Ant'n Bee Roppongi taps Tsugaru Jozo's 'Arigatou! Saison' on July 4
Craft Beer Ant'n Bee Roppongi, located on the basement floor at 5-1-5 Roppongi, tapped Tsugaru Jozo's 'Arigatou! Saison' on July 4. The pub is listing 11 drafts in total, mixing beer and cider.
Hop BroDown in the basement at CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi, they’ve got 11 taps pouring today, and the headliner is Tsugaru Jozo’s 'Arigato! Saison.'
MugiWait, Arigato! Saison already sounds charming, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a saison, with clean bright acidity and a fruity finish, the kind of pint that feels perfect in sticky summer weather.
MugiHold on, what is a saison exactly? That name sounds stylish, but also like I’m being quizzed.
Hop BroHistorically it was brewed to be easy to drink during farm work, so think light but characterful instead of heavy or blunt.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! Crisp, expressive, not exhausting... summer honor student energy.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the list is stacked: COEDO 'Shikkoku' and 'Shiro,' Embolden's 'Broken Record,' Isekadoya's 'Mr. Dank,' even KCBC's watermelon gose, so it’s a tasting playground.
MugiA watermelon gose too? That’s wild range on tap. My taste buds are going to need a seatbelt.
Hop BroExactly, and with OK Adam's 'Wake Me Up!' plus Graft Cider's 'Lost Tropic,' you can reset with cider between beers.
MugiSo I can start with beer, detour into cider, then come back for schwarz or IPA? That is maximum route freedom.
Hop BroOn July 4 they’re open 2 p.m. to midnight, so whether it’s a quick pint or dinner pairing, start with the saison just makes sense.
MugiSold. I want to toast with Arigato and stand there grinning at all 11 taps.
