MugiWhat? A limited lager? And Sankei Nishiki sounds like a spell!
Hop BroIt’s a 5.5% ABV, 18 IBU limited rice lager, brewed with estate-grown Sankei Nishiki sake rice and spelt wheat.
MugiWhat does IBU 18 mean? If it’s a beer exam, I’m definitely retaking it!
Hop BroIBU measures bitterness, and 18 is fairly gentle. It means easy-drinking balance, not a bitterness contest.
MugiNice! A bright blonde beer with rice umami and a touch of sweetness—this is a meal lover’s beer!
Hop BroIt drinks clean and sharp, then finishes dry. Noble-hop herbal notes meet homegrown Cascade’s gentle fruity character.
MugiNoble hops? Royal hops?! I suddenly feel like I’m having a palace lager moment!
Hop BroBasically, they bring elegant, herbal-floral aromas. The beer’s appeal is its food-friendly balance.
MugiAnd they have Oni Densetsu’s Sweet Strawberry, Tropical Hop Weiss from Hansharo, and Uchu Brewing’s Relax? I want a full tasting mission!
Hop BroRelax is nearly kicked, so check soon. The smoke-free bar is in the basement of Kobe Plaza Hotel—tap availability may change.
MugiLet’s sample a few after work and toast with HOUSE LAGER at the end! I’m ready to drink crisp lager now!
