The beer pub MOKICHI CRAFTBEER in the south exit area of Fujisawa Station introduced its spring-limited beer Sakura Gose in a February 26 post, along with the comment, "We're connected!"

The recipe details revealed in the post list the malts used as Pilsner and Wheat, and the hop used as Saaz. The style is the traditional German gose, which is generally characterized by a salty note and the gentle tartness derived from lactic acid. This Sakura Gose stands out for using pickled cherry blossom leaves and flowers instead of salt, and the post describes an aroma that evokes sakura mochi even before drinking.

For pairing, the shop suggested "deep-fried mekikari." The idea is to match the salty nuances of gose with the savory richness of fried food, aiming for a combination that works well as a beer to drink with meals. MOKICHI CRAFTBEER is a beer pub with a classic atmosphere and 12 taps on offer at all times. Guests can enjoy a lineup rooted in Kumazawa Brewery from the Shonan area, along with hand-stretched New York-style pizza and grilled dishes.

If you're looking for a beer that brings a sense of spring, this Sakura Gose, which puts cherry blossom-derived saltiness front and center, is worth trying both on its own and as part of a food pairing. Anyone in Fujisawa who wants to drink a seasonal craft beer should check the tap lineup before visiting.
