Hop BroToday we've got a hot one tapped at Osaka's Nakamozu beer pub, Enibrew. ORYZAE BREWING's "Japanese White No.9" from Wakayama is definitely drawing a lot of attention.
MugiWhoa! Japanese White No.9 already sounds powerful just from the name! Is the white part saying it's a white beer?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It's a bold brew made primarily with rice koji and rice, without using malt.
MugiWhat? A malt-free beer? That's basically a rebel in the beer world, isn't it?
Hop BroAnd on top of that, it's fermented with sake yeast No. 9 and even gets primary fermentation in oak barrels, so the character of sake yeast No. 9 really comes through.
MugiWow! It says it has a white-wine-like aroma, too, so it sounds refined even though the idea is totally wild!
Hop BroExactly. The aroma is gorgeous and fruity, and the mouthfeel is smooth. With that smooth texture, it's the kind of beer you sip slowly.
MugiAnd it's produced in small batches, right? When they say there aren't many chances to drink it, it makes me want it even more!
Hop BroThat's the strength of Enibrew. The calm underground space makes it a great place to enjoy it with Japanese-style dishes.
MugiIf they have special chicken meatballs and sautéed pork belly, I'm done for! I want to drink it now, eat it now, and have both!
At Enibrew, the beer pub in Osaka's Nakamozu, a beer that fits the shop's appeal as a place to enjoy beers from all over Japan has been introduced: "Japanese White No.9" by Wakayama's ORYZAE BREWING.
The beer featured in the post is described as the world's first attempt to brew without using malt, instead using rice koji and rice as the main ingredients. It is fermented with sake yeast No. 9 and also undergoes primary fermentation in oak barrels, giving it a gorgeous, fruity aroma reminiscent of white wine and sake, along with a smooth mouthfeel. Since it is produced in small quantities, the limited opportunities to drink it are also worth noting.
Enibrew is a beer pub located in Il Grandi B1, 2-71 Nakamozu-cho, Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture. In its calm underground space, it seems well suited to a distinctive beer like this, as a place where you can take your time and enjoy craft beer. The post also notes that dishes with a Japanese flavor are prepared to match the arrival of the beer, including appetizers such as special chicken meatballs and a chilled Kaga-futo cucumber dish accented with scallions and ginger, as well as sautéed pork belly finished with a rustic miso sauce.
This is a pairing that lets you enjoy not only the beer's individual character, but also how it works with food. It's a beer worth checking out for anyone who wants to experience the feel of Japanese ingredients and the free-spirited ideas of craft beer at the same time.
