Gotojozo opens June seasonal beer 'Amanatsu Wheat' in Setagaya
Gotojozo, the Kyodo-based brewery in Setagaya, has opened its June seasonal beer, Amanatsu Wheat. The beer is a wheat ale made with local amanatsu citrus, and the brewery is also highlighting Father’s Day gifts and seasonal food items.
Hop BroA fresh June pour just landed in Kyodo: Goto Jozo's new release 'Amanatsu Wheat' is now on tap.
MugiWhat, Amanatsu Wheat? That already sounds like summer in a glass. Citrus in a beer?
Hop BroExactly. It's a wheat ale, so you get soft wheat character layered with locally picked amanatsu and a bright, easy finish.
MugiWait, a wheat ale? Did a bakery just sneak into the brewhouse or what?
Hop BroNot quite, but close in spirit. Wheat's soft texture smooths out the mouthfeel, keeps bitterness gentle, and makes it really easy to drink.
MugiNo way, so it's one of those light and refreshing beers that vanishes before you notice?
Hop BroThat's the smart part. It's not just sweet, it's fruit-forward design with bright aroma up front and a light body underneath.
MugiYou said that like a brewing wizard! So fruit-forward design means 'hello citrus, bitterness please wait in the hallway'?
Hop BroExactly. And Goto Jozo is a stand-up beer bar and brewery in Kyodo, just three minutes from the station, with four fresh beers from 800 yen.
MugiThat is dangerously convenient! And there's a Father's Day gift option too, so now I have an excuse and a craving.
Hop BroThey also have pork rolls with fresh ginger as a limited June food pairing, and now I seriously want a glass with that combo.
MugiThat's unfairly tempting. The one-drink in Kyodo plan is officially happening, because Amanatsu Wheat needs to be in our hands immediately!
