Two new Field Ales saisons arrive at Manchin Saketen / MANGOSTEEN
At Manchin Saketen / MANGOSTEEN in Daizawa, Setagaya, Tokyo, two bottle-conditioned saisons from Field Ales in Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture have arrived. Field Saison and Wash Away in 530 ml bottles are lined up, and you can enjoy them on the spot at the shop's standing counter.
Hop BroToday's story is that two saisons from Nagano's Field Ales just landed at Manchin Saketen / MANGOSTEEN in Daizawa, Tokyo. And you can drink them right there at the standing counter, which is basically unfair.
MugiWhat! You can drink them right at the shop!? Isn't that the kind of thing that sells your feelings before you even buy anything?
Hop BroAnd the arrivals are Field Saison and Wash Away. Both are 6.0%, and the 530 ml bottles are just the right size for two people to share.
Mugi530 ml feels like a little extra, which is nice! But wait, what's secondary fermentation? Is the beer secretly growing again?
Hop BroGood question. Bottle secondary fermentation is a finishing method where the yeast works a little inside the bottle to create carbonation. That's why the foam is finer and the flavor tends to gain more depth.
MugiWow! And the labels are handwritten one by one? That's basically a love letter from the beer world. Precious before you even drink it!
Hop BroField Saison is a bottle built around plenty of Cascade, bringing together the aroma and bitterness you'd expect from a saison. It also uses Cascade harvested the previous year from OKABE-san, who grows hops in Nagawa, which is a nice touch.
MugiWhat is that! So much hop love! If you talk about hops like that, I'm going to want to hug the bitterness myself.
Hop BroAnd Wash Away is a Euro Hop Saison with earthy, young-grass-like aromas. It has restrained fruitiness and a firm carbonation, and the idea of pairing it with wild vegetable tempura is really excellent.
MugiWow, wild vegetable tempura and saison is insanely good! If we drink it at Manchin Saketen in Daizawa, I feel like we're not going home today!
Hop BroExactly. When two calm, well-structured bottles are lined up, you just want both. One at the standing counter, and another to take home is a solid move too.
MugiDecision made! Let's do a side-by-side tasting of the two saisons! First Field Saison, then Wash Away, and at the end I'll get Hop Big Bro to buy me one more round!
At the beer pub Manchin Saketen / MANGOSTEEN in Daizawa, Setagaya, Tokyo, two saisons from Field Ales in Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture have been newly introduced. Manchin Saketen combines the elements of a liquor store, bar, deli, and lounge, and its signature feature is that you can enjoy the drinks sold in the shop right there on the premises.
The post highlights two bottles: Field Saison / Countryside Ale 6.0% and Wash Away / Euro Hop Saison 6.0%. Both are 530 ml bottles finished with secondary fermentation in the bottle, making them just the right size to share between two people. The labels are said to be handwritten one by one, giving the lineup a handmade feel that comes through not only in the beer itself but also in the touch of its makers.
Field Saison is a new batch of the standard Field Saison. It uses plenty of Cascade hops grown in Nagawa by OKABE-san, harvested the previous year, and is designed to bring together the aroma and bitterness that feel true to a saison. Wash Away is a Euro Hop Saison crafted with an eye toward pairing with the bitterness of wild mountain vegetables; its strengths are earthy, young-grass-like aromas, restrained fruitiness, and lively carbonation. The post also suggests pairing it with mountain vegetable tempura, making this an item to enjoy as much with food as by itself.
Manchin Saketen is known as a shop that carries not only craft beer but also mezcal and natural wine. This time, among that selection, it is an arrival notice featuring two calm yet well-structured bottles that saison lovers will want to stop for.
