Y.Market Brewing's "JUNION" Tapped at KEG-NAGOYA: A Sake Yeast and Lychee Pour
At the beer pub KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya, Y.Market Brewing's new release "JUNION" has arrived. Made with sake yeast, rice flour, white koji, and lychee, this Sake Yeast Ale w/Lychee is designed as a beer best enjoyed slowly from a wine glass.
Hop BroThe new Y.Market Brewing release "JUNION," tapped at KEG-NAGOYA in Higashisakura, Nagoya, is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa, even the name sounds stylish! But what kind of beer is JUNION?
Hop BroIt's a Sake Yeast Ale w/Lychee. It's an idea leaning a little toward craft sake, made with sake yeast, rice flour, white koji, and even lychee.
MugiWhat is that! Sake yeast and white koji? That's basically a freedom-study project in the beer world! Isn't that just a total ingredient traffic jam?
Hop BroIt's not going off the rails; there's a clear intent. The malt character is kept modest, and the gentle sweetness from the rice plus the acidity from the koji create a crisp finish, while the lychee adds body and roundness.
MugiOhhh! So this isn't a chug-it-down beer, but a sip-slowly kind of drink. It kind of sounds like wine, which makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. It's designed to be enjoyed through aroma in a glass, like champagne or white wine, and at 5% ABV it stays light and easygoing.
MugiAnd KEG-NAGOYA serves 13 draft beers at all times on a rotating daily lineup, right? That sounds fun just to choose from!
Hop BroRight. It's within walking distance of Sakae Station, Oasis 21, and the Nagoya TV Tower, and because daytime drinking is okay, it's easy to drop in casually.
MugiWow, it seems great for both dates and solo drinking! That lychee aroma is definitely the kind that makes you grin on the first sip.
Hop BroIt has Y.Market's playful spirit and the fresh feel that only a directly operated shop can offer, so this is definitely a beer I want to toast right now.
