Hop BroAt HELIOS NAHA airport Brewery on the 4th floor of Naha Airport, a limited-time anniversary beer has been added. It’s called "Urizun White IPA," and being able to drink it before or after a trip is a nice bonus.
MugiWhoa, fresh beer at the airport!? And "Urizun White IPA" already sounds Okinawan and delicious!
Hop BroWhat’s exciting is that this is a limited brew made to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Palette Kumoji and Department Ryubo. The special collaboration from the Ryubo Food Hall being available at the airport brewpub too is huge.
MugiWhat! A White IPA? Is that like a white IPA? It looks like a beer from a snowy country!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s a style that adds IPA-like hop character to the softness of wheat. So it drinks light and smooth, but still has the distinct personality of an IPA.
MugiOh! And the article says it has a refreshing citrus aroma and clean bitterness, so it sounds really easy to drink, doesn’t it?
Hop BroExactly, and at 5% alcohol it’s nicely balanced. It’s built to be neither too light nor too heavy, so it goes well with food, which means it pairs nicely with airport meals too.
MugiIn that case, I’d want to order tortilla chips too! Beer and chips would instantly boost the travel mood!
Hop BroThe article also recommended pairing it with hearty meat dishes. The citrus aroma resets your palate, so it works well with richer foods.
MugiI get it, and I kind of like the word urizun too. It feels like the taste itself carries that Okinawan sense of a season that isn’t too hot or too cold!
Hop BroAnd because it’s limited quantity, you’ll want to check it early if you’re using Naha Airport. One drink at the start of a trip, one on the way back, and suddenly your throat is thirsty all on its own.
MugiWow, being able to drink the Okinawan sense of season is amazing! If I found this at the airport, I’d probably look for the beer before the plane!
