A tomato saison with savory depth
Taru Taru, a beer pub located in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu, Kagawa, is featuring Miroku Beer’s Akame. The beer is described as a Tomato Saison with an ABV of 5.0% and an IBU of 27.
Akame is brewed every year, but this release revisits both its ingredients and brewing process. Mini tomatoes grown in the birthplace of Kobo Daishi Kukai are used generously. Some are slowly reduced to concentrate sweetness and umami, while another portion is roasted to add toastiness and depth.
Despite its dark appearance, the beer is light on the palate. Toasted malt meets gentle tomato acidity, concentrated savory notes and the spicy aroma of saison yeast. The finish is clean and dry, making the beer suitable for pairing with food.
Its combination of tomato, baguette-like malt character and spice gives the beer an almost dish-like impression. At Taru Taru, beer fans can explore a distinctive local saison that balances dark malt character with a crisp, food-friendly profile. Availability should be confirmed with the pub.
