Yuuyake Beeren in Sendai Highlights Kaneku Brewery's Shimokita Hop Pilsner
Yuuyake Beeren, a beer pub a five-minute walk from Sendai Station, highlighted Kaneku Brewery's Shimokita Hop Pilsner on Instagram. Brewed with 100% fresh hops grown in Saimura, Aomori, the beer fits the pub's East Tohoku-focused food-and-beer lineup.
Hop BroThere's a pour in Sendai worth talking about. Yuyake Mugishuen is serving the guest beer Shimokita Hop Pilsner, and it really shows Kaneku Brewing's ingredient-first style.
MugiWait, 100% fresh hops? What is that supposed to taste like? The name alone sounds ridiculously fresh!
Hop BroPretty different, actually. The hops are grown in Sai Village in Shimokita, Aomori, and the beer leans into the charm of a wet-hop brew.
MugiWhoa, wet-hop brew sounds like a wizard spell! So... does it smell like you crash-landed in a field?
Hop BroThat's overly dramatic, but basically yes. It means you get a just-picked aroma more clearly. And since the style is a pilsner, the mouthfeel stays light.
MugiOhhh, pilsner means easygoing? Big aroma plus a smooth drink sounds like a summer champion to me!
Hop BroAnd that's exactly why it fits the pub. Yuyake Mugishuen pairs Tohoku beer with food, so Tohoku ingredient dishes make this pour shine even more.
MugiThat's dangerously unfair! If their signature menchi katsu and Ishinomaki fish carpaccio show up, my self-control is leaving after the first sip!
Hop BroPlus it's five minutes from Sendai Station, with counter seats, table seating, and even private rooms, so it's an easy-to-use setup whether you're solo or with a group.
MugiI'm fully sold now. I want this immediately, and I want to sit there grinning while I test that Shimokita hop aroma against the food.
Hop BroThat's the right approach. At Yuyake Mugishuen, with Tohoku flavors together, I'd probably fail at stopping after one glass too.
