At Susukino Yell STAND, a beer pub on the basement floor of COCONO SUSUKINO in central Sapporo, a guest beer from Tsuki to Taiyo Brewing is now on offer: “Tsuki to Taiyo Brewery.” The product page lists it at JPY 1,000 including tax, making it a clear addition to the venue’s lineup.

The beer is introduced as an original for Gyoza to Men Ise no Jo. According to the description, it is paler than a traditional bitter or pale ale, with a fresh hop aroma and high drinkability. It also uses plenty of domestic lemon, aiming for a layered aroma and flavor that feels closer to biting into the fruit itself than to a simple lemon-flavored beer.

Its concept is straightforward: a beer made to pair with gyoza. The lemon notes are meant to wrap around the savory, toasted character of dumplings and lead into the next sip. For drinkers looking for a food-friendly guest beer in Sapporo’s city center, this is an easy one to note.
