Hop BroKyoto's Kyoto Nude Brewery teamed up with the Musashi-Kosugi beer bar Progress to release "UKIYOKUMO - Floating World Cloud -". The style is Grisette, and it's loaded with herbs!
MugiWhat! What's a Grisette? That sounds like a special move!
Hop BroGood one. Grisette is a classic Belgian style that's light, dry-leaning, and easy to drink. It pairs perfectly with Kyoto Nude's Session Style philosophy.
MugiSession style...? You mean something for drinking at a live show?
Hop BroClose! It means a low-alcohol range designed so you can drink glass after glass. Kyoto Nude centers its beers below 5%, and its strength is that they're easy to pair with food too.
MugiWhoa, so what's special about this UKIYOKUMO?
Hop BroIt layers chamomile, hibiscus, rosehip, and lemon balm. The top notes are chamomile's sweet apple-like aroma and the spicy character of Belgian yeast, and once it hits your mouth, you also get shiso-like freshness and nuances like the leaves used for sakura mochi.
MugiThat's a lot of information! It's like wagashi and herbal tea are having a meeting in my mouth!
Hop BroAnd the concept is "moments of space." It's not a flavor that hits you hard; it's designed so you can relax and drink it. With the gentle pink-to-orange color from hibiscus and the mild acidity, it's a quietly absorbing glass.
MugiAmazing. This is the one announced on August 31, 2025, right? Let's make some "space" today and go drink UKIYOKUMO together!
Kyoto Nude Brewery's latest release is "UKIYOKUMO - Floating World Cloud -", a grissette base layered with herbal ingredients. The announcement was made on August 31, 2025, and the notice released the same day revealed that it was a collaborative brew made to coincide with a TTO event with the Musashi-Kosugi beer bar Progress.
The collaboration's core is "moments of space"
This recipe was designed in response to a request from Progress: "If you're doing it with NUDE, Grisette would be a good fit." They also centered the concept on the idea that "it would be nice if people could drink it during moments of space," aiming not for flashiness alone but for a flavor that lets you ease up and enjoy it without strain.
The flavor is light like herbal tea
According to the official announcement, the top notes are the sweet "apple-like" aroma from chamomile and the spicy, refreshing aroma derived from Belgian yeast. On the palate, the apple-like flavor is joined by a shiso-like freshness and nuances reminiscent of cherry-blossom rice cake leaves. The gentle pink-to-orange hue derived from hibiscus and its mild acidity combine to create what was described overall as a "herbal-tea-like finish that's crisp and easy to drink."
A bottle that resonates with the context of Kyoto and Keihoku
Kyoto Nude Brewery is based in the Keihoku area, about 40 to 50 minutes from central Kyoto City, and brews in a natural environment. As a brand, it has consistently featured a Session Style line centered on low-alcohol beers under 5 percent ABV, aiming for beers that are easy to drink by the glass and pair well with food. This "UKIYOKUMO - Floating World Cloud -" seems like a release that extends that philosophy into a collaboration context, carrying a quiet individuality.
