At the beer pub HOP MAN in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki City, Shonan Beer’s “SAKURA GOSE” has been newly tapped. It’s a glass marked by the aroma of salted cherry blossoms, the salty character typical of gose, and a gentle lactic-acid-derived tartness.
Hop BroToday I’m talking about the newly tapped SAKURA GOSE at the beer pub HOP MAN in Jukkenzaka, Chigasaki City.
MugiWait, sakura as in cherry blossoms!? So it’s made with salted cherry blossoms in beer?
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s a Shonan Beer brew, and the key point is how the saltiness and acidity come through beautifully on a gose base.
MugiWhat is gose anyway! The name sounds kind of intense, but is it a traditional German style?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a style that uses salt and brings out lactic-acid-derived sourness, and in “SAKURA GOSE” they layer on an aroma like sakura mochi.
MugiAn aroma like sakura mochi? That’s basically hanami in a glass! And it even has yogurt-like acidity? I’m curious now.
Hop BroThe drink is fruity, with a citrus-like quality, and finishes with a gentle cherry blossom aftertaste. They keep it from getting too sweet and use salt to give it a clean snap.
MugiHOP MAN is fun because you can keep up with what’s on the lineup right now. With a new guest beer tap like this, I’d want to go the moment I found it!
Hop BroExactly. If you’re looking for something that feels like spring, this is a glass where you can check out Shonan Beer’s character.
MugiI’m already in full SAKURA GOSE mode! Tonight I’m going with just one drink, and then I’ll probably end up having another!
