Featured Beer

At beer bar Cyblume in Maruyamacho, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, Kyoto Nude Brewry's "Nagasame-Rin-" is being offered as a guest beer. The style is Gose, and the alcohol content is 5.0%. Centered on the fresh aroma of yuzu, it is a beer with a distinctly Japanese nuance, where the fruitiness derived from yellow koji and the gentle acidity from lactic fermentation overlap.

Flavor Characteristics

- The aroma of yuzu comes through clearly
- On the palate, the fruitiness associated with yellow koji and a soft acidity spread out
- The heat from the chili pepper is restrained, appearing quietly from the middle of the flavor profile
- Salt makes up about 0.2% overall, serving only to sharpen the outline

As a beer pub, Cyblume's appeal lies in its calm setting, where craft beer can be enjoyed at an unhurried pace. It suits people who want to focus less on flashy presentation and more on how the aroma rises from the glass and how the acidity unfolds. Nagasame-Rin- brings together the brightness of citrus, a gentle saltiness, and a soft fermentation character, making it easy to pair both with a first drink and with a beer to enjoy slowly after a meal.

In Maruyamacho, a little away from the center of Shibuya, finding a distinctive guest beer like this is very much in the spirit of Cyblume. It is an easy choice for days when you want to enjoy a clearly defined Gose style in a quiet environment.
