At the beer pub HARU BEER in Hiroshima's Enomachi, Matsue Beer Herun's Shinjiko MOON has been tapped. Hours are Tuesday, March 31, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. With a convenient window for stopping by after work, the guest beer launch is being announced alongside updates from the owner.

This Shinjiko MOON is said to make generous use of Shimane-grown honey. The description says its defining features are a light acidity and a fruity aroma, resulting in a rich flavor. As the name suggests, it is the kind of beer that makes you want to slowly check how the soft sweetness and clear acidity are balanced, as well as how its aroma opens up.

The food lineup includes brie cheese and iyokan canapes, plus carpaccio, whole roasted new onion, and young sardine yukhoe. Pairing the beer's acidity and fruitiness with cheese and citrus is straightforward, and the menu is arranged to make it easy to keep drinking while thinking about how it matches the food.
