Sakurazaka Brewery in Naha, Okinawa has introduced a collaboration beer with the Okinawan sriracha-style sauce Haisai Sauce called RED HOT CHILI PIPARTS. The beer is built on tomato acidity and umami, with a spicy finish from Haisai Sauce and pipatsu, or island pepper.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about Sakurazaka Brewery in Naha, Okinawa, and its new collab beer, RED HOT CHILI PIPARTS, made with Haisai Sauce.
MugiWait, a beer with a Haisai Sauce collab!? That already sounds like my mouth is about to get very busy!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a spicy beer built on tomato acidity and umami, then layered with heat from piparts and the sauce.
MugiPiparts? What even is that? Shimakosho piparts sounds like the final boss in a fantasy game!
Hop BroPiparts is a spice loved in Okinawa. Think of it as an Okinawan pepper vibe that adds aroma too, not just sharp heat like chili.
MugiWhoa! But what was that thing you said earlier, after-heat? Is that some kind of special attack?
Hop BroSounds like one, but no. It means a slow-building heat that shows up after you swallow. First comes the fresh tomato note, then the spice catches up.
MugiSo it’s basically a delayed spicy punch? Nice on the first sip, dramatic on the finish. This beer has a whole personality!
Hop BroAnd Sakurazaka Brewery is a microbrewery known for using Okinawan-grown fruit, so working local ingredients into the flavor is really their thing.
MugiAnd they’re planning bottle sales soon, right? Plus shops that want to carry it can ask by DM? I’m ready to clear space in my fridge already!
Hop BroYeah, this spicy-and-tangy glass sounds seriously distinctive. I’d want to try it with tacos or fried chicken right away.
MugiJust imagining it is making me hungry... RED HOT CHILI PIPARTS is the kind of beer I want to drink while yelling, "Whoa, there it is!"
