Ryusendo Wakka Announces a 4-Day Pop-Up at Morioka's monaka
Ryusendo Wakka, a brewery-adjacent facility in Iwaizumi Town, will hold a pop-up at Morioka's monaka on four days: May 23, May 24, June 13, and June 14. It plans to serve its in-house brewed "Ryusendo Vibeer" and a spring-limited draft beer.
Hop BroThe news that Ryusendo Wakka is setting up shop in Iwaizumi Town is pretty exciting. It's for four days at Morioka's monaka: May 23-24 and June 13-14.
MugiWhat, just four days! If I spot a rare pop-up like that, I'd run over there!
Hop BroAnd it's not just a stall. It's an attached brewery. Brewing near Ryusendo Cave and making use of the water is a real strength.
MugiDoes Ryusendo Cave water really change the flavor that much? It feels like the water decides a beer's fate!
Hop BroThat's because the brewing water matters a lot, and it comes through in a clean flavor and the way it goes down. Ryusendo Wakka's "Ryusendo Vibeer" is known for its crisp finish.
MugiOhhh! So Ryusendo Vibeer is perfect for people who like something crisp and refreshing!
Hop BroExactly. And this time, in addition to Multigrain Weizen, Strong Ale, and IPA, they'll be serving Harukasumi IPA on draft.
MugiHarukasumi IPA sounds stylish just from the name! But brewed with sake lees? That suddenly gives it a Japanese vibe!
Hop BroBecause it uses sake lees from Ryusen Yaezakura daiginjo, it's not just an IPA. It has a white peach-like aroma layered over spring bitterness. The malt and hops pick up a touch of the sake lees, too.
MugiWhoa, that's definitely my kind of thing! If it lines up with the Tohoku Kizuna Festival and Chagu Chagu Umako in Morioka, the whole city will feel festive!
Hop BroRight. It's a chance to enjoy the personality of Iwaizumi's brewery all in one place in Morioka, so let's go drink there this time. Or rather, let's plan as if we're definitely going.
MugiAgreed! I only read the article, and I already feel like I'm in the mood for my first glass!
