Naminooto Brewing Sells Collaboration IPA at TAKAMURA COFFEE in Awaji City
Naminooto Brewing in Minamiawaji, Hyogo, introduced its stockist at TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS FACTORY AND CAFE in Awaji City. The collaboration beer, "TAKAMURA ROASTERS IPA," brewed together with the shop that had already been carrying its bottles, is also available for purchase in-store.
Hop BroToday, it is about Hyogo's Naminooto Brewing teaming up with TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS FACTORY AND CAFE in Awaji City. The collaboration beer is called TAKAMURA ROASTERS IPA.
MugiWhat! Beer at a coffee shop!? And it's a collaboration IPA? Just seeing that already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroAnd it's not just a random idea. The key point is that it uses lightly roasted Brazilian beans. Because the beans are roasted at TAKAMURA, the coffee's character really comes through too.
MugiLight roast? Wait, are we getting sucked into the coffee bean rabbit hole here?
Hop BroLight roasting means roasting less aggressively so the beans keep their acidity and fruitiness. That is why this IPA is designed so its fruity aroma layers with the hops instead of clashing with them.
MugiI see! So the hop aroma and the coffee aroma come through together. It sounds refined, but also like it would get lively the moment you drink it!
Hop BroExactly. The flavor is described as having a sweet, smooth mouthfeel, and there is also a fragrant, caramel-like note. What's interesting is that it is not just bitter, but gently rounded out.
MugiCaramel too!? That's basically the beer world's cafe latte vibe, isn't it?
Hop BroOn top of that, the shop is even suggesting pairings with lemon donuts and coconut donuts. With terrace seating feeling great in this season, coffee, beer, and sweets make a pretty strong lineup.
MugiNot just strong, that's almost cheating! It feels like a new way to enjoy Awaji Island, and now I really want to go right away. This is definitely the kind of place we need to drink at together!
Introducing the Retailer and Collaboration Beer
Naminooto Brewing, based in Minamiawaji, Hyogo Prefecture, introduced TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS FACTORY AND CAFE in Awaji City as one of its retailers. In the post, it noted that the shop had already been carrying Naminooto Brewing bottle beers, and announced that the two had now brewed a beer together.
Collaboration Beer: "TAKAMURA ROASTERS IPA"
The collaboration beer introduced is TAKAMURA ROASTERS IPA. It is a juicy IPA made with lightly roasted Brazilian coffee beans roasted at TAKAMURA COFFEE ROASTERS FACTORY AND CAFE, and is designed so that the fruity aroma from the beans layers with the hop aroma. The post explains that it offers a sweet, smooth mouthfeel along with a fragrant, caramel-like flavor.
A Suggestion for Enjoying It at the Shop
In addition to buying it at the store, Naminooto Brewing recommends stopping by while the season is pleasant for terrace seating. It also suggests pairing the beer with the lemon donuts and coconut donuts sold in the shop. This initiative stands out not only for the beer itself, but also for the way it can be enjoyed together with café-style sweets.
Brewing "Ingredient-Driven" Beer in Minamiawaji
Naminooto Brewing is a craft beer brewery based in Minamiawaji City. On its official website, it says it aims to create sake that makes the most of local ingredients while connecting "people and agriculture," "people and people," and "people and culture" against the backdrop of Awaji Island's nature and farming. Its actual lineup also features products that make use of local ingredients, such as Awaji Island navel oranges, koji from Minamiawaji, and sea salt from Goshiki Beach in Sumoto.
This introduction of a retailer can be seen as an effort to extend those ties to the land through a collaboration with a coffee shop. The proposal, which includes beer, coffee, and even donuts, points to a new way to enjoy Awaji Island.
