Magic Hour Kyodo taps Y.MARKET BREWING's RICE and WIND
Magic Hour Kyodo, the basement beer pub by Kyodo Station, has introduced guest beer `RICE and WIND` from Aichi's Y.MARKET BREWING. The Basmati Rice Lager w/Spice is a collaboration with biryani specialist NAGASHI NO BIRYANI.
Hop BroI want to talk about RICE and WIND on tap now at Magic Hour Kyodo, the beer pub tucked under Kyodo Station.
MugiWhat! The name already sounds dramatic! You can get that at a basement beer pub in Kyodo?
Hop BroYep, it is brewed by Aichi's Y.MARKET BREWING, and it is a biryani shop collab with Nagashi no Biryani.
MugiWhoa, but Basmati Rice Lager w/Spice sounds like a spell from a wizard cookbook!
Hop BroPut simply, it is a lager made with basmati rice and spices, and the first thing you get is cardamom and coriander on the nose.
MugiNo way, beer and rice teaming up like that? That sounds like a biryani movie trailer in my mouth!
Hop BroExactly, and it pours a deeper clear yellow with a light body, while the rice brings a gentle nutty note and soft sweetness underneath.
MugiWait, then ajwain and caraway show up too? That is way too many new spice characters for one tiny pint!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Those earthy spice layers build up, then a clean bitter finish snaps everything back into focus.
MugiOh, I get it now. It is not flashy, it is precise, and that sounds like a perfect food match with Magic Hour's spicy dishes.
Hop BroRight, and in a pub with six taps, a guest beer like this really stands out. This is a pint for dinner if there ever was one.
MugiMy stomach and my throat are both ready now. I want to head down the stairs in Kyodo and order one immediately!
Magic Hour Kyodo is a beer pub located in the basement right by Kyodo Station. With six craft beer taps and spice-forward food, it is the kind of place beer fans can easily drop into. In its Instagram post, the bar introduced a guest beer from Aichi's Y.MARKET BREWING: `RICE and WIND`.
`RICE and WIND` is listed as a `Basmati Rice Lager w/Spice`. It was brewed in collaboration with the biryani specialist `NAGASHI NO BIRYANI`, using Indian basmati rice and spices actually used in biryani. The tasting notes point to a clear deep-yellow color, a light body, and bright aromas of cardamom and coriander.
On the palate, subtle nutty notes and gentle sweetness from the basmati rice support a layer of savory spice from ajwain and caraway, before a crisp bitterness tightens the finish. It is a beer built on clarity rather than excess, and it should pair naturally with the spice dishes at Magic Hour Kyodo.
