Hop BroUchu Brewing in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, announced the "OTAKU 6-Bottle Set" on its official online store. Even the name alone gives off a strong sense of worldbuilding.
MugiWait, OTAKU is the name of a beer!? That already makes me curious, and a six-pack means they really mean business!
Hop BroWhat's more, this one is happoshu. In Japan's classification, it's a category separate from beer, but true to Uchu Brewing's style, it feels like they're hitting you with the story before the contents.
MugiHitting you with the story? What does that even mean! The description "the one who has mastered Moe" is suddenly sending otaku spirit flying into space!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The product description even goes into a story that evokes the universe before the Big Bang. In other words, they've packed a cosmic-scale setting into a single drink.
MugiWhoa! And then there are words like 5-dimensional fruit and HEROES, which hit hard! My brain is already getting scrambled before I even drink it!
Hop BroExactly. Uchu Brewing started in Yamanashi in 2018, and now it has its headquarters and brewery in Hokuto City. It also has taprooms in Kobuchizawa and Tokyo's Toranomon, and it's really good at delivering the whole experience.
MugiSo it's not just a new product, but something to enjoy as a whole brand world. I feel like reading the setting materials before I even take a sip!
Hop BroThere isn't much detail about the flavor, but that's exactly why it lets the imagination run wild. More than chasing the specs, this feels like an OTAKU-style beer to be tasted through its context.
MugiWow, now I really want to try it! I'd love to sink into the worldview with a six-pack, and then drink my way straight to the entrance of space!
