Nomimonoya in Takamatsu adds three Tsugaru Brewing beers
Nomimonoya, a beer pub in the Buzan area of Takamatsu, Kagawa, has received three new beers from Tsugaru Brewing: "Arigato! Saison," "Arigato! Lager," and "Arigato! IPA." Each beer uses locally sourced rice and shows a different take on its style.
Hop BroNomimono-ya in Takamatsu just got three new Tsugaru beers from Tsugaru Brewing, and getting the whole Arigato! lineup at once is kind of a big deal.
MugiWait, the name is already adorable! The Arigato! series is Saison, Lager, and IPA all together?
Hop BroExactly, it's a three-style lineup, and even though all three use local rice, each one pushes a totally different flavor direction.
MugiNo way! But what does yeast expression even mean? Are the yeast cells making eye contact with me now?!
Hop BroIf they were, I'd be worried. Saison yeast character just means the aroma and mouthfeel it creates, and Arigato! Saison sounds crisp with grainy depth on a pilsner malt and wheat base.
MugiOkay, that helps! So what about the Hanabukiyuki rice lager? The name alone feels like an after-work pour.
Hop BroArigato! Lager is built with a touch of sweetness, but not in a heavy way, so that Aomori-grown Hanabukiyuki rice should add a soft local nuance and keep it easy to keep drinking.
MugiAnd the IPA uses five hops? That's basically a full hop festival! Nelson Sauvin and Idaho 7 already sound like a supergroup.
Hop BroPretty much. Arigato! IPA is Tsugaru Brewing's first IPA, and with Warrior, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Strata, it's clearly aiming for firm bitterness and big aroma.
MugiSo the Saison is crisp, the Lager is gentle, and the IPA punches back. That's basically a tasting flight syllabus.
Hop BroAnd Nomimono-ya even posted June serving dates for June 7, 9, 11, 13, and 18, which makes me want to line up my visit and knock out all three.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. Straight to Nomimono-ya for a Lager warm-up, a Saison detour, and an IPA finale with applause.
New arrival highlights
Nomimonoya, a beer pub in Buzan-cho, Takamatsu, Kagawa, has added three new beers from Tsugaru Brewing. The lineup features "Arigato! Saison," "Arigato! Lager," and "Arigato! IPA," all built around local rice and each tuned to a different beer style.
The lineup
- Arigato! Saison
A saison that highlights yeast character. Rice from Tsugaru City in Aomori adds a clean finish and a deeper grain profile. The recipe also uses pilsner malt, wheat, and the hops Warrior, Hallertau Mittlefruh, and Izabella.
- Arigato! Lager
A lager made with Aomori-grown Hanafubuki rice, designed to keep a gentle sweetness while staying easy to drink. It is the kind of beer that fits well after work, with a light pilsner base and a clear local identity.
- Arigato! IPA
An IPA built with a five-hop blend of Warrior, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Strata. As Tsugaru Brewing’s first IPA, it leans into bold bitterness while still emphasizing aromatic hop character.
Nomimonoya is the kind of beer pub where drinkers can slow down and compare styles side by side. This release is especially appealing because it brings together a saison, a lager, and an IPA in one place, making it easy to taste how rice choice and hop selection shape each beer.
The post also lists serving windows for June 7, 9, 11, 13, and 18. If the timing works, this looks like a good chance to catch the beers soon after arrival.
