Taru Taru, a beer pub in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, is featuring Ise Kadoya Brewery’s “Brain-Relaxing Minimal Heaven.”
Classified as a Session IPA, the beer has an alcohol content of 3%. It is designed for occasions when drinkers want distinct hop character without a heavy alcohol profile—such as after work, after exercise, or on a night before an early morning.
The beer pours a lightly hazy light gold. Aromas of grapefruit and passion fruit lead into floral fruit notes reminiscent of white grapes and lychee. On the palate, refreshing carbonation carries a juicy hop flavor, followed by a slight sweetness and a dry finish.
The beer was created as a younger sibling to Ise Kadoya’s “Noutoro,” five years after the original beer’s release. The brewers explored how to enhance both body and hop aroma without increasing the alcohol level, using a yeast strain they had not previously worked with. Esters, organic acids, and glycerol produced by the yeast contribute additional richness and aromatic depth.
For beer fans visiting Takamatsu, the beer offers a lighter way to enjoy expressive hops at Taru Taru, located at 2-5-5 Kawaramachi. Comparing it with “Noutoro” would also highlight how the two beers differ in character.
