At Vector Beer Kinshicho PARCO, the spring-limited beer "Shirozakura" has arrived. Introduced as a limited-quantity Sakura Hazy Weizen, it is a glass infused with the aroma of cherry blossoms. Offered in half-pint and pint sizes, it also has the casual appeal that suits a food hall location.
Hop BroAt Vector Beer in Kinshicho PARCO, the spring-limited Shirozakura has been tapped. It's a limited-quantity beer called Sakura Hazy Weizen, with the aroma of cherry blossoms.
MugiWait, cherry blossoms in beer!? A cherry blossom aroma? Does that mean petals are in it? That's so spring it catches me totally off guard!
Hop BroRather than the petals themselves, it's more like they've built the spring feeling through the way the aroma is brought out and how the beer is brewed. The style is Sakura Hazy Weizen, so the cloudy, wheat-based softness should be coming through.
MugiHuh! But what is Hazy Weizen anyway, some kind of spell? I get the cloudy part, but my head is already feeling floaty before I even drink it!
Hop BroSimply put, it's like adding a slightly hazy look and a fuller aroma to the mellow character of wheat malt. That's why Shirozakura brings spring vibes with a soft, smooth drinking feel.
MugiI get it! And the fact that you can try it from 700 yen for a half pint is super friendly. You can start with a little, then go for the bigger one if you like it!
Hop BroExactly. A half pint is 700 yen and a pint is 1,080 yen, so it's great that you can sample it casually and then take your time with it. In a food hall setting, being easy to pair with meals is another part of its usefulness.
MugiAnd they even have sandwiches, which is almost unfair! The official guide's Takumi Pork Premium Fillet Katsu Sandwich looks like it was born for beer.
Hop BroThere are also lighter dishes like garland chrysanthemum salad, so you can probably enjoy Shirozakura without getting in the way of its aroma. Vector Beer has the strength of house brewing, so the way it pairs with food is interesting too.
MugiI later found out that bottle sales are also available at IMADEYA SUMIDA! Drinking it in the shop and then checking it out as a souvenir on the way home feels like a spring beer outing!
Hop BroYeah, there is the pleasure of tipping back a glass in the shop, and it also gives you a reason to wander around the area. That's already enough reason to go drink the spring-limited release. It makes me want to swing by Kinshicho PARCO right now.
MugiTotally agree! I'm already in I want to drink Shirozakura mode today, and I can clearly see the future where I start with a half pint and then move on to a pint!
