KARAKURI taps Flora Fermentation × umbrella RiB collaboration IPA
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda tapped “Decacorn Tawaki,” a collaboration beer from Flora Fermentation and umbrella RiB, for its August 7 service. It is a Session IPA with bright citrus and tropical notes.
Hop BroKanda just got a tap update worth talking about: a fresh KARAKURI opening for the Flora Fermentation x umbrella RiB collab, Dekacorn Tawaki.
MugiWait, Dekacorn Tawaki sounds like a giant robot, a snack, and a magic spell at the same time!
Hop BroThat name absolutely commits, and this is also a 10th anniversary collab for umbrella RiB, built as a super drinkable Session IPA.
MugiOoh, but Session IPA sounds like an IPA that also does cardio. What does that actually mean?
Hop BroBasically, it means an easygoing IPA with plenty of aroma but a lighter body, so you can keep sipping without getting steamrolled.
MugiThat sounds perfect! The article says lime and grapefruit notes, and now my brain is demanding a summer soundtrack.
Hop BroAnd then you layer in tropical character plus dry-hop aroma lift, and that crisp finish starts making a lot of sense.
MugiHold on, dry-hop aroma just turned this into science class. Translate for the people!
Hop BroIt means adding hops later to boost fragrance, basically a technique for bigger aroma without making the beer feel harsh or too bitter.
MugiOkay, that at a cozy Kanda spot with oden sounds like peak izakaya beer mode and maybe a dangerous amount of fun.
Hop BroExactly, and KARAKURI also has a bottle shop, so drink there or take home both work. August 7, Friday, 5 to 11 p.m. is a strong plan.
MugiThen it's settled: oden with Session IPA is happening in my imagination already, and now I really want a glass.
