Good Hops from Iwate Arrives at Elhori in Kameari: Four Beers Made with Japanese-Grown Hops
The beer pub "Domestic Craft Beer and Tacos Elhori" in Kameari, Katsushika Ward, Tokyo has received beer from "Good Hops" in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture. The post introduces four beers, from a single-hop lager to an IPA, showcasing the character of Japanese-grown hops.
Hop BroAt Elhori in Kameari, four beers from Good Hops in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture have arrived. What's more, they range from a single-hop lager to an IPA, so it feels like a field trip to study the personalities of Japanese-grown hops, and that's amazing.
MugiWhoa! Beer can be a field trip!? And with four kinds lined up, it's already fun before you even choose one!
Hop BroFirst on the left is Zatsu Zatsu. It's a single-hop lager made only with Zaatz from Tono, and when you focus on one hop, the aroma's outline becomes really easy to see.
MugiSingle-hop, what is that, a hop's solo journey!? But going all in with just one variety makes it even more intriguing!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a brew that brings out the character of one hop up front. That's why Zatsu Zatsu has a very clear aroma profile, making it easy for the drinker to say, 'Ah, this is Zaatz.'
MugiOhhh! Then the next one, Yuki Shita no Ibuki, already sounds romantic from the name alone!
Hop BroThat's right, Yuki Shita no Ibuki is a hoppy Weizen. It's brewed only with hops from Tono, and it layers the softness of a Weizen with the green and floral character of hops.
MugiWhen you say hoppy Weizen, it feels like the malt has fallen in love with the hops! Soft yet fragrant sounds like the kind of beer that would keep your brain busy the moment you drink it!
Hop BroAnd Hazy Good #1 is a hazy pale ale, while Sorachi Ace Respect is an IPA built around Sorachi Ace and blended with domestic hops. The former is soft and juicy, while the latter lets you enjoy a balance of aroma and bitterness.
MugiWow, even though it's the same brewery, the range is huge! If you drink these with tacos at Elhori, you'd never stop comparing them!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to snack on tacos while taking in the different expressions of Japanese-grown hops is one of Elhori's strengths. This is a lineup that makes you want to raise a glass in Kameari right now.
MugiYeah, my head is completely in beer mode now! I want to compare Japanese-grown hops while enjoying tacos too!
