Kobe Craft Beer Shop Triangle Stocks Three 750 ml Bottles from Amakuuku
Craft beer shop Triangle in Hyogo Ward, Kobe City, is introducing three types of 750 ml bottles from Amakuuku (@amakuuku). These are unfiltered, unpasteurized, bottle-refermented beers, and the shop says they rank among its best bottle value-for-money offerings, noting that one bottle can be enjoyed over several days.
Hop BroKobe's Craft Beer Shop Triangle has stocked three kinds of 750 ml bottles of Amakuuku. What's more, they're unfiltered and unpasteurized with secondary fermentation in the bottle, so they're clearly meant to be enjoyed slowly.
MugiWow! 750 ml is big, so that means you can drink it over several days? I thought one person might not finish it, but that actually sounds more fun!
Hop BroExactly. Triangle says the value for money in bottle form is apparently among the best they carry. They also seem to be thinking about serving it by the glass in the shop, so you could taste it first, then buy a bottle if you like it.
MugiWhat? Does secondary fermentation in the bottle mean it ferments again inside the bottle? That suddenly sounds like a science experiment and I'm kind of excited!
Hop BroThat's right. The yeast does a little more work in the bottle, so the carbonation and flavor develop, which is why Amakuuku's bottles tend to have real depth. And since the alcohol content is at least 4% but under 5%, they're not too heavy either.
MugiOhhh! And Amakuuku the brewery uses agricultural products from Nasu, right? It feels stylish, like you could almost drink the scenery of the area!
Hop BroThe first one this time, Yukikata 2025, is a farmhouse beer made with lemon verbena and lemongrass. It has a lemon-tea-like aroma with a soft wave of umami, so it's light but not just plain refreshing.
MugiA beer that tastes like lemon tea! That would make it feel like an afternoon tea party when you drink it. It's the kind of thing I'd want to open at snack time!
Hop BroThe second one, Togan 2025, is a brown farmhouse beer made with several kinds of roasted malt. It layers fruity notes like pear compote and marmalade with the richness of roast and the bitterness of blood orange, so the tug-of-war between sweetness and astringency is really interesting.
MugiWhoa, that's a lot to take in! But I kind of like how fruitiness and bitterness coexist. The name sounds like it has a story too, and it makes me want to think things over while drinking it.
Hop BroThe last one, Wanko 2026, is a light farmhouse beer slowly brewed in the depths of winter. It comes together with aromas like coriander seed, fruity sweetness like honey-filled apples, and a soft hop bitterness, so it's easy to drink but still leaves an aftertaste.
MugiThey all sound amazing! If we did a three-bottle tasting at Triangle, we'd definitely end up staying a long time. I can't even decide which one to choose today!
The beer pub Craft Beer Shop Triangle in Minatogawa-cho, Hyogo Ward, Kobe City, announced on Instagram that it has stocked bottle beers from Amakuuku (@amakuuku). In the post, the shop said, "As far as value for money in bottle form, these are among the best in our store," and also highlighted that one bottle can be enjoyed over several days. It also appears to be considering serving them by the glass in the shop.
Amakuuku is a brewery that focuses on making beer using agricultural products from around the Nasu area. The bottles now on the shelves are all unfiltered and unpasteurized 750 ml bottles finished through secondary fermentation in the bottle. All have an alcohol content of at least 4% but less than 5%. While they have substantial character, they are also easy to pace and enjoy over time.
The three beers introduced are:
- Yukikata 2025: A farmhouse beer made with lemon verbena and lemongrass from Nasu Kogen HERB's. Its lemon-tea-like flavor and generous umami make it a memorable bottle.
- Togan 2025: A brown farmhouse beer made with several types of roasted malt. Fruit notes reminiscent of pear compote and marmalade are layered with the richness of roasted malt and the bitterness of blood orange.
- Wanko 2026: A light farmhouse beer carefully brewed through the depths of winter. It has aromas like coriander seed, fruity sweetness like honey-filled apples, and a gentle hop bitterness that comes together in a very balanced finish.
Triangle is a highly usable spot where you can carefully choose bottles of craft beer. When beers like these arrive, letting you follow how the flavors change as you drink them in stages, the lineup becomes appealing both for people who want to enjoy one glass at a time in the shop and for those who want to take a bottle home and savor it slowly.
