MugiWhoa! I picture Kiyosato as Yamanashi, so it’s great that you can drink it in Ikebukuro!
Hop BroIt’s a lager made with Rihoku rice from Hokuto, in Yamanashi’s Takane district, and its signature is a crisp finish and smooth gulpability.
MugiWhat? Rice in beer? Isn’t that basically a drinkable rice ball?
Hop BroCute idea, but not quite! Rice can give beer a lighter, drier character and help create a clean, refreshing finish.
MugiOoh! So rather than a huge hop punch, is it the kind that pairs with food?
Hop BroExactly. Instead of putting hops front and center, it has a light body that keeps pace with a meal—a crisp, easy-drinking beer.
MugiThat sounds friendly for craft-beer beginners too! Since it comes from the Yatsugatake area, it also has a taste of Kiyosato.
Hop Brovivo! is a beer pub in Higashi-Ikebukuro, opening at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Just check official hours first.
