Yorocco Beer Releases SANITY 5th Anniversary Can, Fivehigh Pilsner
Kamakura-based Yorocco Beer has introduced `Fivehigh Pilsner`, a collaboration can brewed for SANITY's 5th anniversary in Sangenjaya. German pilsner malt, step mashing, and European hops shape a crisp, balanced lager.
Hop BroI want to talk about Fivehigh Pilsner today. Yorocco Beer's Iwase Brewery in Kamakura released it as a collab can to celebrate SANITY's fifth anniversary in Sangenjaya.
MugiWait, a fifth-anniversary collab can? That is such a fun way to throw a birthday party for a beer spot!
Hop BroAnd the style is a classic pilsner. It uses only German pilsner malt, which gives it that crisp, gentle drinkability.
MugiWhoa, but a crisp finish means what exactly? Is this beer supposed to crunch like potato chips?
Hop BroNo crunch at all. It means a clean snap at the end. Nothing heavy sticks around, so you want another sip right away.
MugiOkay, then what is step mashing? That sounds less like brewing and more like a wrestling move!
Hop BroIt is basically mashing at changing temperatures. That helps pull different character from the malt, and then lagering smooths everything into shape.
MugiAnd now you dropped lagering too... this wall of beer jargon has my brain foaming over, so please translate!
Hop BroIn plain terms, it is slow cold conditioning that gives the beer its sharp finish and balance. Styrian Goldings adds bitterness, while Triskel and Strisselspalt bring the aroma.
MugiThat sounds like a keep-drinking pilsner. Add Taichi Furukawa on the label and the SANITY team joining brew day, and now I seriously want one at the Shibuya anniversary fest!
Kamakura's Yorocco Beer has released `Fivehigh Pilsner`, a collaboration brewed to mark the 5th anniversary of SANITY in Sangenjaya, Tokyo. The label artwork was created by Taichi Furukawa.
The beer follows a classic pilsner approach: only German pilsner malt is used, with step mashing and lagering helping bring out malt character and a crisp finish. For hopping, the brewery used Slovenian Styrian Goldings for bitterness, then Triskel and Strisselspalt from France for aroma.
According to Yorocco Beer, the brew was developed through months of discussion, and SANITY's team plus Furukawa visited the brewery on brew day. The partnership also reflects a longer relationship, with SANITY carrying Yorocco Beer since it opened five years ago.
The release is positioned as a well-balanced pilsner with a clean, gentle profile, and it will also be served at SANITY's 5th anniversary festival in Shibuya next week.
