Manchin Brewing introduces a Sasazuka Bowl collaboration rice lager at the Hokuto complex
Manchin Brewing in Hokuto, Yamanashi introduced a rice lager and cans of "Manchin Rice Two Go" at the complex facility MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO. The rice lager is a collaboration with Sasazuka Bowl and is characterized by its dry, rice-driven finish.
Hop BroToday, Manchin Brewing's post from Yamanashi's Hokuto is interesting. At the MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO complex, they lined up and introduced the collaboration rice lager and another canned beer.
MugiWhat! Two kinds? I get that the Rice Lager has rice in it, but I can't imagine what it tastes like at all!
Hop BroThat's the point, and it's a collaboration with Sasazuka Bowl. Adding rice makes it more sharp, meaning the finish comes through cleanly and makes it easier to drink.
MugiWhat does sharp even mean? Isn't that kind of a cool way to say it? And this dry drinking profile thing doesn't mean it tastes like the desert in your mouth, right?
Hop BroDon't worry, it won't turn into a desert. It means the sweetness doesn't linger and it drinks cleanly, so it's a lively finish that's easy to pair with food.
MugiThen it sounds like it would go with rice too! And that other one, Manchin Rice Two Go - the name alone makes me curious. Just how rice-obsessed is it?
Hop BroPretty serious. It's a very local rice can made with two go of pesticide-reduced Koshihikari harvested from a rice field right near Manchin Hokuto.
MugiTwo go of rice? Now I can't tell whether it's beer or rice anymore! It feels like they packed in the whole local landscape, which is kind of romantic.
Hop BroExactly. Manchin Brewing is a complex-facility brewery that crosses brewing, dining, and retail in the rural landscape of Hokuto, Yamanashi, so this kind of expression really suits it.
MugiAnd the post said the cherry blossoms were in full bloom too, right? A place with beer, dumplings, and art all in one spot - I'd probably never want to leave!
Hop BroExactly. What I like is how Sasazuka Bowl's sense of play and Hokuto's atmosphere both come through in the can. This is definitely one that makes you want a drink right now.
MugiYeah, that's settled for today! Let's toast with Rice Lager, and while we're at it, look at Manchin Rice Two Go and appreciate the value of rice!
