Hop BroAt Yamorido in Fushimi, there’s a new release tapping on May 9. Just from the name, KYOTO NUDE BREWERY’s collaboration “Chirin-Weizen w/Kuromoji” already feels like it’s giving off a strong aroma.
MugiWhoa! Chirin-Weizen sounds so refreshing! Weizen makes me think of something light and sweet, but what is Kuromoji, anyway? Some kind of tea tree or something?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. Keihoku-grown Kuromoji is a Japanese aromatic wood that brings a clean, refreshing character and a sweet, spicy aroma. They’re layering that over the fruity side of a Weizen.
MugiI see... but if it’s based on Weizen, what does that actually taste like? I get the soft feel, but is the beer suddenly going to turn into a forest?
Hop BroNot into a forest, but you’re not too far off. It starts with soft fruitiness as the base, then the Kuromoji aroma floats in from above. That’s why it isn’t heavy, and why it’s perfect for spring through early summer.
MugiOhhh! So drinking it at Yamorido would make it feel like a seasonal glass! And since it’s a brewpub, it probably has that just-brewed excitement too!
Hop BroExactly. Yamorido isn’t just about its own brewing; it also offers guest beers and Fushimi’s sake culture. So as a beer that fits the Fushimi neighborhood, this collaboration is a really good match.
MugiThat’s so stylish, even the way you drink it! So if you check the aroma first and then pair it with food, you can get a better sense of the shape of the aroma, right?
Hop BroExactly. If you start with the aroma, then take a sip, and finally pair it with food, the Kuromoji character becomes more three-dimensional. Because it has that Japanese ingredient feel, craft beer fans will probably grin at the details.
MugiJust hearing about it makes me want to drink it...! If there’s no heaviness and it’s refreshing, I could probably keep going easily!
Hop BroThen it’s settled. In Kyoto’s Fushimi, taste “Chirin” with KYOTO NUDE BREWERY’s sensibility behind it, and it’s the kind of beer that makes you want to see it for yourself in the glass.
MugiYeah, yeah, I want to go right now! Let’s have a drink together while checking out the Kuromoji aroma!
