KYOTO NUDE BREWERY collab "Chirin" tapped at Yamorido
At the brewpub Yamorido in Fushimi, Kyoto, the collaboration beer "Chirin / Weizen w/ kuromoji" with KYOTO NUDE BREWERY has been tapped. It is a Weizen brewed with kuromoji from Keihoku, and the shop is also serving NUDE’s collaboration beer "Amber Drops" as a guest pour.
Hop BroThe collaboration tapped at the Kyoto Fushimi brewpub, Yamorido, is hot. It’s "Chirin / Weizen w/ kuromoji" with KYOTO NUDE BREWERY, and even the name alone makes you hear the sound of a wind chime.
MugiWait, a name like a wind chime!? That sounds refreshing for a beer, and kuromoji is that plant that’s kind of like a tea tree, right? Now I’m really curious!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a Weizen infused with kuromoji from Keihoku. The key is layering kuromoji’s cool, refreshing feel and sweet, spicy aroma over the banana-like fruitiness that comes from the Weizen character.
MugiBanana-like and spicy at the same time? My head is a traffic jam of aromas! But somehow it comes together as something tasty? Beer really is mysterious!
Hop BroIt gets even more interesting when you look at the numbers. With IBU 11 / ABV 5.0%, the bitterness is restrained; the malts are Pilsner and Wheat, the hops are Motueka and Perle, and the yeast is Weizen Yeast. In other words, it’s designed to be light and easy to sip.
MugiOhh! So it’s not a heavy hitter, but more refreshing and gentle. That sounds perfect for a hot day, or as the first drink of the night!
Hop BroExactly. Yamorido is centered on house brewing, and this time the fact that the six house beers are all strong choices is a big plus. From the tea-inspired "Chakabuki" to the hop-forward "Tiger Kick" and the light "Yamori Gold L," it’s fun to compare them side by side.
MugiWhoa, that lineup already sounds fun! But aren’t there a lot of strong names? Things like "Ushigoroshi" and "Flying Gecko" make it feel like there’s a traffic jam of personality — I’d probably laugh while ordering!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they have NUDE’s Amber Drops as a guest beer. It’s a Belgian amber made with lemon and coffee beans, designed to evoke espresso lemonade. The best part is being able to compare beers from the same collaboration partner in different forms.
MugiWhoa, that’s cheating! If I drank Chirin and Amber Drops side by side, I’d probably be able to talk forever with that mix of freshness and roasty character. My throat already remembers beer for today!
Hop BroI know. This really makes you want to taste your way through Fushimi. Yamorido’s sense of place, the Japanese aroma of kuromoji, and NUDE’s playful spirit all come together, so it makes you want to have a glass right away.
MugiYeah, just reading about it makes me want to drink it! A gentle, refreshing beer really matches my mood right now, and I’d love to sit down and enjoy it slowly at Yamorido.
