Pigalle Tokyo in Sangenjaya has received three new releases from the Nasushiobara, Tochigi brewery Amakuuku. The post notes that, in addition to listing them in the online shop, the store is also offering them by the glass.

The lineup includes three beers: "Snowflake," made with lemon verbena and lemongrass; "Taigan," a brown beer that balances fruitiness and malt character with several kinds of roasted malt; and "Wanko," a light beer carefully brewed in the depths of winter. Their aroma profiles, body, and brewing nuances all differ, making this a lineup where each beer's personality comes through clearly in a side-by-side tasting.

Pigalle Tokyo is a beer pub where you can both drink craft beer and buy it. Its appeal is that it offers both the pleasure of enjoying a drink one glass at a time in the shop and taking home a bottle you like. This latest arrival plays well to the store's strengths, and is a lineup that's easy to enjoy either as an early-spring drink or as a bottle for home drinking.

At this time of year, when spring is just starting to show itself, it's nice to be able to try a fragrant saison, a malt-forward brown beer, and a lightly built beer in sequence. If you want to follow Amakuuku's new releases in Sangenjaya, you'll want to check both Pigalle Tokyo's store and online shop.
