At the brewpub "T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori" in Clement Plaza B1 directly connected to Tokushima Station, "Azalea Ale ~Yeast of Bizan~," jointly developed by Setsuro Tech and Awa Beer, was introduced. It is a guest beer characterized by a floral aroma and a clean, crisp finish.
Hop BroThere's an interesting guest beer being served at the brewpub T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori, right next to Tokushima Station.
MugiWait, you can enjoy beer and yakitori together in the station basement? That feels like an instant win by itself!
Hop BroThis time's star is Azalea Ale ~Yeast of Bizan~, jointly developed by Setsuro Tech and Awa Beer.
MugiWhat is that? A yeast sourced from the mountain too? What do you mean by natural yeast from Mount Bizan?!
Hop BroThey used natural yeast collected from azaleas blooming on Mount Bizan and finished it in a hoppy Kölsch style.
MugiAs soon as you say Kölsch, it suddenly sounds complicated! But basically, does that mean it's easy to drink while still having a bright aroma?
Hop BroExactly. On top of that, they add a little sudachi peel, so after the floral aroma, a refreshing brightness just slips through.
MugiOh wow! And since it's unfiltered and unpasteurized, it sounds like you can enjoy that soft character too.
Hop BroYoitori also does charcoal-grilled Awaodori chicken well, so this beer should pair really nicely with the smoky aroma of charcoal.
MugiWow, just imagining it makes me hungry! If I can drop by casually in the station basement, I want to put it on my today's drink shortlist!
Hop BroYeah, the right move might be to swing by before or after getting around and have a drink with yakitori.
MugiDecision made! I'll go for the Azalea Ale, and Hop-nii can get extra yakitori. Now I really want to go right away!
Located in Clement Plaza B1, directly connected to Tokushima Station, "T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori" is a brewpub where you can enjoy house-brewed craft beer alongside charcoal-grilled yakitori. The calm, wood-toned interior is fitted with noren curtains at the counter and partitions around the table seats, creating an atmosphere that makes it easy to stop in alone.
The featured beer this time is "Azalea Ale ~Yeast of Bizan~", jointly developed by Setsuro Tech and Awa Beer. It is brewed in a hoppy Kölsch style using natural yeast collected from azaleas that bloom on Mount Bizan. Another distinctive touch is a small amount of sudachi peel, which gives it a floral, gently sweet aroma and a crisp, refreshing taste. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it offers the soft character that only this kind of beer can have.
At Yoitori, yakitori made with Awaodori chicken from Tokushima Prefecture and other ingredients is grilled one skewer at a time over charcoal and served fresh off the grill. The aromatic Azalea Ale pairs well with the smoky fragrance of charcoal and the savory flavor of chicken, making it a good choice for people who want to enjoy beer with their meal. Its location in the station underground area also makes it easy to combine craft beer and yakitori for a casual stop before or after shopping or travel, which is one of this shop's strengths.
