IBREW Ginza Introduces Plow Distillery and MINABE CRAFT UMESHU
In a post from CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW Ginza, the gin from Plow Distillery/GOKA Farm, MINABE CRAFT UMESHU, and a craft spirits lineup including Rogue and Yoichi are presented with English alongside Japanese. It is a piece that shows a beer pub stretching its frame.
Hop BroAt CRAFT BEER BAR IBREW in Ginza, they're showing a world beyond beer. This time's highlight feels like the new face of a beer pub, doesn't it?
MugiWhat! Even though it's a beer bar, they line up things other than beer? Going all the way to distilled spirits, that's beyond what I'd expect!
Hop BroExactly. The post introduces Plow Distillery / GOKA Farm gin and even MINABE CRAFT UMESHU, and the English alongside Japanese presentation is stylish too.
MugiWait, what! GOKA Farm gin isn't just gin? Hearing about herbs and tea leaves in the design makes it sound like a science experiment!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It separates the aroma directions with things like No.1 Gin and No.2 Herb Gin, and the way it brings out the herbal character is really subtle.
MugiWow, and MINABE CRAFT UMESHU is interesting too! Three different base types? Does umeshu really change that much?
Hop BroIt does. Mirin-based, sake-based, and awamori-based versions differ quite a bit in how they drink, and the same plum takes on a completely different expression.
MugiWow, that sounds fun to choose from! And they even have Rogue gin and whiskey, plus Yoichi Single Malt Whisky - it really feels like a night-time detour!
Hop BroYeah, there's even a bottle like Rogue Farmhouse Gin Pinot Barrel Finished, so people who like cask-derived nuances will probably love it.
MugiSo this isn't just a place to drink beer, it's a shop where you can even choose a post-dinner drink.
Hop BroExactly. If you're settling in for a relaxed night in Ginza/Yaesu, IBREW Ginza is pretty compelling, like a treasure chest of craft spirits. I'm getting thirsty right now.
MugiTotally! Beer is great, but I want to try the gin and the umeshu too, and tonight feels like bar-hopping time!
