Ichimaru Yon Brewery unveils new Wheat Wine "OWW"
Ichimaru Yon Brewery in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, has unveiled a new Wheat Wine-style beer, "OWW." It is designed at ABV 10.0% and IBU 45, and is described as a rich, full-bodied beer made with plenty of wheat malt. The product page lists it at 1,200 yen.
Hop BroA new release, OWW, has come from Ichimaru Yon Brewery in Gifu Prefecture's Toki City. And it's a Wheat Wine, which makes it a pretty intriguing beer, doesn't it?
MugiWhoa, even the name OWW sounds strong! Wheat Wine? Is it wine or beer?
Hop BroIt's beer, but because it's brewed with a really dense wort, it has that "rich enough to be wine-like" feel. This time it's a high-ABV brew at 10.0%, so it should have serious drinking weight.
Mugi10%? I'd basically fall asleep halfway through a conversation! And what's IBU45 supposed to mean, a code?
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness measure, and the higher the number, the more strongly you feel the hop bitterness. OWW uses wheat malt to bring out softness while giving it a firm bitterness to define the edges, which is the interesting part.
MugiI see! So it's not just sweet, it actually has a solid core. And with lots of wheat malt, it probably feels nice and plush too!
Hop BroExactly. The appeal of Wheat Wine is that balance between the softness from wheat and the high alcohol content. Ichimaru Yon Brewery is based in Toki City, and its emphasis on number-driven brewing is another part of its character.
MugiJust being from Toki City makes me want to support it! Even the brand name 104 feels like a number that shows local pride.
Hop BroOn top of that, the product page lists it at 1,200 yen, so it feels like a special-occasion beer with presence. If it's rich and full-bodied but finishes with bitterness, its intent is really clear.
MugiWow, now I want to drink it right away! That rich and full-bodied kind of beer sounds perfect for a cold night!
Hop BroThen tonight, let's taste Toki City's craftsmanship in a glass with OWW. This is the kind of beer you want to sip slowly, so let's take our time with it together.
MugiAgreed! First let's check the aroma, and then finish it off crisply with the bitterness! Tonight's beer candidate is definitely OWW!
New Release "OWW"
A new beer called OWW has arrived from Ichimaru Yon Brewery in Toki, Gifu Prefecture. On the product page, the style is listed as Wheat Wine, the alcohol content as 10.0%, and the IBU as 45. It is introduced as a high-alcohol beer with a rich, full-bodied flavor that makes heavy use of wheat malt.
Ichimaru Yon Brewery is a craft beer brand based in Toki City. The brand name "104" was inspired by the sound of Toki, the brewery head's roots. Grounded in an affection for the local area, the brewery emphasizes a brewing approach that pays close attention to every detail, from ingredients and quantities to temperature, water quality, and pressure.
OWW is a beer that clearly reflects that philosophy. Wheat Wine is a style that naturally combines the softness of wheat with a high alcohol content, and OWW adds a firm bitterness on top of that, giving it a distinct shape rather than making it just a sweet strong beer. The price on the product page is 1,200 yen. For anyone looking for a beer with real heft, it should be a standout option.
