Nori's Beer Introduces Its Booth at Keio Kaku's "Gohobi Roman Expo TOKYO" World Snack-Tasting Club
Nori's Beer from Ichikawamisato Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, appeared in a vendor spotlight for the food area "World Snack-Tasting Club" at the large event "Gohobi Roman Expo TOKYO" held at Keio Kaku. It is worth watching how the brewery's character, which makes the most of local ingredients, overlaps with the event's food-strolling concept.
Hop BroSo they are setting up a booth at Keio Kaku in Yamanashi this time. Nori's Beer is showing up in the food area "World Snack-Tasting Club" at "Gohobi Roman Expo TOKYO," and for people who love food hopping, that's basically an event in itself.
MugiWait, even the name "Snack-Tasting Club" sounds like a win. Does that mean you can move around and enjoy not just beer, but also snacks from place to place?
Hop BroExactly. The venue is a food-strolling event where retro, craft, zines, and more intersect. A brewery like Nori's Beer, with a very clear flavor profile, is a great match.
MugiA clear profile sounds like something from an art class! What do you mean by a beer's "flavor profile"?
Hop BroGood question. For example, it's the kind of beer where the hop aroma stands out, or the bitterness and fruitiness are easy to distinguish. It means the beer isn't vague; it's easy to tell what flavor direction it aims for.
MugiI see, it's the kind where you take one sip and immediately go, 'Oh, here it comes!' So something like "Pacific Coast IPA" sounds like it would be very hop-forward?
Hop BroExactly. IPA is all about the hops, and it tends to bring out strong bitterness and aroma. Just from the name, Nori's Beer's "Pacific Coast IPA" makes you picture sea breeze and hops, doesn't it?
MugiWow. Then "Hazy YUZU IPA" must be one of those cloudy styles with a soft yuzu aroma, right? It sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroThat's right. Hazy styles have a softer, juicier mouthfeel, and the fruitiness comes forward more easily. Add yuzu to that, and the design really pulls you in through the aroma.
MugiAnd they even have "Nanbu CHA Ale" too, which is almost unfair! Teas-infused beer feels like it would instantly expand the range of snacks to pair with it, and I'm excited already!
Hop BroExactly. Nori's Beer's distinctive feature is making the most of Yamanashi's local ingredients. The brewery is in Takata, Ichikawamisato Town, and the Tap Room is in Kasaai, Showa Town, so if something catches your eye at the event, it's fun to check it again in Yamanashi.
MugiFinding it at the event and then following up at the shop later sounds great. I'm already in the mood to go out for a drink today, and I want to have a beer while snack-tasting my way around!
