ingenious solution: the FOAM CAN. This innovative design ditches the traditional single pull-tab for a double-tab system. The secret lies in the slight distance variation between each tab and the lid.
The first pull-tab creates a narrow opening, ideal for generating a generous amount of foam. Once your glass is half-filled with bubbles, simply pop the second tab for a wider opening, allowing you to gently pour the remaining beer beneath the foamy crown.
This two-step approach ensures the coveted “golden ratio” of 7:3 liquid to foam, mimicking the ideal pub pour – all from the comfort of your home. So next time you crack open a can, ditch the foam-phobic approach and embrace the art of the head with Nendo’s revolutionary design.
