Yose in Yoyogi to host 'Ise, Summer Triangle' and preview Himitsu Beer's Fruit Scandal
Yose, a beer pub in Yoyogi, will host the event 'Ise, Summer Triangle @ Yose' on July 4. The lineup includes the first pour of Himitsu Beer’s collaboration ale 'Fruit Scandal' alongside several other beers.
Hop BroYoyogi is basically turning into Ise for a day, because Ise, Summer Love Triangle is happening at Yose beer pub on July 4.
MugiWait, summer love triangle is the event title? For a beer event? That sounds like a daytime drama with foam.
Hop BroTotally peaceful, though. It's a full Ise day with craft beer, sake, and food, running from noon to 11 p.m.
MugiOoh! But the one I need to know about is Fruit Scandal. I want to order it on name alone.
Hop BroThat's the headliner: a new beer from Himitsu Beer, a collaboration brew made with homegrown Koshihikari rice and sake lees from Motosaka Shuzo.
MugiHold on, sake lees and rice? That sounds less like beer and more like somebody raided a kitchen. What does that even do?
Hop BroIn brewer terms, they're adjuncts, but in normal-person language they add depth of aroma and flavor. The lees can bring soft fermented sweetness, and the rice can round things out.
MugiWhat is this, flavor gossip? Now I really want it. And Himitsu Beer has names like Rakko IPA and Doron too? That's unfairly fun.
Hop BroExactly, and that's the beauty of it: Tatchu, Rakko IPA, Doron, and Ise-Shima Pearl Lager let you compare IPA to lager in one sitting.
MugiThat many? My flight-ordering brain just woke up, but if I drink them in the wrong order, is my tongue going to get lost?
Hop BroNot if you start lighter and build up. Plus there’s KINO and KAYA from Motosaka Shuzo, and a three-skewer set, so I'm already planning an Ise full-course crawl.
MugiThen it's settled. Let's start with that early pour at Yose in Yoyogi and happily get caught up in this scandal.
