Hop BroAt Danchi Kitchen Tajima in Sakura Ward, Saitama City, the café beer is switching from strawberry ale to a new release. Next up is Meccha Lemon Wheat, and that is a pretty notable topic.
MugiWhoa! From strawberry to lemon!? That feels like a fruit transfer, and suddenly it's going full-refresh mode!
Hop BroThe new pour uses the Sea and Sun Lemon from Kamogawa, Chiba. It doesn't just use the juice, but also the peel and seeds, so the lemon aroma and shape come through really clearly.
MugiThe peel and seeds too!? Wait, you put that much lemon in it? That's like a full-fruit package and kind of surprising!
Hop BroThat's the point. It layers the sourness and gentle bitterness of lemon onto the soft mouthfeel of a wheat beer. In other words, it's bright and zesty, but still rounded on the palate.
MugiI get it now! So that's what you mean by soft acidity. It's easy to drink, and it's great that it still has a real lemon character!
Hop BroAnd Danchi Kitchen Tajima isn't just a café either; it's a complex with an attached brewery. They brew small batches themselves, and the nice thing is that you can drink it right there in the café.
MugiWait, you can drink it right where it's made!? That's basically straight from the source, and it sounds absurdly tasty!
Hop BroExactly. And this time, I like that they're leaning into a beer that pairs well with meals by using seasonal ingredients. It's designed to go nicely with everyday food.
MugiFrom the sweet feel of strawberry to the crisp feel of lemon... a seasonal wardrobe change is the best! This makes me want to drink it with a meal at the café!
Hop BroYeah, changes like this let you taste the mood of the season too. Today, I already feel like I want to toast with Lemon Wheat.
MugiMe too! I want to feel the lingering strawberry aftertaste for a moment, then move on to a sparkling lemon finish!
Café Beer Lineup Updated to a Lemon-Based Beer
Danchi Kitchen Tajima, located in Sakura Ward, Saitama City, Saitama, announced on Instagram that it will switch the lineup of beers served at its café. Once the strawberry ale currently being offered runs out, the next pour will be the new release, Meccha Lemon Wheat.
The new beer uses Sea and Sun Lemons grown in Kamogawa, Chiba. It is introduced as a wheat beer with a strong lemon character, made from lemons grown with low synthetic pesticide use and low chemical fertilizer, using not only the juice but also the peel and seeds. The post explains that its flavor layers sourness, sweetness, and a gentle bitterness, allowing the lemon character to come through clearly.
Danchi Kitchen Tajima is a food-themed complex that includes a café, brewery, and shared kitchen. In the brewery inside the facility, the team makes distinctive craft beer by taking advantage of the characteristics of a microbrewery that can produce small batches, and one feature is that you can enjoy the beer brewed there in the café within the same facility.
This change can be seen as an effort to add a new expression to the beer served at the café while incorporating seasonal ingredients. From strawberry to lemon. It changes not only the impression of the fruit, but also seems to bring a clearer citrus outline within the soft texture typical of a wheat beer.
The café at Danchi Kitchen Tajima is operated as a place where people can casually enjoy everyday meals. Being able to taste craft beer of the moment alongside the food is another part of the appeal unique to this facility.
