Hop BroToday, Uchu Brewing's new release is the hot one. Cans of 'MATARIKI' have arrived at the directly operated taproom in Toranomon Hills, so you can drink it there too.
MugiWhoa! MATARIKI sounds powerful just from the name! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is a New Zealand IPA. It uses Nelson Sauvin and Rakau from Freestyle Hops, so the hop character really stands out.
MugiNelson Sauvin? Rakau? Wow, those names already sound cosmic! What kind of magic is that?
Hop BroNot magic exactly, but the personality of the hops. Nelson Sauvin tends to bring white grape-like and tropical notes, while Rakau often adds a softer fruitiness. Together, they make it feel bright and expressive.
MugiNice! And it says dry and refreshing, so it sounds like it would lift your mood even on a rainy day!
Hop BroExactly. The official post described it as having citrus and tropical nuances. Combined with the bright label, it looks like the kind of beer that makes you want to drink it just from the appearance alone.
MugiAnd the Toranomon Hills shop has a great tap lineup too! So many options that it becomes hard to choose, which is the worst kind of problem!
Hop BroIn fact, besides 'MATARIKI,' they had QDH and SMOOTHIE styles on tap too. They even had 'KONBINI IPA' and 'Obsidian Tower QDH TIPA,' so it was Uchu through and through.
MugiWhoa, and bringing your own food is allowed too! Even without food service, it's great that you can relax and pair it with whatever you like!
Hop BroUchu Brewing says it aims to deliver an experience that makes your heart tremble, and this MATARIKI is exactly that kind of beer. I'd love to grab a can in Toranomon and enjoy the aroma in the taproom too.
MugiNow I really want to drink it! Let's go toast in Toranomon, Hop brother!
