Hop BroI found a seriously intriguing pour in Susukino: NAKAFURANO BREWERY’s Roasted Sweet Potato Porter.
MugiWhat? Roasted sweet potato in beer?! Did snack time meet beer time?
Hop BroExactly. It uses Hokkaido-grown Beni Haruka, roasted and made into a paste for the brewing process.
MugiBrewing process? Do they just drop a sweet potato in a pot? What does blended into the wort mean?
Hop BroWort is the sweet liquid that becomes beer. The sweet-potato paste is mixed into it to bring out its flavor.
MugiWow! So this dark beer has Beni Haruka sweetness too?
Hop BroThat’s it. The porter’s roasted malt character meets the rounded depth of roasted sweet potato.
MugiRoasted malt means that toasty, browned-bread kind of aroma? I can already picture a sweet-potato street cart!
Hop BroPretty close. Along with the malty toastiness, it apparently finishes with a shochu-like aroma.
MugiA beer with a shochu-like finish?! There’s so much going on that my taste buds might teleport to Hokkaido!
