Sakamichi Brewing's 'Yozakura!' to Be Served at Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress on March 29
At Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, Kanagawa, guest beers will be on offer from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on March 29. Sakamichi Brewing's 'Yozakura!' is introduced as a rice lager made with salted cherry leaves and Tsuyuakane plums.
Hop BroYozakura! will be on tap at Progress in Musashi-Kosugi from March 29, 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. It's a guest beer from Sakamichi Brewing, and I like how it packs in spring vibes.
MugiWhoa, just the name Yozakura! already sounds delicious! Does it taste like drinking cherry blossoms? That's a little too romantic, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly, it's a rice lager with Sakura. They've layered the softness of rice with salted cherry leaves and the tartness of Tsuyuakane to make a flavor that pairs with hanami.
MugiWait, what's a whirlpool? That suddenly sounds like a washing machine term!
Hop BroGood catch. Whirlpool addition is the step where, after the boil, you whirl the hot liquid around to blend in aroma and ingredients. That's where they add the salted cherry leaves, so the fragrance comes through nicely.
MugiWow, and with 5.5% alcohol, it sounds easy to drink. Sounds perfect after a spring walk, doesn't it?
Hop BroAnd the shop's post also said the Anniversary Beer was sold out. They thanked the people who came the day before, and since the taps are changing right now, it's smart to check the tap lineup before going.
MugiWhat, chasing the few taps left is so exciting! But if I miss it I'd cry!
Hop BroProgress opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and 1:00 p.m. on weekends, so it's great for starting an early afternoon drinking session. They also do takeaway draft beer, and you can use a plastic cup, a separately sold PET bottle, or a carbonated-beverage-safe container.
MugiWhat, they even have takeout support! Then the walk home is fun too, and you can plan to drink outside!
Hop BroAnd there's also the Nikaryo Canal cherry blossoms nearby, so the route for enjoying spring with a beer in hand is really nice. The outdoor seats welcome pets and have leash hooks, so it's a very dog-walk-friendly spot.
MugiIt's basically perfect hanami beer weather! I feel like I'll drink Yozakura!, look at the cherry blossoms, and then say I want one more!
Guest Beer on March 29
At Craft Beer Bar & Bottle Shop Progress in Musashi-Kosugi, Kanagawa, the bar will be open from 1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on March 29 and is serving Sakamichi Brewing's Yozakura! as a guest beer. Described as a rice lager with sakura, this 5.5% ABV beer is characterized by its gentle tartness from the Japanese plum Tsuyuakane and its pale pink color. It is further said to be finished with salted cherry leaves added in the whirlpool, creating a flavor suited to the hanami season.
The shop's post also included thanks to customers who visited the previous day's event, noting that Sakamichi Brewing's 6th anniversary Anniversary Beer had already been tapped out. Since the other beers are also running low but still on tap, they are encouraging anyone who couldn't come the day before to stop by. With the tap lineup changing right now, it seems best to check the current status before going and enjoy accordingly.
Progress opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and 1:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, making it easy to start drinking early on weekends. It also supports takeaway draft beer; bring a plastic cup, a separately sold PET bottle, or another carbonated-beverage-safe container and you can take beer to go. There are also many spots nearby where you can enjoy beer outdoors, making it a good location for tasting while walking around the cherry blossoms along the Nikaryo Canal. The outdoor seats welcome pets and are equipped with leash hooks, so it's a good fit for stopping by during a walk.
