I use https://www.amazon.com/Minwax-63200-Helmsman-Urethane-Finish/dp/B000Y4II3I/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1473080884&sr=8-6&keywords=spar+varnish whenever I'm concerned about yellowing, say from the sunlight from a window. It's formulated to block UV which is what causes fading and yellowing.

It will not give you the finest furniture lacquer quality finish, but a very nice finish is doable if you take care with multiple coats, sand between coats, use a proper tack rag, maybe thin a tiny bit with mineral spirits to get thinner coats. Finish is tough and you don't have to worry about damage from the misc stuff that gets thrown on tables.

The only drawback is that it is oil based, so you need good ventilation when working with it and it takes a few days to lose the smell completely.

From the translation, its just a solvent based urethane finish. This would be similar, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Y4II3I. There are lots of manufacturers of solvent based urethane finishes though.
