MugiWait, is a white-beer-style pour really that different? Just the name sounds soft and gentle, so now I’m curious!
Hop BroExactly. The star this time is Iwate Kura Beer / Weizen. It’s a German-style brew made with wheat malt, so the mouthfeel is soft and it goes down smoothly.
MugiSo if it uses wheat malt, does that mean it smells kind of like bread? Wow, beer giving off breakfast vibes is way too interesting!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part of Weizen. It can show banana-like aromas and even a light clove note. The yeast-driven character tends to stand out, so taking your time with the aroma is the key.
MugiClove suddenly showing up like, ‘hello, I’m sophisticated,’ is so stylish. I feel like I’d get lost in the aroma before even tasting it!
Hop BroBut Ninkasi makes it easy to try. With 10 taps, plenty of glass sizes, and no cover charge, it’s a good place to sample a few beers little by little.
MugiThat’s great! If I can start with a small amount, then even a first-time Weizen drinker can feel relaxed. And it’s only a two-minute walk from Yaho Station’s north exit, so now I definitely want to go!
Hop BroAnd the place has 6 counter seats and 14 table seats, so it works well whether you’re drinking solo or with a small group. It’s fully non-smoking, has free Wi-Fi, and welcomes families too, which is thoughtful.
MugiGot it, so it has both atmosphere and drinkability! If there’s also the fun of a rotating tap lineup, then I’d want to stop in with Weizen as my marker and have a glass too!
