Hop BroA new release is coming from Ryusendo Wakka in Iwaizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture, from the in-house brewery "Ryusendo Viber." The canned beer Harukasumi IPA will be sold in limited quantities starting May 2.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Harukasumi IPA already sounds delicious! It feels light and springlike, but since it's an IPA, is it still going to be properly bitter?
Hop BroExactly. In an IPA, the hop aroma and bitterness are the stars. With the name Harukasumi, it feels like they aimed for something crisp but not too heavy, while still giving it a seasonal touch.
MugiHuh, so Ryusendo Wakka isn't just a shop, right? It feels like there's an unusually large amount going on there...
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's a tourism hub with an attached taproom. It's not just beer, either; they have souvenirs, vegetables, and alcoholic drinks, so it's set up to let you enjoy local flavors all at once.
MugiSeriously? So you can drink beer, check out vegetables, and then drink again! And there are tons of events during Golden Week, right?
Hop BroYep, there are stalls full of local character. There's a strawberry fair, steamed oysters, mitarashi dango, and grilled squid, and a crepe food truck is also scheduled to come on May 6.
MugiWait, steamed oysters and mitarashi dango?! That lineup is way too much for my stomach to keep up with! The beer's side dishes are too powerful!
Hop BroOn top of that, the in-store cafe is also releasing the Wakka Cutlet Sandwich and Tanka beef curry. The bitterness of the IPA and the savory flavor of the meat dishes go together really well.
MugiWow, being able to eat while drinking Harukasumi IPA sounds amazing! When I hear beer made with Ryusendo water, I imagine something clean and gentle!
Hop BroExactly. With the pure taste of the water and local ingredients layered on top, it's definitely worth stopping by while sightseeing. This is the kind of place that makes you want to go and have a drink.
MugiTotally agree! I want to secure a limited can and enjoy the event food too! My throat's already getting restless before May 2 even arrives!
