Hop BroA lavish collaboration has just been tapped at Korinbo Jivilba in Katamachi, Kanazawa.
MugiWait, what is it? Shiga Kogen Beer, Oxbow, and Dogfish Head? Just the names alone are enough to fill me up!
Hop BroThe star this time is Kind of God, an Imperial IPA w/ rice & honey.
MugiI get Imperial IPA, but rice & honey suddenly makes it sound like a cooking show and now I'm confused!
Hop BroAdding rice and honey helps lighten the body while sharpening the aroma, so you can aim for a balance of sweetness and crispness.
MugiOhhh! And that citrus note like hassaku sounds more Japanese than grapefruit, so it seems really easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly, it has that hassaku-like citrus character, and the finish is properly dry, so even at 8% it's the kind that goes down smoothly.
MugiEasy to drink at 8%? That's pretty dangerous! I could accidentally end up having two glasses!
Hop BroThat's where Korinbo Jivilba really shines, because it's a great match for Japanese food snacks. Handmade dumplings and house-smoked items are great too, but according to Sunayama, bamboo shoots pair especially well.
MugiWow, IPA with bamboo shoots is so stylish! And with no cover charge and eight draft beers, it's the kind of place that makes you want to bar-hop!
Hop BroIf you're drinking a guest beer in Kanazawa, this is one to keep in mind. Tonight, let's make it the main event from the very first glass.
MugiYeah, I already want to drink it! I want to experience that balance of citrus and dryness right now!

The appeal comes through of enjoying an IPA with a clear hop profile together with seasonal Japanese small plates.
