Hop BroAt the beer pub Beer Space On Tap in Kobe's Motomachi, there was an interesting new tap. Nara Brewing's "UNDERWATER : LUMINOUS" went on, and that day a total of seven taps were lined up.
MugiWow, seven kinds? And the name "UNDERWATER : LUMINOUS" sounds like it must be glowing or something, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroExactly. This is a SAKE YEAST BEER. It uses sake yeast, so it has that delicate sake-like character, but it still lands squarely as beer. That's very much Nara Brewing's style.
MugiSake yeast? Wait, is it beer or sake? My brain is already gurgling with fermentation!
Hop BroTo put it simply, different yeasts bring out different aromas and flavors. This one is designed around aromas like red-fleshed watermelon, honeyed apples, and ramune, with gentle sweetness and acidity layered on top.
MugiWatermelon, apples, and ramune? That's basically summer festival stalls! And it has acidity too? I really want to try it!
Hop BroOn top of that, with 6% ABV and 0 IBU, it's not the kind of beer that pushes with bitterness. It's more of a beer that goes down lightly, the kind of easy-drinking pint you want in springlike warmth.
MugiIBU 0 means it's not bitter!? Then I might be fine with that. So it's acidity doing the heavy lifting!
Hop BroRight, and the taps that day were a pretty fun lineup too. There was the gose-style "CGS-01 Contemporary Gose," a fragrant ale, and even the individuality of sake yeast, so the tasting never really stops.
MugiI like that it's a place that's easy to enter even if you're alone. Just dropping by in Kobe's Motomachi and choosing one beer based on your mood sounds perfect!
Hop BroAnd apparently "Sakura Hanaranman" is close to being kicked, so people who are interested should hurry. Nights like this are fun because you get to meet a beer that exists only right now.
MugiNow I completely want to go drink there! I'll start with "UNDERWATER : LUMINOUS" and experience a sweet-and-sour beer for myself!
Beer Space On Tap, located in the basement level of Kobe Plaza Hotel on Motomachi-dori in Kobe, is a smoke-free beer pub that's easy for solo visitors to step into. In the springlike warmth, the tap list is set up so you feel like casually tilting back a glass.
The new tap that day was Nara Brewing's "UNDERWATER : LUMINOUS." This SAKE YEAST BEER has 6% ABV and 0 IBU, and is part of the sake-collaboration "UNDERWATER" series. According to the post, it offers aromas reminiscent of red-fleshed watermelon, honeyed apples, and ramune, and when you take a sip, gentle sweetness, a clear acidity, and light carbonation come together. Its defining feature is that it retains the delicacy of sake while finishing as an easy-drinking beer without any heaviness.
The day's "Today's on Tap" featured these seven beers:
- Nara Brewing / UNDERWATER : LUMINOUS
- NOVORU / Warau
- ONE's Brewery / CGS-01 Contemporary Gose
- ISINOMAKI HOP WORKS / Maki Kaze Ale
- OUR BREWING / Magic Flavour
- ONE's Brewery / Smoke Beer
- Tamba-ji Brewery / Sakura Hanaranman
