Bibibi. in Daikanyama spotlights Kagawa’s Donzo Brewing
Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi. featured Donzo Brewing in Kotohira, Kagawa, in an Instagram post on June 22. The brewery opened in 2023 near Kotohira-gu and operates as a community-focused brewpub in a renovated former ceramic shop.
Hop BroThis feature from Daikanyama's Bibibi. is a good one. It introduces Nonzo Brewing in Kotohira, Kagawa, in a way that really pulls you in.
MugiWait, from Daikanyama to Kagawa just like that? A beer post that turns into a mini trip?
Hop BroExactly. Nonzo Brewing started in June 2023 right by the approach to Kotohiragu Shrine, and the building used to be a pottery shop.
MugiNo way, a pottery-shop makeover? That already sounds like a place made for good drinks.
Hop BroAnd it's run as a brewpub setup, with brewing equipment and a dining space together, meant to be a hub for the local community.
MugiHold on, what's a brewpub? Is that basically a brewery plus a bar? Because that sounds dangerously efficient.
Hop BroPretty much. They brew on site and pour it there. They usually have six beers, and the signature Kotohira Kolsch is light with a white-wine-like aroma.
MugiKolsch? And white-wine aroma? That is a lot more elegant than the beer in my imagination.
Hop BroKolsch is a pale ale fermented warm, then finished clean and delicate. In plain terms, it's the crisp and easygoing honor student of beer.
MugiOkay, then Kotohira IPA is the loud one, Kotohira Pale Ale is the friendly one, and Shingu Tea Ale is the tea-powered wild card?
Hop BroThat is a solid read. From familiar styles to quirky ones, the range makes you want to choose a beer by place instead of just flavor.
MugiI'm done for. Daikanyama or Kotohira, I don't care which, I want a glass right now!
