Hop BroThe latest from Beer Island-omotecho- in Okayama’s Omotecho is hot right now. The third Fagiano support beer has been tapped!
MugiWait, a soccer support beer!? And it’s called Ore! Ore! J Wonder? That’s way too hype!
Hop BroThis one is a Weizen with the aroma of Okayama-grown mandarin oranges, and it’s designed as a low-bitterness white beer. Perfect before or after a match!
MugiOhh! But what exactly is a Weizen? I’m curious about the true identity of white beer!
Hop BroIt uses wheat malt, and the key is the fruity ester aroma from the yeast. It also goes really well with the mandarin orange fragrance.
MugiEster? That suddenly sounds like chemistry class! So it means the banana-like aroma compound!?
Hop BroExactly, that’s it! And on top of that, they’ve got a 13-beer draft lineup that spans from Hansharo Beer and Kurashiki Brewing to classic brands.
MugiThat’s amazing, the roster is stacked! And with both dine-in and takeaway available, you can have one before the match and another on the way home!
Hop BroPlus, the illustrations are by @zero_16_14_16 and the brewing is by @mimabeer, so it’s got that all-Okayama team finish and real local pride.
MugiThat settles it! Today we’re starting a tasting mission in Omotecho. I want to toast while cheering for Fagiano!
In a post published by Beer Island-omotecho- on March 12, the completion of the third beer in the Fagiano support series “Ore! Ore! J Wonder” was announced. As with previous releases, the illustration was handled by `@zero_16_14_16` and the brewing by `@mimabeer`, making it a glass finished by an all-Okayama team.
The new beer is a Weizen. The post describes it as “a white beer with a subtle aroma of Okayama-grown mandarin oranges and low bitterness,” suggesting it is designed to pair well with time before or after watching soccer. True to its beer-pub nature, it is not only available for in-house drinking but also clearly marked as available for takeaway.
The draft lineup that day is also substantial, offering a mix of craft and classic labels.
- Peach White IPA / Hansharo Beer
- Wajishin / Oyobe Beer
- Pencil Beer HB / Maruya Brewery
- Yamaso Hop / Minami Shinshu Beer
- Kurashiki Hazy IPA / Kurashiki Brewing
- Daidai Ale / Hitachino Nest Beer
- Daydream / SVB
- Maruef / Asahi Beer
- Yebisu Beer / Sapporo Beer
- Premium Malts / Suntory Beer
- Ichiban Shibori Kuro Nama / Kirin Beer
- Heartland Nama / Kirin Beer
- All-Free Nama / Suntory
Located inside Omotecho Shopping Street, the pub’s strength is how easy it is to drop in for a quick drink or settle in for a serious tasting session. It is worth watching as a craft beer hub in Okayama, where a locally rooted limited beer and guest taps from around Japan can be followed at the same time.
