The beer pub "Enibrew" in Nakamozu, Sakai City, Osaka, is holding its annual "Sakura Festival," decorating the interior with a large cherry blossom tree. It has lined up four cherry blossom-themed beers and spring sake, and is also introducing its stock of more than 80 bottled beers and draft beer sold by measure.
Hop BroSakai City's Nakamozu beer pub, Enibrew's Sakura Festival is looking great. They decorated the interior with a big cherry blossom tree, so you can drink while having an indoor hanami.
MugiWhat, indoor hanami!? And they even have a Sakura Beer Selection? That's basically a spring dream!
Hop BroYeah. The first one I'm curious about is Isekadoya Beer's Haru no Sasayaki. It layers the floral aroma of cherry blossom flower yeast with berry- and mango-like hop aromas, plus the sweetness of white grape juice.
MugiFlower yeast? What is that? This suddenly sounds like a science class, but beer can be made with flower yeast?!
Hop BroTo put it simply, they're using a kind of yeast that helps fermentation move along. That's why the aroma comes out in such a distinctive way, and the spring-like floral brightness kind of floats up. That's what makes it interesting.
MugiI see! Then Akita's Sakura Sakihokore is tempting too! A pinkish look means it wins the moment you see it!
Hop BroThis one uses Akita Bijin yeast and Akita rice Sakihokore, and its strengths are a floral aroma and freshness. Because it has the gentleness of rice, the fact that it leans into a clean spring taste is a nice point.
MugiAnd I heard Sankt Gallen Sakura tastes like sakura mochi, so my brain is already being taken over by wagashi!
Hop BroWith Takato cherry blossoms and leaves, plus sake rice Rakufumai, it really feels like a classic sakura beer. Niwaji Brewery's Ouka Ranman also has a beautiful balance of sweet aroma and refreshing bitterness, so it can't be missed.
MugiNot only is there spring sake, but they also have red sea bream and garland chrysanthemum rolls, which is strong! And if it's only a 2-minute walk from Nakamozu Station, it makes you want to go have a spring drink right now!
