Hop BroTono Brewing has tapped the draft of Sanriku Ginger Golden. It's a seasonal beer made with Tono-grown IBUKI and "Sanriku Ginger," ginger from Rikuzentakata.
MugiWhat! A combination of hops and ginger? It already sounds like it would warm you up before you even drink it!
Hop BroAnd it does. The style is a golden ale, and its aroma is light, with a dry, crisp finish. It puts the refreshing character of the ginger front and center while still going down easy.
MugiWhat does dry even mean? It sounds like laundry, but what does it mean for beer?
Hop BroPut simply, it means it doesn't leave much sweetness behind. It doesn't feel sticky after you drink it, and it finishes clean in the mouth, so it's easy to pair with food.
MugiI see! And the article said it pairs well with any dish, right? Then it should work with Japanese food too, and probably pasta as well!
Hop BroExactly. Because the ginger notes aren't too strong, it goes especially well with Japanese cuisine, and it also pairs nicely with dishes that use herbs and spices. The IBUKI character and Sanriku Ginger really work together well.
MugiWow, Tono Brewing also has that motto, from the land of hops, right? Using local ingredients makes me want to support them!
Hop BroTono is a place with a 50-year history of hop cultivation. The water, surrounded by the Tono Three Mountains, is another strength, and you can see their open approach to beer-making with local producers in this beer too.
MugiIt doesn't feel like just a novelty beer; it has the scent of the region. If it's draft, the aroma should really come through, and now I really want to try it!
Hop BroYeah, you want to enjoy that rising aroma with a glass in hand. This is the kind of beer that makes you want to toast with Tono's golden ale tonight.
MugiIt's decided! Let's go check out that refreshing ginger. If it goes with food, we might be able to get through the whole night with this beer!
Tono Brewing is serving its seasonal "Sanriku Ginger Golden" on draft. The ingredients include Tono-grown hop IBUKI and "Sanriku Ginger," ginger from Rikuzentakata City. The brewery says it has crafted a dry, crisp golden ale while bringing out the refreshing aroma derived from the ginger.
Based in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture, the brewery operates under the slogan "From the land of hops to the land of beer." On its official website, it says that, backed by rich water sources surrounded by the Tono Three Mountains and a 50-year history of hop cultivation, it aims to create open beer-making in which brewers, producers, and local residents share knowledge and ideas. Its commitment to making the most of local ingredients is reflected in this beer as well.
"Sanriku Ginger Golden" is notable for its light aroma and clean, refreshing drinking profile. In the post, it is introduced as "a beer that pairs well with any dish," making it easy to use as a beer with meals. Because the ginger notes are not overpowering and harmonize with the character of the hops, it seems likely to pair well not only with Japanese cuisine but also with dishes that use herbs and spices. Including the aroma that rises from draft beer, it can be enjoyed as a regional beer that feels distinctly Tono Brewing.
