Mushima Hama Jozo, the craft brewery based on Mushima Island in Kasaoka, Okayama, announced it will take part in the "Enjoy Bitchu Jizake Fes SAKE-be!" on June 6 and 7. The brewery says it will offer tasting sets and debut a new sign at the event.
Hop BroA story with real Okayama sea-breeze energy just dropped. Mushimahama Brewery is joining the Enjoy Bicchu Sake Fest SAKEbe! on June 6 and 7, with a tasting set and even a brand-new sign reveal.
MugiWait, an island brewery already sounds like a trip I want to take! Craft beer at a local sake festival sounds seriously fun!
Hop BroFirst up is Mugi no Hajimari. It’s a saison with a crisp, refreshing finish, so it should pair really well with fried food, takoyaki, and cheese dishes.
MugiWhat even is that! I get refreshing finish, but the word saison suddenly makes this sound three levels fancier!
Hop BroA saison is a light, aromatic style, so you don’t need to overthink it. Basically, it’s the kind of beer that feels easy to keep sipping.
MugiOoh, okay! Then what about Drum Can Kaigi? That name is so intense I’m picturing a secret island strategy meeting.
Hop BroThat one’s a rauchbier, with local Musima hijiki as a hidden touch and a strong smoky aroma. Rauchbier means beer made with smoked malt, so it’s great with sausage and meat dishes.
MugiHijiki too!? The phrase secret flavor from the sea is making me want to summon a plate of sausages immediately!
Hop BroThen there’s Oyster Stout, a dark beer softened by the mineral character of oysters from Kitagishima, and the seasonal Dear From, a rich barleywine made with black sugar from Hateruma Island.
MugiThat range is wild, from light and breezy to rich and heavy! And if they’re debuting a brand-new sign, I want a photo before the first pour.
Hop BroThe sign was built from the base up by Mamiko from Boonies, and that local connection is part of the charm. It feels like an event where you can drink the memory of the island itself.
MugiThat settles it! I want to start with Mugi no Hajimari and finish with Dear From, but honestly I can already see myself ordering the full tasting set and trying everything.
