Yose in Yoyogi to Host Ise-Themed Beer and Sake Event on July 4
Beer pub Yose in Yoyogi, Tokyo will host 「Ise, Summer Triangle @ Yose」 on Saturday, July 4, bringing together beers and sake linked to Ise. The lineup includes the collaboration fruit ale 「Fruit Scandal」 from Himitsu Beer and Motozaka Shuzo, along with several other beers.
Hop BroAt Yose in Yoyogi, on July 4, they’re holding Ise, Summer Love Triangle. It’s an event where Ise-connected craft beer, sake, and food all show up in one place.
MugiWait, that title already sounds like romantic disaster energy! Is this a love triangle between beers?
Hop BroThe stars are actually getting along just fine: Himitsu Beer and Motosaka Shuzo made Fruit Scandal together. It’s a fruit ale brewed with their homegrown Koshihikari rice and sake lees.
MugiWhat is that even! Beer with sake lees sounds like beer and sake just linked arms in my brain!
Hop BroThat image is pretty close, actually. Sake lees bring aroma and umami from the sake-making process, and in beer they work like a special adjunct. That’s how it crosses the line between beer and sake.
MugiOh wow! So it’s basically a genre-hopping pint? The name was dramatic enough, and now the recipe is too!
Hop BroAnd Himitsu Beer is bringing five beers total. There’s Tacchu, Rakko IPA, Doron, and Ise Shima Pearl Lager too, so you get fruity, IPA, lager, and dark-beer options.
MugiRakko IPA already wins on pure cuteness points, and then Doron suddenly sounds mysterious! I want to order them just from the names.
Hop BroThe venue is Yose in Yoyogi 3-chome, running from 12:00 to 23:00. On top of that, Motosaka Shuzo is pouring KINO and KAYA, so it’s not just beer.
MugiSeriously? So you can basically bar-hop through Ise without leaving Tokyo? And food last order is 22:00, drinks 22:30, so they mean business!
Hop BroExactly. I’d start with an early Fruit Scandal pour, then move through the lager and darker stuff, and finish with KINO or KAYA. That’s the clean route.
MugiThat settles it, I want the full tasting course! I need to experience Ise’s summer through my throat immediately!
