Uchu Brewing adds 'UCHU KAWAII Strawberry' at Toranomon Hills taproom
Uchu Brewing, based in Hokuto, Yamanashi, announced a new canned nomu yogurt sour ale, 'UCHU KAWAII Strawberry,' at its Toranomon Hills GLASS ROCK taproom. The beer is described as a thick, creamy release brewed with plenty of strawberries and yogurt.
Hop BroI have a fun one today: a new Uchu can just landed at GLASS ROCK in Toranomon Hills. It's from Uchu Brewing, and the beer is called UCHU KAWAII Strawberry, which is already a dangerously cute name.
MugiWhat! UCHU KAWAII Strawberry sounds absurdly adorable. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is a yogurt sour ale packed with strawberry and yogurt, so it sounds thick and rich. Basically, dessert jumped straight into a can.
MugiWait, what is sour ale? It's tart, it's yogurt, it's beer... my brain just spilled all over the floor.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's a sweet-tart beer. You get soft acidity, real strawberry character, and creamy yogurt vibes, so it drinks more like a fruity dessert than a sharp sour.
MugiOooh, drinkable fruit dessert is a very convincing phrase. And if it's at Toranomon Hills, that feels dangerously easy after work.
Hop BroExactly, and the hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with last order at 8:30 p.m. It's cashless only, and if you add 100 yen, you can crack the can in the taproom or on the terrace with a plastic cup.
MugiWhoa, terrace can drinking suddenly sounds classy. But if there's no food, my stomach is going to file a formal complaint.
Hop BroThat part is covered because outside food is allowed as long as it's bought inside Toranomon Hills. And the draft list has six beers, including KONBINI IPA, P!P!P! PILSNER, and UCHU TORANOMON QDH QUADRUPLE IPA, so restraint gets tested fast.
MugiHold on, what is QDH? You said that like a normal human phrase, and I refuse to let that slide.
Hop BroThink of QDH as extra-loaded hop aroma. It's a technique where hops are layered repeatedly to push the aroma way up, and the Kobuchizawa taproom is also open Fridays through Sundays in June and July, so Uchu fans can chase it in Tokyo or Yamanashi.
MugiAt this point, I need a strawberry toast. I can already see myself starting with UCHU KAWAII Strawberry and somehow ending with a giant hoppy draft.
Hop BroThat sounds like the ideal beer crawl to me. Start with the new can in Toranomon, then immediately start planning the Yamanashi trip.
