New Matsudo Beer Tap in Minamikashiwa

At "Tsumugi, the Craft Beer Shop on the Second Floor" in Minamikashiwa, Chiba, Matsudo Beer's "Lemon Tea Saison" has been newly tapped. The shop's announcement describes it as a beer made with plenty of green lemons from Matsudo, suggesting a bright citrus aroma and the refreshing drinkability typical of a saison.

Tsumugi is a beer pub with eight kinds of domestic craft beer on draft. The owner, a certified beer taster with the Japan Craft Beer Association, selects the beer they want to drink that day from breweries all over Japan, and part of the fun is following the rotation of guest beers. As with Matsudo Beer this time, one point worth noting is when a local Chiba brewery appears on the lineup.

What the Beer Is Like

- A citrusy saison made with green lemons from Matsudo
- A domestic craft beer for people who want a crisp, easy-drinking profile
- A lineup where you can first sample the flavor and then choose

Tsumugi offers a tasting menu, which makes it easy to check the direction of the flavor even when the beer is unfamiliar. Rather than complicated explanations, the atmosphere lets you decide while consulting with the staff based on your mood, making it easy for people who are not very knowledgeable about beer to step in.

The interior is bright and casual, making it easy to use whether you're drinking alone or extending a family meal. It is also easy to visit with small children, and since they welcome visits for just "a quick drink," it's a place worth remembering as an easy stop near the station.
