THE ALL DAY features South Aizu Mountain Brewing’s anniversary collab RIDE on SAN
THE ALL DAY, a beer pub in Higashi-Mukojima, Sumida, Tokyo, introduced its anniversary collaboration beer with South Aizu Mountain Brewing: RIDE on SAN. The 4.5% sanpin-cha golden ale is based on the brewery’s near-house favorite, HEY YA.
Hop BroHere’s a good one today: a third-anniversary collab has shown up at THE ALL DAY in Higashi-Mukojima. It’s called 'RIDE on SAN,' brewed with Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing, and the name already sounds like it’s moving.
MugiWait, RIDE on SAN? What is that! It sounds like a mountain doing extreme sports, and now I’m curious already!
Hop BroThis one is a sanpin tea golden ale at 4.5% ABV. It’s built on Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing’s 'HEY YA,' so it’s made to feel light and easy from the start.
MugiWhoa, golden ale sounds fancy, but what does that actually mean? And sanpin tea in beer? My brain is slipping on the first step here!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s an approachable pale ale. You get soft malt, a clean edge from the rice-based build, and tea aromatics layered in without making it feel heavy.
MugiHold on, rice-based build? That suddenly got very brewer-coded. Are we drifting toward sake territory now, or are my pint and my masu glass just arguing?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: you get jasmine and marmalade on the nose, but it doesn’t turn into sake. The mouthfeel stays light, the body has a little lift, bitterness stays low, and the finish is dry and clean.
MugiThat is a wild aroma lineup! Sanpin tea, orange-like citrus, even a black-tea kind of nuance? Every sip sounds like it changes costumes!
Hop BroAnd that’s why it fits an easygoing beer pub like THE ALL DAY so well. In the Hikifune area, this feels like the kind of guest beer you can start with and keep drinking at any hour.
MugiThen it’s settled, first round in Hikifune has to be this one! I want to celebrate the anniversary and I would also like my glass to be generously ambitious.
Hop BroFair request, because this is making me want a pint right now too. One toast with 'RIDE on SAN' and suddenly Minamiaizu, Okinawa, and East Tokyo are all meeting in the same glass.
Anniversary collaboration on tap
THE ALL DAY, a beer pub in Higashi-Mukojima, Sumida, Tokyo, highlighted a collaboration beer with South Aizu Mountain Brewing: RIDE on SAN. Brewed to celebrate THE ALL DAY’s third anniversary, the beer is a sanpin-cha golden ale at 4.5% ABV.
Built on HEY YA
The beer is based on HEY YA, described as a near-standard beer from South Aizu Mountain Brewing. Using rice grown in Minami-Aizu as the foundation, the recipe layers Okinawan sanpin-cha on top, adding jasmine-like aromatics, citrus notes reminiscent of orange, and a tea-like impression.
Designed to be easy to drink
The tasting notes point to bright jasmine and marmalade on the nose, a light mouthfeel with a fuller body, and restrained bitterness with a dry finish. It is positioned as a beer that can be enjoyed from the first pour through late in the day, which fits the relaxed craft-beer focus of THE ALL DAY.
A fitting guest beer for a craft-beer pub
Known as a craft-beer pub in the Hikifune area, THE ALL DAY often uses guest beers to add new layers to its lineup and showcase the brewing story behind each release. RIDE on SAN combines the crispness associated with South Aizu Mountain Brewing and the unique aroma of sanpin-cha, making it a timely beer for the venue’s anniversary lineup.
