MugiWhat? Craft beer at a food festival? An event right by the station sounds dangerously easy to visit!
Hop BroAnd Moon Brewery uses homegrown organic Koshihikari rice from Oshibedani, Kobe. They have been brewing since 2023.
MugiRice in beer? What is that? Does rice-based beer taste like sake?
Hop BroIt can share a little of that impression. Rice can make the body feel lighter and the finish cleaner—basically, it is a trick for crisp drinking.
MugiWow! Then their flagship Kintsuki at 5% ABV sounds perfect for a newcomer like me.
Hop BroExactly. Kintsuki has restrained bitterness, a clean finish, and a sake-like character, so it should work with lots of foods.
MugiIf it matches food, I can already hear the stalls calling! But wait—my stomach has no spare compartment!
Hop BroThat is why we call it a pairing strategy meeting! For stronger bitterness and aroma, there is also Kaoritsuki’s firm bitterness, at 7% ABV.
MugiHop aroma is the part where your expert face suddenly appears! So what does hop aroma mean?
Hop BroHops are plants that give beer bitterness and aroma. With Kaoritsuki, look for citrusy or floral impressions—it is a beer to savor by aroma.
MugiKintsuki for rice-driven crispness, Kaoritsuki for hop aroma! I want to compare Kobe craft beers and see what is pouring that day.
Hop BroIf you find a favorite, Moon Brewery also offers online shipping and pickup. On September 27, let’s raise a glass in Seishin!
MugiDeal! I want festival food in one hand and a Kintsuki–Kaoritsuki toast in the other!
