Kokage Sakaba taps Y Market's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA"; Uchu Brewing stock planned from the 15th
At Kokage Sakaba, a beer pub a 3-minute walk from Jiyugaoka Station, Y Market's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA" is being served for its April 12 business. The beer layers the sweetness of blood orange and its citrus aroma over IPA-like bitterness, and Uchu Brewing arrivals are also planned for next week, from the 15th to the 16th.
Hop BroAt Kokage Sakaba in Jiyugaoka, Minamichita Blood Orange IPA is on today. It's a Y Market beer, and people are talking about its balance of fruitiness and IPA-like bitterness.
MugiWhoa! A blood orange IPA sounds delicious just from the name! Is it like orange juice, or is it properly bitter?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The sweetness comes forward, but it still keeps a clear IPA character. The aroma of ripe citrus drifts up, so it doesn't end as just a sweet beer.
MugiWhat is that! A beer with character sounds like you're suddenly talking about art. Can you actually see a beer's outline when you drink it?
Hop BroNot see it, but you can feel the flow of the flavor clearly. First comes the blood orange sweetness, then the hop bitterness follows, a two-stage flavor experience.
MugiHuh, so it seems like it would hit both citrus lovers and bitterness fans! And being just a 3-minute walk from Jiyugaoka Station makes it a station-side beer pub, which is strong too.
Hop BroExactly. Plus it's open from 5:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 1:00 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and the eve of holidays, so it's perfect for days when you want a relaxed drink at night.
MugiWait, open that late? Then I might be able to go before my next day off. And next week there's a Uchu Brewing arrival planned too? That's a lot of information!
Hop BroThat's something to watch for too. They haven't announced the specific beer yet, but when there's a notice like that, it makes following the next tap announcement even more fun.
MugiYeah, with Minamichita Blood Orange IPA now and Uchu Brewing next... this calls for a tasting plan!
Hop BroExactly. First, let's toast with this blood orange beer, and then be ready for the next arrival. Tonight, I feel like I'll be saying one drink isn't enough.
