I recognised that Guiness was sold in Japan which was made in Dublin. A few years ago, when I visited Japan as the business trip from UK, which was made in Japan but it had become made in Ireland, same as England.
I didn't like binned Guiness because it's unlikely.... you know, I remember always I recognised I should go to the pub to enjoy it but no choice in this country.... but am afraid I had the same impression. I am not quite how I can express how I am feeling, it's not creamy as it was in UK or Ireland.
The other day, I went to Iresh pub in the centre of Tokyo but it was different. (I think Iresh pub is another one wherever you go, you can see, the other is Chinese restaurant.)
I have to admit I have to go back to either UK or England to enjoy Guiness. (In Scotland, I prefer Tennant's Lager to Guiness).
As the indication, it cost GBP5.00 a pint of Guiness and GBP1.30 a bottle of Guiness here in Japan.

Well, I do not know much about beer, especially Guiness, because of the bitteness of it, I do not drink it. I much prefer light sorts like Stella or Corona, but I guess it is just a women thing.
I do know though that e.g buckwheat in England, buckwheat in Russia and buckwheat in Sweden taste different. I think it depends on type of the "product" in the countries and "production process", because they are "produced" in different countries, even it is buckwheat in all the cases.
In case with the beer, it could be the storage conditions, how you handle the beer in the pubs/restaurants, it may have been transported different distances and been effected somehow...whatever it is, I guess the Irish beer you should drink in Ireland and Japanese in Japan.
