Nutori Brewing adds new red ale 'Akahana' after collaboration beer sells out
Nutori Brewing in Kawaguchi, Saitama, has moved a new red ale, 'Akahana,' onto tap after the collaboration beer 'Nutoshiro-rie' sold out. At the attached beer hall, the brewery serves house beer alongside nourishing dishes in a laid-back neighborhood setting.
Hop BroHere’s a good one today: Nutori Brewing’s new pour. Their collab 'Nutoshirorier' sold out, and now the red ale 'Akahana' is on tap.
MugiWait, sold out to instant swap? And they’re showing soccer in the shop too? That is a lot happening!
Hop BroThat’s the charm, right? Reading the room on tap like that feels very Nutori Brewing; they’re nimble and local in the best way.
MugiOoh! And it’s a brewery in a neighborhood? That sounds like some kind of secret base.
Hop BroPretty much. Near Kawaguchi Station’s west side, they’ve been brewing since February 2021 in a 50-year-old apartment conversion.
MugiNo way! And with Beer Shokudo Nutori doing comfort food pairing, they’re going after my stomach too.
Hop BroExactly. With shumai and seasonal small plates, 'Akahana' comes in as a red ale with malt-driven red color.
MugiHold on, what does that even mean? You lost me at malt-driven and now my brain has turned into foam.
Hop BroIt just means the grain brings toastiness and color, so you get a soft easy sip with a gentle roasted note, perfect for a slow afternoon.
MugiOhh, so it’s not all fireworks, it’s a red ale for meals. Watching soccer with that sounds dangerously nice.
Hop BroTalking about it is doing damage; I want Akahana now. Fresh beer in Kawaguchi with that relaxed mood is hard to resist.
MugiThat settles it. I want a pint of Akahana right now, plus shumai, and I’m claiming the whole afternoon.
