The brewpub [MATSURI BREWING](/app) in Urayasu, Chiba introduced two recently arrived beers from [NOVORU BREWING](/app). The post featured the 8.5% "Togaru" and the 4.5% "Nagori." Both have clearly distinct hop characters, making for a lineup that stands out as in-store options.

"Togaru" is a Double Dryhopped West Coast Double India Pale Ale. It is described as having a sharp impression from the first sip, with dank depth expanding as you keep drinking, and a dry, crisp finish. On the other hand, "Nagori" is a Session Hazy India Pale Ale. It is said to have nuances reminiscent of white grapes and gooseberries, with a light and refreshing mouthfeel.

MATSURI BREWING is a brewpub within walking distance of Urayasu Station and a brewery that champions beers that are "somewhat nostalgic and highly drinkable." The taproom offers 8 draft taps and 50 bottles, and this post also noted that gift boxes are available when taking bottles home. Including proposals aimed at gifts, the brewery seems to be meeting not only everyday drinking needs but also the demand for souvenirs.
