MugiHanagosho persimmons? What’s that! Persimmon in beer sounds like it might turn into sweet juice!
Hop BroThat’s the clever part: the brewer ferments the wort and persimmons together. Wort and persimmons ferment into a beer with a bright, fruity aroma.
MugiWort? That sounds like a spell! If it means sweet liquid from malt, I’m slightly less scared now!
Hop BroExactly—wort is the sweet liquid before it becomes beer. Expect a gentle, light mouthfeel, with the fruity persimmon aroma alongside it.
MugiWow! With Yazu’s prized Hanagosho persimmons, often called Japan’s sweetest, even the aroma sounds like a treat!
Hop BroThe rabbit on the label evokes the Legend of the White Hare of Inaba, so local myth meets local fruit in one glass.
