Hop BroAt the beer pub BOKKE in Matsuyama, Sankt Gallen’s spring-limited beer Sakura has been tapped. Being able to drink it while looking at the moat-side cherry blossoms is such a spring victory move, right?
MugiWait, a beer you drink while looking at cherry blossoms!? That basically makes it the star of hanami, and the dango become the side act!
Hop BroAnd it’s not just vaguely cherry-blossom flavored. It’s seasoned with the flowers and leaves from Takato in Ina, and it aims for the aroma and sweetness of domyoji sakura mochi.
MugiDomyoji sakura mochi is that chewy kind, right? So even though it’s beer, it smells like a sweet snack?
Hop BroExactly. Plus, it uses 20% wheat malt to soften the mouthfeel, and it also includes the sake rice Rakufubai, so it drinks with a fluffy, rounded feel.
MugiWait, rice in beer!? That’s way too much information, and my brain has turned into a wagashi factory!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It’s a 5% spring beer, so the balance is light and easy to drink while you enjoy the aroma.
MugiAnd BOKKE is close to Nishi-Horibata Station, right? If it has counter seats and is easy to enter alone, I’d want to stop by after work!
Hop BroExactly. Since it’s non-smoking and easy to walk into, it’s also perfect for a detour before or after cherry-blossom viewing.
MugiIt’s nice that you can enjoy it with the cherry blossoms even on a rainy day. I already feel like going out for a spring pint today!
Hop BroThen it’s settled. While looking at the moat-side cherry blossoms, let’s first check the way the aroma rises, then slowly savor the gentle sweetness.
MugiYeah, today it’s beer over dango! Let’s enjoy sakura spring time together at BOKKE!
