Yatsugatake Brewery to Serve Its First 102 Karaage at the Keyaki Spring Beer Fest
Yatsugatake Brewery will set up a booth at the Keyaki Spring Beer Fest held at Saitama Super Arena and will offer its event debut, "102 Karaage." The event runs from May 13 to 17, and the brewery will energize the venue with beer and fried foods at the center of its lineup.
Hop BroMugi-chan, this time's topic is Yatsugatake Brewery. They'll be exhibiting at the "Keyaki Spring Beer Fest" at Saitama Super Arena, and they're bringing an event-first newcomer.
MugiReally? What are they serving? Just hearing event debut already makes me hungry!
Hop BroThe star is 102 Karaage. The fact that they're presenting it with beer in mind shows they really understand the atmosphere of the venue.
MugiWhat is that! Once a number like 102 is attached, it suddenly feels scientific, but is karaage really something you analyze that much?
Hop BroIt's not about analysis so much as making something that goes well with fried food. Beer has bitterness and toasty notes, so it's easy for it to stand up to the fat and umami of karaage.
MugiOhhh! But what kind of beer is Yatsugatake Brewery especially known for? Hearing lager-centered makes it feel very classic!
Hop BroExactly. They're known for the Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown series, and the brewery is at Kiyosato Highlands at 1,230 meters above sea level, using pristine natural water from the southern foot of Mount Yatsugatake.
Mugi1,230 meters above sea level! The air sounds delicious too. And pristine natural water? That alone makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroAnother point is that since its founding in 1997, it has continued using the decoction method to bring out the character of the malt. Mugi-chan, that's a bit of specialized terminology, but in short it's a brewing technique that deepens the malt's richness.
MugiI see, so it concentrates the malt's umami! Then it won't lose to karaage, and honestly, eating them together sounds like a win.
Hop BroThe event runs from May 13 to 17. It starts at 4:00 p.m. on the first day, from 11:00 a.m. on the following days, and ends at 8:00 p.m. on the final day. At this point, the only thing to do is walk around the venue with beer and fried food in hand.
MugiYeah, this is totally the kind of thing that makes you want to drink from noon! If we sip Touchdown while snacking on 102 Karaage, we might never be able to go home!
Exhibiting at the Keyaki Spring Beer Fest
Yatsugatake Brewery (Hokuto, Yamanashi) announced on Instagram that it will be exhibiting at the "Keyaki Spring Beer Fest." The venue is Saitama Super Arena, and the event runs from May 13 to 17. The first day is scheduled from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; the following days run from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and the final day ends at 8:00 p.m.
What stands out in this post is the offering of "102 Karaage," making its Keyaki debut. The post introduces it as a dish to enjoy alongside beer, highlighting a pairing that feels uniquely suited to the event. Yatsugatake Brewery will make its presence felt not only through beer, but also through its food offerings.
Yatsugatake Brewery is a brewery located in Kiyosato Highlands at an elevation of 1,230 meters, and it has continued making beer using the pristine natural water from the southern foothills of the Yatsugatake Mountains. Since its founding in 1997, it has used the traditional decoction method to bring out the character of the malt, and it develops the "Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown" series centered on lagers.
This exhibition also looks set to offer a chance to experience that brewing philosophy at the venue. Being able to enjoy a standard pint while pairing it with event-limited karaage is likely to be a highlight that beer fans will not want to miss.
