Tokyo ∞ Kei to Release Omori Sanno Brewery's New Beer "Hitohiki" on April 11
The beer pub Tokyo ∞ Kei in Omori Sanno, Tokyo, will release Omori Sanno Brewery's new beer "Hitohiki" on April 11. Following the 150th anniversary of Omori Station and the opening commemorative beer for Oimachi Tracks, the Belgian saison-based design leaves a strong impression.
Hop BroTokyo ∞ Kei has brought a new release, Hitohiki, scheduled for April 11. It's from Omori Sanno Brewery, and the atmosphere tied to the city's milestones is already great.
MugiWhoa, a commemorative city beer can be that romantic!? Omori Station's 150th anniversary, the opening commemoration of Oimachi Tracks, it's like everything is piled onto one event and I'm thrilled!
Hop BroExactly, and the contents are solid too. The base is Belgian saison, with coriander and lemon peel added, and then Nelson Sauvin layered on top.
MugiWhat? Nelson Sauvin sounds like a final boss out of nowhere, but what kind of aroma does it actually make!?
Hop BroGood question. Nelson Sauvin tends to bring out white-wine-like and white-grape notes, and it connects nicely with wine-like aromas and yeast-derived nuances.
MugiHuh! So it's not just a refreshing style, but it even has white grape aroma? That sounds like the kind of thing that makes you a little smarter the moment you drink it!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is the appearance too; it's apparently a little cloudy and white. It has bitterness, but it's designed not to linger, and that cleanly fading bitterness is what makes this beer feel so good.
MugiWait, it's bitter but doesn't linger!? So that means it doesn't leave you tired of drinking? That's incredibly helpful after work!
Hop BroExactly. It's not made to make you stop, but to help you start moving again, a beer that creates time for a breath between moments.
MugiI like that. If you drink it in the middle of a BBQ or between conversations, it sounds like a glass that puts you back in tune... that feels kind of moving.
Hop BroAnd drinking it at Tokyo ∞ Kei makes it even better. In the atmosphere of Sanno in Ota Ward, being able to taste a glass connected to the city in your pint is the best part.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just hearing this makes me want to drink it! Let's go toast at Tokyo ∞ Kei on April 11, Hop-nii!
A New Release Timed to a City Milestone
An Instagram post from Tokyo ∞ Kei announced the new beer "Hitohiki," scheduled for release on April 11. The post refers to the Omori Station 150th anniversary beer series and the commemorative beer for the opening of Oimachi Tracks, introducing it as an important bottle that sits in the “in-between” between them.
What Kind of Beer Is It?
"Hitohiki" is a recipe based on Belgian saison, with coriander and lemon peel added. On top of that, Nelson Sauvin is layered in, giving it aromas reminiscent of white wine, along with white grape and yeast-derived nuances. It has a slightly cloudy white appearance, and although it has bitterness, it is designed not to linger.
The Role of a Single Sip
From the post text, it comes across that this beer is thought of not as something for "stopping," but as something that creates a pause for starting to move again. A bottle to drink while taking a deep breath after work, in the middle of a BBQ, or between conversations. Rather than pushing with flashiness, it is a craft beer for settling the mind.
