Hop BroYoyogi's Yose is hosting Ise, Summer Triangle on July 4. It's a one-day mashup of Ise beer, sake, and yakitori.
MugiWhat! A love-triangle title for a beer event? How dramatic is this lineup supposed to get!?
Hop BroThe headliner is a Himitsu Beer and Motosaka Shuzo collab called Fruit Scandal. It's a fruit ale, and this event gets the early pour.
MugiOkay, but fruit ale makes my brain picture sparkling juice. And a brewery teaming up with a sake maker? What are we even drinking!?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It uses homegrown Koshihikari rice from Himitsu Beer plus sake lees from Motosaka Shuzo. Sake lees are the flavorful remains after pressing sake, so they add aroma and depth.
MugiNo way, that's basically a summer festival in a glass. The name says scandal, but the ingredients sound ridiculously cooperative!
Hop BroAnd Yose isn't stopping at one beer. Rakko IPA joins in too, along with Touchu, Doron, and Ise-Shima Pearl Lager. That's a serious tasting lineup.
MugiHold on, what is Pearl Lager supposed to be? My current IPA knowledge is just 'the hoppy one with opinions.'
Hop BroIn simple terms, IPA pushes hop aroma forward, while lager is about clean, crisp drinkability. So the range goes from expressive to refreshing without getting boring.
MugiAnd that's before the food? A three-skewer yakitori set plus an Ise-Shima delicacy trio? My stomach needs a scheduling app.
Hop BroMotosaka Shuzo is also pouring KINO and KAYA, and with a 12 p.m. start plus late last orders, you can settle in from daylight to night.
MugiThat's it, I'm in. Let's toast with Fruit Scandal and chase beer, sake, and yakitori all in one run!
