Three Amaku Uku Beers Arrive at Nomimono-ya: Yukihira 2025, Taigan 2025, and Wanko 2026
Three beers have arrived at the beer pub Nomimono-ya in Busshozan-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, from Amaku Uku, a brewery in Nasu-Shiobara, Tochigi Prefecture. Yukihira 2025, Taigan 2025, and Wanko 2026 are all 750 ml bottles, offering a chance to compare their different personalities side by side.
Hop BroOh, three bottles from Amaku Uku, the brewery in Nasu-Shiobara, Tochigi, have arrived at Nomimono-ya, the beer pub in Takamatsu, Kagawa. Being able to compare Yukihira 2025, Taigan 2025, and Wanko 2026 in 750 ml bottles is great, isn't it?
MugiWhat, all three are bottles? That feels special, enjoying them in bottles instead of on tap. And just from the names, they already sound cute and strong, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroFirst up is Yukihira 2025, a country beer made with lemon verbena and lemongrass from Nasu Kogen HERB's. It sounds a little technical when you hear it was open-fermented for four weeks with a wild yeast strain collected in-house, but basically it means a beer with fragrance that really absorbs the feel of nature and open air.
MugiWait, what is open fermentation!? Do they ferment it without putting a lid on? Is this the kind of thing where the yeast says, 'Today I feel like feeling the wind outside'?
Hop BroYeah, that's more or less the idea. Yukihira 2025 layers a sweet aroma with pineapple-candy-like fruitiness and a lemon-tea character, and because it's unfiltered and unpasteurized, that expression stays intact.
MugiOhhh! It sounds like the aroma of lemon tea would spread the moment you drink it. And if pineapple candy comes along too, that's dessert-like and fun!
Hop BroThe next one, Taigan 2025, is a malt-forward beer made with several kinds of roasted malt. It brings out pear-like notes, a subtle phenolic aroma, marmalade-like fruitiness, and the bitterness of blood orange, so it's pretty layered.
MugiWhat is that, so much information! Phenolic aroma suddenly sounds like a science experiment, but is it a good smell?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's often a spicy or slightly wild aroma. Taigan 2025 is the kind that comes together in balance from the day after opening onward, so it's fun both to drink right away and to come back to later.
MugiWanko 2026 sounds interesting too, and this is definitely a candidate for tonight's drink! Coriander-like freshness plus honeyed apple sounds like something that has to be delicious!
Hop BroAnd it's being served on March 28 from 14:00 to 17:00, March 29 from 14:00 to 18:00, and March 31 from 17:00 to 21:00. One of the best things about bottles is that you can enjoy the changes in temperature, and now I want to go to Nomimono-ya and line up all three for a side-by-side tasting right away.
MugiYeah, I want to drink all three! A soft finish with Yukihira, a slow savor with Taigan, and a light close with Wanko would be perfect.
New arrivals have reached Nomimono-ya, the beer pub in Busshozan-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, from Amaku Uku, a brewery in Nasu-Shiobara, Tochigi Prefecture. The post introduces three 750 ml bottle labels, each one very much in line with the brewery’s signature bottle-conditioned style.
- Yukihira 2025
A country beer made with lemon verbena and lemongrass from Nasu Kogen HERB's. It undergoes four weeks of open fermentation with a wild yeast strain collected in-house, layering a sweet fragrance, pineapple-candy-like fruitiness, and a lemon-tea-like flavor. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, with alcohol content of more than 4% and less than 5%.
- Taigan 2025
A beer made with several kinds of roasted malt, notable for balancing fruitiness and malt character. Pear, a subtle phenolic note, marmalade-like fruitiness, and the bitterness of blood orange come together, and after the bottle is opened and left until the next day or later, the flavor balance becomes even more integrated. This one is also unfiltered and unpasteurized.
- Wanko 2026
A light, refreshing beer that combines the crispness of malt with the fresh aroma of coriander seed, fruitiness from apples with honey, and a soft hop bitterness. It has a drinkability that feels suited to the new season, and it also seems worth enjoying over several days as it changes.
Nomimono-ya is a beer pub where locals can settle in and enjoy a drink at their own pace. Bottled arrivals like these are appealing because, unlike a pint on tap, they can be enjoyed with temperature changes and the shifting character that comes after opening. The serving hours listed are March 28 from 14:00 to 17:00, March 29 from 14:00 to 18:00, and March 31 from 17:00 to 21:00. If you're interested, it's best to check them out early.
