MugiA sansho lager? Just the name makes my tongue tingle! Does sansho really go with beer!?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it balances aroma and crispness. When the clean drinkability of a lager picks up sansho's fresh green aroma, it doesn't just feel spicy - it gains definition.
MugiDefinition? What does that even mean? A beer has definition!? I'm nodding along in front of the screen, but I only understand half of it!
Hop BroIn other words, it means the finish turns sharp. It doesn't get heavy, and the aroma lingers, so when you pair it with pizza or fried food, the spice character really stands out.
MugiWhat, that's amazing! Stone-baked pizza and sansho lager sounds like a perfect match. And if they have karaage too, there's no escape!
Hop BroAnd it's right by Higashi-Umeda Station, inside Whity Umeda NOMOKA, just a short walk from Umeda Station too. It's a really convenient location, whether you're coming after work or stopping by while shopping.
MugiWait, it's that easy to drop into an underground mall spot!? And they even have an all-you-can-drink option with about 30 beers? It feels like they're basically telling you to stay a while!
Hop BroExactly, they really understand what beer lovers want. They also have Italian snacks and assorted sausages, so you can take your time and enjoy Sansho Lager as the centerpiece.
MugiAnd I love that you can drink a distinctive award-winning lager together with food. A Date in Jotunheim and Hecho En Szechuan sound interesting too - now I want to toast right away!
Hop BroIn the end, it's all about having a drink in Umeda. Open your palate with the aroma of sansho, follow it with pizza, and before you know it you're reaching for the next glass - that's the kind of place it is.
MugiDeal! Tonight I'm taking one more step into the beer abyss with Sansho Lager!
