Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer to present a new IPA at a June 10 tasting event
Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer in Kotoura, Tottori, will unveil a new IPA at a tasting event on June 10 at Azabu Gyoza in Minami-Azabu, Tokyo. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and costs 6,000 yen, with beer-and-food pairing part of the experience.
Hop BroHere’s the topic today: a new IPA tasting event. Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Bakushu from Kotoura, Tottori, is unveiling it at Azabu Gyoza in Minami-Azabu on June 10 at 6:30 p.m.
MugiWhat! Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Bakushu sounds ridiculously powerful. And I can drink it in Tokyo? That already feels like an event.
Hop BroThe name has impact, right? It’s a brewery from Kotoura, Tottori, and it started brewing in 2022 out of an izakaya called Shubo Gin. They’ve got a real sense of purpose.
MugiNo way, a former juice factory brewery? That is absurdly romantic. The building alone sounds like it has tasting notes.
Hop BroAnd the real draw is that you get to test the IPA’s aroma and resin character with gyoza. They’re inviting people to judge the fragrance, lingering bitterness, and food pairing on the spot.
MugiWait, what is resin character!? You can’t just say that like it’s normal; my brain is foaming over here.
Hop BroOkay, simple version: it’s that pine-and-citrus vibe from hops. The bitterness cuts through the oil of the gyoza, so every bite makes you want another sip.
MugiThat sounds amazing! So this is basically IPA-and-gyoza field testing? And a 6:30 p.m. start means this is absolutely a post-work sprint.
Hop BroExactly. The 6,000-yen fee is really about experiencing the full food pairing, not just drinking the beer alone. That says a lot about how they want the beer understood.
MugiAnd they use local ingredients with recipes for that moment, right? If they’re known for milk beer, this new IPA feels like a very confident flex.
Hop BroThat’s the point. A Tokyo event makes it easier for more people to try it, and it already feels like the pint I want in Minami-Azabu. I’m basically ready to reach for the glass now.
MugiI’m done for, this is full I need a drink now mode. June 10 at Azabu Gyoza: you take the IPA, I take the gyoza... no, actually, I’m taking both.
New IPA to be shown at a tasting event
Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer will introduce a new IPA at a tasting event held on June 10 at "Azabu Gyoza" in Minami-Azabu, Tokyo. The event begins at 6:30 p.m., and the participation fee is 6,000 yen. In its post, the brewery framed the event as a chance to experience the beer's aroma, bitterness, and compatibility with food on the spot.
The brewery is based in Kotoura, Tottori, and began brewing in 2022 at the local izakaya "Shubo Gin." According to the brewery's official site, the current brewery site was once a juice factory that operated from the late Meiji era through the early Heisei period. The place has since been brought back into use as a brewing site.
The official site also says the brewery focuses on using local ingredients and making recipes that can only be brewed at that moment. While Tokumanjiri Hinomoto Beer is known for its signature milk beer, this tasting event shows how the brewery continues to present new releases in a food-friendly setting, emphasizing not only the beer itself but also how it works with a meal.
For drinkers in Tokyo, the event offers a chance to get acquainted with a new beer from one of Tottori's small-batch craft breweries.
