New arrival


RIVERSIDE BASE HOME FIELD, a beer pub in Futako-Shinchi, is featuring `DAKUON` as a guest beer. The release comes from Teenage Brewing in collaboration with ぷくぷく醸造 and Hamadaya Saketen, and it is brewed as a Doburoku Sour TIPA. The concept is rooted in Japan's traditional doburoku, then reinterpreted through a craft-beer lens.

Amazake is used as a supplementary ingredient, and the beer is described as having a smooth texture reminiscent of doburoku, bright acidity, and gentle fermented umami. Rice and koji notes are part of the profile, while the hop aroma is kept soft and fresh. It is a beer aimed less at sharp bitterness and more at the layered character of fermentation.

RIVERSIDE BASE HOME FIELD itself combines craft beer with coffee, clothing, and laundry, making it a distinctive mixed-use spot rather than a standard taproom. Set in a residential neighborhood, it is the kind of place where a thoughtful collaboration beer like `DAKUON` fits naturally into the lineup.
