Hop BroToday's beer news: limited service on November 21 means NIKIYA FARM & BREWERY is coming to yae_cafe.
MugiWhoa! That's huge! And it says a limited beer made with sansho too, so I had to read that twice!
Hop BroThe microbrewery NIKIYA in Niki Town, Hokkaido, really does a great job with local character in its brewing, and this time they're coming in strong as a guest beer.
MugiWhat is that! Sansho is a Japanese seasoning, right? What kind of beer style does that count as?
Hop BroIt's basically in the spice direction. The sansho's volatile aroma comes through and leaves a crisp finish.
MugiEek, technical terms! So you mean the aroma comes in softly and then it fades out cleanly at the end?
Hop BroExactly right! And since there were about 10 bottles left at the time of the post, it's the kind that disappears if you wait too long.
MugiThen we'd better hurry! The hours are lunch from 11:00 to 16:00, right? It's great that we can go in the daytime!
Hop BroAnd it's open from 17:00 to 21:00 in the evening too, with coffee service as well, so it'll be a day to enjoy food and drinks across the board.
MugiIt's settled then! First a glass of the sansho beer, pair it with some food, and let's meet at yae_cafe tonight!
The brewery beer from the microbrewery NIKIYA FARM & BREWERY in Niki Town, Hokkaido, was announced as being served at yae_cafe on Friday, November 21. In the post, the brewery's beer was introduced as part of the craft beer selection, and the limited-batch sansho beer was highlighted as the featured label.
The day-of notice lists lunch service from 11:00 to 16:00 and evening bar service from 17:00 to 21:00. Coffee service was also announced, making it a day where guests can enjoy both food and drinks. Even for visitors coming specifically for the beer, the schedule makes it easy to combine a stop with a meal or a cafe visit.
NIKIYA FARM & BREWERY is a microbrewery based at 10-105-4 Minamimachi, Niki Town, Yoichi District, Hokkaido. Its strength lies in the distinctive character that comes from small-scale brewing rooted in the local area, and guest pours like this offer the appeal of discovering limited beers that differ from the regular lineup. In particular, a beer made with sansho is a style that raises expectations for how its aroma opens up and how cleanly it finishes. If you pair it with food, pairings that make use of herbal and spicy notes should be especially interesting.
Because the post says there are "about 10 bottles left" at the time of posting, early arrival is the practical move if you want one. Anyone in Sapporo who wants to check NIKIYA's current profile in a glass will want to keep this opportunity on their radar.
