Hop BroThe post from Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, on March 21 about tapping Shonan Beer’s "Hon Yuzu Saison" is pretty intriguing.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Hon Yuzu Saison sounds delicious! Anything with yuzu feels like an instant win!
Hop BroThe thing is, it has that spicy character from saison yeast, so the yuzu aroma isn’t just refreshingly bright, it actually works as a real food-pairing beer.
MugiSaison yeast? What even is that? This suddenly feels like a science class, but does beer really have that kind of personality too?
Hop BroSimply put, the aroma from the yeast tends to come across a little spicy and fruity. That’s why it doesn’t clash with the yuzu aroma; it actually brings it out.
MugiI see! And the day’s star, sake lees soy milk oden, is on its last day, so this is absolutely the kind of thing you’d want to pair with it!
Hop BroThe oden isn’t just a side character either. With cabbage rolls, daikon, thick-cut bacon, and rape blossoms, it balances gentle umami with satisfying substance.
MugiWait, it has that many ingredients? Then there’s no way you’d stop at just one beer, and the oiden feels like the main event!
Hop BroOn top of that, the draft beers include the Shima Brewing collaboration, Kiyosato Lager, and even barley wine, so being able to compare six draft beers is a real strength.
MugiWow, eating, drinking, and deciding what to try sounds like such happy trouble! The seasonal pour and the last oden really make this a place I want to go tonight!
Hop BroExactly. Start with the yuzu aroma, then finish with the oden. I want to drink tonight, and that’s the flow, plain and simple.
