Shiga Kogen Beer’s Yamabushi Ichi and NEW ENGI gift set featuring Sankei Nishiki listed
On the official online page of Takamura Honten (Shiga Kogen Beer) in Yamanouchi, Nagano, a boxed set combining NEW ENGI "Sankei Nishiki ④ Unfiltered Nama Genshu" and "Yamabushi Ichi Saison One" (product no. 196) has been listed. The set is notable for letting you enjoy the brewery’s two pillars at once.
Hop BroToday there’s a new Takamura Honten set, and it’s a can’t-miss topic for Shiga Kogen Beer fans!
MugiWhoa! Just from the title it sounds strong... it has Yamabushi Ichi and NEW ENGI together!?
Hop BroExactly. It’s the gift box set, product no. 196 listed on the official page, with two bottles: Sankei Nishiki ④ Unfiltered Nama Genshu 720 ml and Yamabushi Ichi Saison One 750 ml.
MugiWhat is Saison One even supposed to be!? The name is already so stylish I’m being left behind!
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-style beer, and Yamabushi Ichi is known for its dry, crisp drinking profile. It’s a versatile beer that slips right in alongside food.
MugiOhhh! So what kind of vibe does the phrase unfiltered nama genshu give off?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means sake that’s been packed with minimal handling after pressing, so it gives the impression of straight-ahead, full-flavored umami.
MugiPutting beer and sake made by the same Takamura Honten side by side lets you take in the brewery’s two main pillars all at once. That’s cool!
Hop BroBecause it’s a brewery that values steady refinement over flash, its long-loved signature saison from Yamanouchi Town really stands out, and it works well as an entry set too.
MugiDecision made! Tonight I’m putting Yamabushi Ichi on standby for dinner and Sankei Nishiki for afters, ready and waiting by the fridge!
On the official website of Takamura Honten (Shiga Kogen Beer), the brewery and sake producer in Yamanouchi Town, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture, the "NEW ENGI Sankei Nishiki ④ Unfiltered Nama Genshu / Yamabushi Ichi Set (gift box included)" has been listed.
According to the page, the set includes the following two bottles:
- NEW ENGI Sankei Nishiki ④ Unfiltered Nama Genshu 720 ml
- Yamabushi Ichi Saison One 750 ml
Yamabushi Ichi Saison One is one of Shiga Kogen Beer’s consistently well-supported saisons. Its appeal lies in a dry, crisp drinking profile and a design that pairs easily with food, making it a staple craft beer fans hardly need an introduction to. NEW ENGI, on the other hand, is a sake series also produced by Takamura Honten. In other words, the point of this set is that you can enjoy the same producer’s "beer" and "sake" side by side.
Part of Shiga Kogen Beer’s appeal is its brewing background rooted in Yamanouchi Town and its attitude of carefully refining existing styles. Because it is a brewery that has built up a style centered less on flash and more on beers you can keep coming back to for multiple glasses, signature labels like Yamabushi continue to be loved for a long time.
This newly listed item is suited not only for gifts, but also for anyone who wants to see the breadth of the brewery’s expression in one set. It is a highly practical combination as an entry point for people already following Shiga Kogen Beer, as well as for those who want to start exploring Takamura Honten’s lineup.
