Daisetsu Ji Beer’s “Hokki-Brewed TOMAKOMAI STOUT” at Susukino Ale STAND
The beer pub Susukino Ale STAND on the B1F of COCONO SUSUKINO in Sapporo introduced Daisetsu Ji Beer’s new product, “Hokki-brewed TOMAKOMAI STOUT,” in a post on April 4. It is a Hokkaido-style stout made with surf clam and can also be purchased on the e-commerce site.
Hop BroSapporo’s Susukino Ale STAND is introducing another interesting beer. Daisetsu Ji Beer’s “Hokki-brewed TOMAKOMAI STOUT” already packs a lot of information into the name alone.
MugiWait, what is Hokki-brewed supposed to mean?! Shellfish in beer? I can barely wrap my head around that!
Hop BroRight, it’s a clam stout made with Tomakomai’s specialty surf clams. It was developed with help from “Seizan Takumi,” a charcoal-grilled yakiniku restaurant in Tomakomai, so it really puts Hokkaido front and center.
MugiClam means shellfish, right? But stout gives me more of an image of something dark and heavy.
Hop BroThat’s the point: the article says it has depth and richness while still finishing clean. When the surf clam’s umami comes through, it becomes more than just a dark beer contest.
MugiWhoa, if it says even people who don’t like dark beer and women enjoy it, it must be pretty easy to drink!
Hop BroAnd the specs are ABV 5.0%. It’s not too strong, and the balance makes it great with food, so it’s just right for savoring slowly.
MugiAnd it’s available on the e-commerce site too? That’s the best! You can drink it at the shop and then buy more if you like it!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to choose Hokkaido beers right there on the first basement floor of COCONO SUSUKINO in Susukino is a strong point too. It’s great when you can meet it in person and then see it again online.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! It has that limited-edition Hokkaido feel, and the surf clam flavor might completely change how I think about dark beer!
Hop BroThen tonight, let’s have a glass of Hokki-brewed TOMAKOMAI STOUT in Susukino. Mugi-chan, this one will probably go down a lot more smoothly than you expect.
A New Product That Puts Hokkaido Ingredients Front and Center
In an Instagram post on April 4, Susukino Ale STAND introduced Daisetsu Ji Beer’s “Hokki-brewed TOMAKOMAI STOUT.” With an ABV of 5.0%, undisclosed IBU, and a stout style, it is described as a clam stout developed with the help of “Seizan Takumi,” a charcoal-grilled yakiniku restaurant in Tomakomai City, using Tomakomai’s specialty surf clams.
The post explains that the savory flavor of the surf clam creates depth and richness, while the beer finishes clean and crisp. It is said to be well received even by people who do not like dark beer and by women, so rather than relying on heaviness alone, its appeal seems to lie in its easy-drinking character that makes use of the ingredient’s individuality.
