Akita Aqula Beer Begins Sales of 'Nohara Hiroshi's Beer' with Omagari Session IPA Label
Akita Aqula Beer announced on Instagram that sales have started for the limited Crayon Shinchan collaboration design, “Nohara Hiroshi’s Beer (Omagari Session IPA).” It is a beer-news item worth noting for readers in Akita’s Omachi district, where Restaurant Platz is located.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one from Omachi in Akita today. Akita A-Kura Beer just started selling Hiroshi Nohara’s Beer, and it really stands out.
MugiWait, Hiroshi is on a beer? A Crayon Shin-chan collab already sounds like something I’d double-take at on a shelf!
Hop BroAnd it’s not just a gimmick. The beer itself is Omagari Session IPA, tied to the famous Omagari fireworks, so the label and the liquid both have a point.
MugiHold on, what even is a Session IPA? Is that beer language for “you can keep hanging out without getting flattened”?
Hop BroThat’s basically the idea. You still get IPA-style bitterness and aroma, but it’s designed to stay lighter and easier to drink, especially in humid weather.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not one of those bitter endurance tests. You still get bright hop aroma and actual flavor fun?
Hop BroExactly. The hop-derived aroma lifts first, then the finish snaps clean. Also, the bottle detail is funny: it looks crown-capped, but it’s actually maxi-cap style.
MugiWhat is that, a finishing move? If it has a pull-tab top, that means no desperate drawer-rummaging for a bottle opener. I respect that.
Hop BroYou can buy it from the brewery shop or the official online shop, even one bottle at a time. And if you follow them on Instagram at the shop, there’s a sticker giveaway while supplies last.
MugiThen this is absolutely one to watch around the Platz area in Omachi. The label is fun, the beer sounds legit, and now I want one immediately.
In Akita’s Omachi area, where Restaurant Platz sits at 1-2-40 Omachi, Akita City, a new collaboration bottle from Akita Aqula Beer is drawing attention. On Instagram, the brewery announced the start of sales for the limited Crayon Shinchan collaboration design, “Nohara Hiroshi’s Beer (Omagari Session IPA).”
The label is part of the “CRAYON SHINCHAN JAPAN CRAFTS” collaboration. It combines Omagari fireworks, one of Japan’s most famous fireworks traditions, with Nohara Hiroshi. The image looks like a crown cap bottle that needs an opener, but the actual product uses a maxi-cap with a pull tab.
The beer style is Session IPA. It is designed to be easy to keep drinking, with a crisp bitterness and a bright hop aroma that should work well in humid weather. The Hiroshi-labeled bottle is available one bottle at a time at the brewery shop and the official online store. At the brewery shop, Instagram followers can also receive a sticker from the Crayon Shinchan Family City Project, while supplies last.
For readers who like combining a meal with craft beer, Restaurant Platz’s beer-pub setting makes this kind of limited bottle especially relevant: a visually distinctive release with a style that should appeal to IPA drinkers.
