MugiWait! A beer made with hassaku? Is it easy to drink like citrus juice?
Hop BroClose, but it’s not just sweet. It keeps a good balance of moderate sweetness and acidity, along with the pleasantly bitter note that’s typical of hassaku.
MugiThat bitterness sounds kind of too adult for me. So what exactly is a flavored beer supposed to taste like?
Hop BroIt’s a beer base layered with the character of fruit. This Harusaki is designed to balance fruitiness and body.
MugiWow! And it goes on sale on May 22, 2026 too? That’s so far ahead of the season it’s exciting!
Hop BroAnd what’s more, it’s a reworked version of the previous "Hassaku," and it really uses Kishiwada-grown fruit. I like that it reflects user feedback too.
MugiWhat? So it’s not just about taste, but also about supporting local hassaku. That’s a great story!
Hop BroKishiwada Beer is a brewery run by Hokai Iron Works, and its manufacturing roots are pretty unique. A brewery born from an ironworks has a lot of romance, don’t you think?
