Hop BroNews just in: Mie’s RICE HACK BREWERY has unveiled “ORYVIA – Miyabi –.” It’s a new 100% rice craft beer!
MugiWait, what! 100% rice means zero malt!? Isn’t that turning the whole idea of beer upside down?
Hop BroExactly. The ORYVIA brand uses 100% domestically grown rice, and even applies a proprietary brewing method developed from sake-making know-how. And this “Miyabi” is notable for slowly brewing the rice until it reaches a deep amber color.
MugiHold on! What does “brewed into amber color” even mean? Does the rice turn into sunset?
Hop BroGood one. Basically, it’s a design that takes time to draw out umami and color, creating depth from the rice itself. On top of that, they layer multiple aroma hops so the fragrance doesn’t become one-dimensional.
MugiWow! Rice’s softness with hop aroma on top sounds classy in a slightly unfair way!
Hop BroThe released key words are exactly “AROMATIC / CARAMEL / HOPPY.” As a style, “an aromatic, caramel-tinged, hop-forward beer made with 100% rice” feels like the most fitting interpretation.
MugiThat’s a full-bodied amount of information! But at 5.5% alcohol, it sounds easy to pair with food too!
Hop BroThat’s the smart part of the design. It pairs well with Japanese food, and it’s also in a moderate range that lets you enjoy the aroma on its own. Within the series, it’s positioned as a darker, more aromatic expression.
MugiI’ve decided! Tonight we’re toasting with “ORYVIA – Miyabi –”! Hop brother, please give me a guided tasting!
Release Overview
On August 7, 2025, RICE HACK BREWERY published the product page for “ORYVIA – Miyabi –.” According to the official description, the beer is designed to bring out an unprecedented “depth of rice flavor” by slowly brewing the rice until it turns a deep amber color. Its aromatic backbone comes from multiple aroma hops, creating a balance that stays engaging even as you keep drinking.
Flavor Design
The key words shown in the released information are “AROMATIC / CARAMEL / HOPPY.” The direction appears to build on the richness derived from rice, while layering in caramel-like depth and hop aroma. With an alcohol content of 5.5%, it sits in a moderate range that works well both with meals and on its own.
Brewery Background
Based in Mie Prefecture, RICE HACK BREWERY is a brewery under the ORYVIA brand that promotes “100% rice ingredients instead of malt.” In its brand description, it states that it uses a proprietary brewing method developed from sake-making know-how (patent pending) and clearly emphasizes that it brews with 100% domestically produced rice. It also highlights compatibility with Japanese cuisine and the soft drinking impression that comes from rice.
“Miyabi” is positioned within that brewery context as a bottle that leans further toward deeper color and a more aromatic expression of rice umami. As a new release expanding the expressive range of 100% rice craft beer, it is likely to become one of the more noteworthy entries in the series.
