Ryusendo Wakka to Release New Craft Beer 'Hoshimeguri' on July 7
Ryusendo Wakka in Iwaizumi, Iwate, will release a new craft beer, 'Hoshimeguri,' on July 7. The brewery also says it will operate without closing days in July and has several event appearances lined up, highlighting its summer activity around Ryusendo's spring water and local food.
Hop BroThere’s a new reason to look forward to Tanabata: Ryusendo Wakka in Iwaizumi is releasing “Hoshimeguri” on July 7.
MugiWhat! The name already sounds dreamy. “Hoshimeguri” totally feels like a beer for stargazing.
Hop BroAnd it’s from Ryusendo Wakka, the spot known for craft beer brewed with water from Ryusendo Cave.
MugiOh wow! But the beer style is still undisclosed, right? That almost makes me more curious.
Hop BroExactly. The style hasn’t been announced yet, but that cave water has a really nice mineral balance, so I’m expecting something clean and summery.
MugiWait, what is mineral balance supposed to mean? Why does this suddenly sound like science class?
Hop BroIt sounds technical, but it’s simple: it’s about how the water’s components line up. In beer terms, that often means a cleaner mouthfeel and a clearer flavor profile.
MugiGot it! And it’s not just a brewery, right? It’s more like a community hub with a taproom and a local shop too.
Hop BroThat’s right. They’re open every day in July, plus they’ve got events in Miyako and Tokyo, so it’s basically full summer mode over there.
MugiBeer, food, and events all together? That’s too good. Now I really want to start with a glass made with cave water and drink it on Tanabata.
