New Arrivals on March 23 at Izuya Shoten: Four Hansharo Beer Cans, Two of Them Nitro
Izuya Shoten, a beer pub in Nakanobu, Shinagawa, Tokyo, received four canned beers from Shizuoka's Hansharo Beer on March 23. Two of the four are nitro (nitrogen-charged) versions, offering a lineup that ranges from English-style flavors to award-winning American-style beers.
Hop BroFour cans of Hansharo Beer arrived at Izuya Shoten in Nakanobu on March 23. The range is broad this time, and it's the kind of lineup that makes you want to drink just by looking at it.
MugiWhoa! Four kinds? And two of them are nitro? That sounds like a spell!
Hop BroNitro means nitrogen-charged. Compared with carbonation, it gives you finer bubbles and a smoother mouthfeel, so it's easier to enjoy that creamy texture.
MugiOh! So even if they're both ales, they're totally different? I'm kind of curious about the difference when you compare them.
Hop BroFirst is Tarosabemon English NITORO Ale. It has the calm malt character you'd expect from an English-style beer, and the nitro adds softness, so it's the kind of beer that delivers a gentle, lingering savoriness.
MugiThat sounds like something that looks calm but suddenly tastes amazing! The next one, Yoritomo Nitro Porter, is that the dark-beer type?
Hop BroExactly. Porters are known for the roasted aroma of the malt. With nitro added, the drinking experience becomes like a mellow dark beer, and the bitterness gets softened.
MugiWhoa, now the dark one sounds interesting too! But Soun American Pale Ale won an award, right? That one sounds strong too!
Hop BroGood catch. It's the award-winning beer mentioned at the World Beer Awards 2025, and it has a nice balance of hop aroma and crisp finish, so it's a beer that clearly shows Hansharo Beer's strength.
MugiI'm curious about the last one too, NEW WORLD KOLSCH! If it's a refreshing style, I could probably handle it, and now I want to drink everything tonight!
Hop BroKölsch has that light, easy-drinking quality, but it's nice that it still leaves a proper aftertaste. Tonight at Izuya Shoten, I'm in the mood to compare the personalities of these four beers one by one.
