KARAKURI taps Falò Brewing × Sailor's Grave Brewing's 'Biru Shiso Lemon Gose'
At KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda, Tokyo, the collaboration beer 'Biru Shiso Lemon Gose' from Falò Brewing and Sailor's Grave Brewing has been tapped. A gose combining Setouchi lemon, yuzu, red shiso, and sea salt, it offers a refreshing citrus character and a light salty note.
Hop BroSo Biru Shiso Lemon Gose has been tapped at KARAKURI in Kanda. It's a collaboration between Falò Brewing and Sailor's Grave Brewing, and even the name already feels refreshing.
MugiWhoa, a shiso lemon gose!? Just reading that makes my mouth pucker. What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt's based on the German-origin gose, with Setouchi lemon, yuzu, red shiso, and sea salt layered in. Since it's a style that really brings out acidity and saltiness, it should fit perfectly in hot weather.
MugiSea salt? What is that! It sounds like cooking, but is it really okay to put salt in beer?
Hop BroThat's the thing: salt does good work in gose. The subtle saltiness rounds out the acidity and brings the citrus aroma forward.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just lemon, but shiso too, which makes the aroma feel three-dimensional. It suddenly feels like summer izakaya vibes!
Hop BroExactly. Falò Brewing uses Setouchi lemons, and Sailor's Grave Brewing uses yuzu, and the fact that they finished it with a shared Japan-Australia recipe is another interesting point.
MugiA joint brew is exciting! And if there was already a connection between them, the background to the collab is emotional too.
Hop BroAnd the fact that it's at KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- is great. Since it's a beer pub where you can drink it with oden, the sour gose pairs nicely with food.
MugiIf you can drink something like that in Kanda, I want to go right now! Hearing 'light, easy-drinking' makes me want to gulp it down on a hot day.
Hop BroIt's open on Wednesday, May 27 from 17:00 to 23:00, so remember it if you're in the mood for a gose in Kanda.
MugiDeal! Today I want to toast with a refreshing citrus gose while snacking on oden!

The recipe is shared between the Japan version and the Australia version: Falò Brewing uses Setouchi-grown lemon, while Sailor's Grave Brewing uses yuzu. Both breweries also add red shiso and sea salt, resulting in a finish that layers citrus freshness, shiso's floral aroma, and a subtle salty note. Its light, easy-drinking character makes it a good fit for the hotter season.
