Hop BroAt the beer pub Fleisch König in Kochi City's Honmachi, Yamamoto Beer's Rauchbier "Noroshi" was featured. It really feels like one to watch as a beer geared toward meat dishes.
MugiWait, what's a Rauchbier? You mean a smoky kind of beer? Just hearing the name makes it feel like smoke is billowing everywhere!
Hop BroExactly. Rauchbier is a style that uses smoked malt. This one also includes bonito flakes, and the interesting part is how it layers in a brothy, dashi-like aroma.
MugiBonito flakes too!? It's beer, but it sounds like miso soup is lurking in there! How is it a dark beer without being too heavy? What's the magic?
Hop BroThat's the beauty of the design. The official listing gives it 5% alcohol and IBU 20, so it's not too bitter and the drinkability is moderate. That’s why it comes across as smoky yet easygoing.
MugiI see. If the smoke were too strong it would get tiring, but this seems like something that could go well with a meal! But IBU is back again - that's the measure of bitterness, right?
Hop BroThat's right. IBU is an index of bitterness, and 20 isn't extremely bitter. Fleisch König has steak and smoked platters, so it makes sense that it's a great match for meat dishes.
MugiWow, they even have bolognese! And if you can enjoy a quiet drink on the 4th floor in central Kochi City, that relaxed atmosphere sounds amazing.
Hop BroExactly. Yamamoto Beer has a deep connection with Fleisch König, and since there's also a house-brewing flow, the fit is great. This one is a guest beer, but it really gives off an air of perfect compatibility with the shop.
MugiThen I'll go with the smoked platter! I'm feeling like having one Noroshi, no, maybe two!
Hop BroThat's settled then. Today’s article really made me want a drink with a smoke-and-meat pairing. Once we get to the shop, let's check the aroma first and then raise a glass.
