Hop BroFound a very summer-in-a-glass story: at Restaurant Platz, two special Akita Akura Beer brews are on sale right now.
MugiWait, both at once? Kanto Ale and Dokkoi Sho Lager already sound like a festival shouting match!
Hop BroExactly. They're a Kanto Festival pair, so tasting them side by side makes the whole summer theme click.
MugiBut hold on, golden ale sounds less like beer and more like a title a wizard wins.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Akita-grown rice goes into Kanto Ale, giving it a fresh aroma, a clean finish, and that rice-ear gold color.
MugiNo way, rice too? Golden like rice stalks makes it sound like Akita farmland is waving inside the glass!
Hop BroMeanwhile Dokkoi Sho Lager leans on malt sweetness and savoriness, and its aroma comes across calmer than the ale.
MugiHang on, how aroma rises? What is that, the smell standing at attention?
Hop BroPretty much the ale vs. lager difference: ale opens up more lively and aromatic, while lager feels cleaner and more composed.
MugiOkay, I get it now. And if Restaurant Platz pairs beer with food easily, then two-glass cheers is basically festival rehearsal!
Hop BroExactly. In central Akita, a head start on summer like that is unfairly tempting. I want one immediately... or honestly, both.
At Restaurant Platz in Akita City’s Omachi district, two special brews from Akita Aqula Beer are on sale: Kanto Ale and Dokkoisho Lager. According to the brewery’s Instagram post, they are available through retailers, restaurants, and the online shop, making the pair easy to look for.
Kanto Ale is a golden ale brewed for the Kanto Festival. It uses rice grown in Akita City and is described as having a fresh aroma, a crisp finish, and a beautiful golden color. It is a lightweight but well-balanced beer that feels especially fitting for summer.
Dokkoisho Lager is the lager counterpart named after the festival chant. It is presented as the foil to Kanto Ale, with an easy-drinking profile and clear malt sweetness and umami. Tasting the two side by side makes the difference between ale and lager easy to understand.
Restaurant Platz is a downtown beer pub where food and beer can be enjoyed together, which makes it a natural setting for this kind of seasonal release. For beer fans following Akita’s summer calendar, these two beers offer a compact, festival-themed snapshot of the city’s craft beer scene.
