MugiWhat? Beer with oysters already sounds like a feast from the sea!
Hop BroIt is their flagship beer, imagined for an 8 p.m. dinner, brewed with Akkeshi oyster shells and smoked malt.
MugiThey brew it with oyster shells? What is that—are oysters shaking shell maracas inside the beer?
Hop BroNo concert, sadly. The shells add subtle sweetness and salinity, creating a pairing-focused design that lifts oyster flavors.
MugiWow! But “smoked malt” sounds technical—my brain has issued a smoke alarm warning.
Hop BroSimply put, malt is smoked to give it aroma. That brings grain-like toastiness and a gently smoky richness to the beer.
MugiSo it is savory enough for oysters, yet still has a crisp lager finish? That is unfairly tempting!
Hop BroIt should pair with raw or sautéed oysters, plus salty and toasted dishes. At COCONO SUSUKINO basement level one, you can taste the Akkeshi sea.
MugiAll right—oyster dishes in Susukino, then ready to toast! Hop Bro, pour mine in the biggest glass!
A Flagship Lager Inspired by Akkeshi Oysters
Susukino Yell STAND, located in the basement of COCONO SUSUKINO in central Sapporo, is now offering AKKESHI OYSTER LAGER from Huitrière, a craft beer brand based in Akkeshi, Hokkaido.
The name Huitrière comes from the French word for a place where oysters are cultivated. The brand was created in Akkeshi, a town known for its oyster culture, with a focus on beers that accompany meaningful moments and meals.
AKKESHI OYSTER LAGER is the brand’s flagship beer, built around the image of an evening dinner at 8 p.m. Smoked malt and oyster shells from Akkeshi are used in the brewing process, creating a beer with a smoky, full-bodied character. Alongside its grain-like roasted aroma, the beer offers the clean finish and refreshing drinkability associated with a lager.
The oyster shells contribute to a gentle balance of sweetness and salinity, helping bring out the flavor of oysters. Its concept is simple: a beer made in the oyster-growing region, for oysters. It should pair naturally with raw or sautéed oysters, as well as savory dishes and other food with roasted or salty notes.
As a beer pub specializing in craft beer from across Hokkaido, Susukino Yell STAND is a convenient place to explore the region’s brewing scene. For visitors looking to enjoy the character of Akkeshi in the heart of Susukino, AKKESHI OYSTER LAGER offers a distinctive place to start.
