Ryusendo Wakka to Pour Ryusendo Vibeer at Iwate Oshi Festa in Roppongi Hills
In an Instagram post on July 3, Ryusendo Wakka announced that it will join the two-day Iwate Oshi Festa at Roppongi Hills Arena on July 11 and 12. Visitors can try the brewery's in-house Ryusendo Vibeer at the ICA booth.
Hop BroI’ve got a story about Iwate beer in Roppongi today. Ryusendo Wakka is pouring its own beer at the Iwate Oshi Festa on July 11 and 12.
MugiWhat! At Roppongi Hills Arena? Iwate craft beer there? That’s the kind of news that mysteriously clears my weekend.
Hop BroAnd the one at the ICA booth is Ryusendo V-BEER. It’s made by Ryusendo Wakka in Iwaizumi, Iwate, a community spot with its own in-house brewery.
MugiWhat’s that even mean? An in-house brewery? Does the beer basically walk out from backstage?
Hop BroNot exactly, but I respect the image. It means they’re brewing right on site, so the maker’s character goes straight into the glass.
MugiWhoa, and they use water from Ryusendo Cave plus local ingredients, right? At that point the glass is practically a tourist destination.
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. It could have a strong sense of terroir. The local water and ingredients can really show up in the flavor.
MugiWait, what is terroir? You dropped one fancy word and my brain started foaming.
Hop BroBasically it means the taste of place. The article doesn’t give the exact style of Ryusendo V-BEER yet, but I really want to see how it expresses Iwaizumi.
MugiAnd this sounds like an Iwate overload festival! Sansa dancing, crying sumo, tiger dance, Morioka cold noodles, and Sanriku seafood? That’s too much in the best way.
Hop BroIt runs 11:00 to 17:00 on July 11 and 11:00 to 16:00 on July 12, and free admission helps. There’s sake tasting, local products, and even Geodude, so families can drop by too.
MugiThis is basically an Iwate trip in Tokyo! I want cold noodles first, then Ryusendo V-BEER, and honestly, you already want your first pint too.
