Setouchi Brewery Releases a 6-Can Tasting Set of Three UDON BREWING Beers
Setouchi Brewery in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, introduced a three-beer tasting set from its UDON BREWING series, made by udon artisans. It includes Kama Tama Butter Udon Extra Large TRIPLE HAZY IPA, Yuzu Oroshi Udon HAZY IPA, and Tanuki Udon Hazy IPA. The lineup is designed so you can enjoy udon culture through beer.
Hop BroMugi-chan, Setouchi Brewery in Kagawa has dropped another interesting set. This time it's a 6-can tasting set of three beers from "UDON BREWING," brewed by udon artisans, and the best part is how it turns udon culture into pure beer fun.
MugiWhat! Beer made from udon!? Wait, I can already picture noodles going fizzy!
Hop BroThere aren't any noodles in it, but the idea is pretty bold. It's a 3-beer, 6-can tasting set, with two cans each of Kama Tama Butter Udon Extra Large TRIPLE HAZY IPA, Yuzu Oroshi Udon HAZY IPA, and Tanuki Udon Hazy IPA.
MugiWhat is that! The names are all so rich! Kama tama butter, triple, yuzu oroshi, tanuki - it feels like the menu at an izakaya just jumped into the air!
Hop BroAnd the contents are actually well thought out too. For example, Yuzu Oroshi Udon HAZY IPA has an ABV of 6.5%, and it layers the fullness of Kagawa-grown wheat with a refreshing note that feels like yuzu and grated daikon.
MugiABV, what's that!? You mean alcohol by volume, right? It suddenly feels like science class started!
Hop BroExactly, it means alcohol by volume. And Hazy IPA is a hazy-style IPA that tends to emphasize hop aroma and juiciness. That's why it's such a good style for expressing udon toppings and textures through aroma and mouthfeel.
MugiOhhh! So it's like reinterpreting food! If there's also a Tanuki Udon Hazy IPA, does that mean they're even expressing the toasted aroma of tempura bits in beer?
Hop BroThat's exactly the direction. UDON BREWING is centered on translating toppings and textures, and Kama Tama Butter Udon Extra Large TRIPLE HAZY IPA is especially rich and seems to have a strong presence even within the series.
MugiAnd at 5,000 yen per set, it's easier to try them together than buying them separately! If it's shipped refrigerated and goes out within five business days, my fridge is already standing by!
Hop BroBecause Setouchi Brewery handles everything itself in Takamatsu, from planning to brewing to shipping, it really feels like the atmosphere of the place comes through too. A set that turns the Setouchi climate into beer makes you feel like you're on a trip before you even drink it.
MugiJust reading this makes me want to drink it! A bowl of udon culture is so intriguing, and tonight I kind of want to warp to Kagawa!
Setouchi Brewery is based in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, and handles everything in-house, from planning and brewing to shipping. Against the backdrop of the Setouchi region, the brewery has been developing its udon-themed "UDON BREWING" series, and this new set has now been added so people can enjoy that world in one package.
This set combines two cans each of Kama Tama Butter Udon Extra Large TRIPLE HAZY IPA, Yuzu Oroshi Udon HAZY IPA, and Tanuki Udon Hazy IPA for a total of six cans. The price is 5,000 yen (tax included), while individual cans are 900 yen each (tax included). The product page states that it is refrigerated, and that it will ship within five business days of the order date.
Among the lineup, Yuzu Oroshi Udon HAZY IPA has an ABV of 6.5%. It is designed to layer the fullness of Kagawa-grown wheat with a refreshing character reminiscent of yuzu and grated daikon, and is introduced as a beer that evokes the feel of early spring. Kitsune Udon Double Hazy IPA has an ABV of 8.0%, and uses stone fruit and pear aromas to express the juicy character of the fried tofu topping. UDON BREWING is built around the idea of translating udon toppings and textures into beer, and the series reinterprets local food culture as craft beer.
Setouchi Brewery, based in Takamatsu and surrounded by the natural environment of the Setouchi region, continues to make beer that connects local character with drinkers' enjoyment. This three-beer tasting set makes it easy to compare the series' personality all at once, and can also be seen as an accessible entry point into UDON BREWING.
