Hop BroTaru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu is now pouring Beer Hearn from Matsue’s Enmusubi Stout. It’s a great gateway into dark beer.
MugiWow, that name sounds lucky already! But is this beginner-friendly dark beer really not too bitter?
Hop BroStout is an Irish-born dark-beer style known for roasted malt aroma, but this one keeps its bitterness nicely restrained.
MugiRoasted malt? What is that? Are they burning grain? The poor little barley!
Hop BroNot burning it—roasting malt develops notes like coffee and nuts. Think of it as the aroma specialist.
MugiOhh! And it’s a milk stout, so it sounds gentle. Is it beer with milk?
Hop BroIt uses lactose, which adds sweetness and body. The beer does not turn white, of course, but it creates a softer mouthfeel.
MugiDark-looking but gentle-tasting—I love that! I want it with Taru Taru’s salt-boiled Omamasari peanuts.
Hop BroExcellent choice. Nuts, cheese, rice crackers, oysters, braised pork, soba broth, and soy-sauce dishes all make versatile pairings.
MugiSoba broth with stout?! Its Japanese-food range is enormous! It’s the beer world’s all-rounder!
Hop BroTry a half-and-half blend with pilsner, too. The stout’s roastiness meets the pilsner’s crisp lift—a real beer-to-beer matchmaker.
MugiWith its 2015 Asian Champion and 2018 Japan Champion awards, this is clearly the real deal. Let’s toast in Kawaramachi—after checking availability first!
Taru Taru, a beer pub located in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, Kagawa, is featuring Enmusubi Stout from Matsue Beer Hearn.
Enmusubi Stout is a stout inspired by the black beers of Ireland. Roasted malt brings a toasty aroma and flavor, while lactose, used in the traditional milk stout method, gives the beer a soft and mellow mouthfeel. Although it retains the roasted character expected from a stout, its bitterness is restrained, making it an approachable option even for drinkers who normally avoid dark beer.
Matsue Beer Hearn recommends pairing the beer with fragrant nuts, cheese, and rice crackers. Its milky character is also suited to oysters, while soy-based dishes, soba-dashi flavors, and braised pork are suggested as additional matches. Taru Taru also offers boiled Oma-size peanuts with salt, a simple snack that should complement the stout’s gentle sweetness and roast character.
Another recommended serve is a half-and-half with pilsner. The combination brings together the stout’s roasted depth and the pilsner’s lighter, more refreshing character, creating a playful pairing of two beers.
Enmusubi Stout has also been presented as a decorated beer, winning the Asia Champion title in 2015 and the Japan Champion title in 2018 in the Milk Stout category at the World Beer Awards. Beer lovers visiting Taru Taru can explore it with food or try the half-and-half serve. Availability should be confirmed with the pub before visiting.
