Hop BroToday I'm introducing a new limited-batch release from Omi Beer in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. It's called "Takenoko Takenoko Nyokkikki," and that name alone already makes you curious, right?
MugiWait, bamboo shoots!? A beer with the vibe of wild mountain vegetables!? The impact of that name is way too strong!
Hop BroThe post says it uses bamboo shoot extract, aiming for a lightly fragrant sweetness and flavor. Instead of leading with bitterness, it's a design that softly layers in the ingredient character.

Hop BroExactly. And the specs are ABV 5.5% and IBU 10. The alcohol is solid, but the bitterness is quite restrained, so the drinking experience should be gentle.

Hop BroBy the way, the style name hasn't been disclosed, but from the numbers and the description, you can tell it's a beer meant to be enjoyed for its aroma and ingredient character. A beer with this much theme makes you want to approach it a little cautiously when you drink it.
MugiNow I completely want to drink it! If we toasted with bamboo shoot beer, the seasonal feeling would explode even though it's not spring!
