MugiWait, just hearing "limited can" makes me excited! What kind of event is DOMANNAKA2026?
Hop BroIt's a music event held to mark the 20th anniversary of Annaka City's merger, and they're releasing two beers, SUNRISE and SUNSET, for it.
MugiSunrise and Sunset? Do they taste different depending on morning or evening? That feels romantic, but just being a special-label limited can already sounds strong!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. They brewed it while drawing inspiration from the mountains of Usui, the air, the mist, and even the sun, so it's a beer that reflects the local scenery.
MugiOh, I see! But when you hear "developing the recipe," it suddenly sounds like a research lab! Is brew design really that detailed?
Hop BroExactly. It's the work of fine-tuning the ingredient balance and how the aroma comes through, and here they're basing it on flavors that are already popular at the taproom. So there's also the安心感 of being based on a popular brew.
MugiSo it looks good and the contents are promising too! And it goes on sale on March 28, which is basically right around the corner!
Hop BroIt'll only be sold at the event venue and the Yokokawa Taproom, and with just 500 cans limited, you'll be pretty lucky if you find one.
MugiI don't want to miss that! I want to go to the Yokokawa Taproom and line up SUNRISE and SUNSET for a side-by-side tasting!
