San.publichouse, a craft beer pub in Uehara, Shibuya, Tokyo, is featuring “TORIAEZU / Sake Yeast IPA” from Yellow Monkey Brewing in Yokohama, Kanagawa.

The beer is an IPA brewed with sake yeast. According to the source post, its aroma has a ginjo-like quality that rises through the nose and evokes the fruity character of Japanese sake. The combination gives the beer a distinctive profile, adding sake-inspired aromatics to the hop character expected from an IPA.

Dashi umami is also used to add depth to the flavor. The beer brings together Japanese elements—sake yeast and savory dashi—while remaining approachable rather than overly complicated. The brewery’s concept is presented as a beer packed with challenges, yet ultimately “simply delicious,” making its balance of aroma, umami, and body worth exploring.

San.publichouse is a beer pub in the Yoyogi-Uehara area, where guests can enjoy domestic craft beer in a relaxed neighborhood setting.
