Hop BroToday, let’s visit Heart&Beer Nihonkai Club in Noto, Ishikawa. It’s a brewery on a hill overlooking the sea—sounds like a beautiful place for local beer.
MugiWhat! A brewery with ocean views? Beer in hand and a huge view—this already sounds like a win!
Hop BroIt was founded in 1998, blending Oku-Noto’s fermentation culture with Czech brewing techniques. History and romance, both with a proper head of foam.
MugiWhat are Czech techniques? Do Czech brewers cast spells on the beer or something?
Hop BroClose—it is foam magic! Think of the Pilsner: a tradition of slow, cool lager brewing that tends to create a crisp, polished flavor.
MugiNice! Their Pilsner has malt richness, a fresh grassy hop aroma, balanced bitterness, and a clean finish. It sounds great with food!
Hop BroExactly. Another signature beer, Oku-Noto Densetsu, is an amber lager made with Noto deep seawater. Its richness, umami, and crispness work with meat, Chinese dishes, and local cuisine.
MugiDeep seawater sounds powerful! If I drink it, will my knowledge of the ocean suddenly become deeper too?
Hop BroMaybe not your knowledge, but certainly the mood! For something light, try Pole Position, a session pale ale made with Nelson Sauvin hops. Perfect as a first drink with a meal.
MugiPole Position first, Pilsner with food, then Oku-Noto Densetsu… the drinking order is set!
Hop BroA beer on the terrace or balcony overlooking Kuri-gawajiri Bay would bring together Noto’s nature, food, and fermentation culture. Just check opening days first on the official site.
MugiGot it! Let’s go taste Noto with the view as our snack. Ahh, I want to toast now!
