At Danchi Kitchen Tajima in Sakura Ward, Saitama City, the original beer “Danchi Amber UNAWA,” created by club members from recipe to label, has been completed. It will be sold at the May 30 market, offering a distinctive flavor built on eel broth layered with sauce and sansho pepper.
Hop BroIn Sakura Ward, Saitama City, the new amber-style release, Danchi Kitchen Tajima's “Danchi Amber UNAWA,” will appear at the May 30 market.
MugiWait, it even has UNAWA in the beer name? That sounds intense!
Hop BroExactly. The recipe and the labels were both made by the members, so it's truly a beer raised by everyone. Like you'd expect from a brewery in a mixed-use facility, local-made craftsmanship has taken shape exactly as it is.
MugiBut does eel broth really work in beer? Won't it turn into soup?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the umami of eel broth is layered with the sweet-savory sauce and the aroma of sansho. It has a mitarashi-like aftertaste, yet the drink goes down surprisingly refreshingly.
MugiHuh! Won't the sansho aroma make my mouth tingle? I thought I'd end up feeling like a monk in training!
Hop BroIt's not pushed that far, so you're fine. It keeps the lingering feel of Japanese ingredients while balancing it so it still drinks like a proper beer.
MugiAnd if you buy the bottle, you can choose from six label designs, right? Made by kids, that's adorable!
Hop BroExactly, and there's also tap service, so you can compare it with a beer made using the market theme of 'tea.' It's the kind of thing where you get stuck deciding on the label and then stuck again deciding what to compare it with.
MugiThen this is absolutely a drink-it-there situation! At Danchi Kitchen Tajima, I want to look at the labels, check the aroma, and end with a toast together!
