Hop BroToday's topic is Sansho Jasmine on tap. At taki in Shibuya Sakuragaokacho, T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY's limited lager was tapped on August 19.
MugiWhat! Sansho and jasmine in a beer? That sounds like a sushi counter and a flower shop collided!
Hop BroThat is exactly why it's interesting. It's officially Sansho Jasmine Lager, with citrusy sansho aroma and a jasmine-like finish layered into one really defined pint.
MugiOh wow! But what is a lager exactly? I hear the word all the time, but I still nod like I totally know.
Hop BroPut simply, it's a clean fermentation style. It's usually brewed cooler and slower, and this one drinks lightly, so it fits perfectly as a first glass.
MugiGot it! So that ABV of 4.0% and IBU 20 are not exam scores after all?
Hop BroImportant detail there. IBU 20 means the bitterness stays pretty gentle, and with ABV at 4.0%, it's easygoing enough to pair with food.
MugiSo taki isn't just about sake, it also has beer that works with Japanese food? That lineup feels unfairly strong.
Hop BroExactly. And since it's on the 3rd floor of Johnson Building in Shibuya, it's an easy stop after work when you want to sit down and really follow the aroma.
MugiJust hearing that makes it my first-drink candidate. A little sansho spark, then a soft jasmine trail? That sounds dangerously good.
Hop BroThat is the charm of limited brewing. It doesn't come in shouting; it quietly makes you want another sip, which is perfect for a calmer night in Shibuya.
MugiI get it now! Tonight's Shibuya plan is basically decided. I absolutely want to go to taki and drink that glass.
