MugiBeer with sansho pepper? Is it a super spicy beer?
Hop BroNot at all. It starts with a white ale and uses locally grown sansho berries from Umeda, Kiryu.
MugiDoes “white ale” mean it is actually pure white?
Hop BroIt can look lightly hazy, but it is not milk-white. Wheat often gives it a soft, light character.
MugiOoh, with sansho that sounds like a refreshing Japanese-style beer!
Hop BroExactly. Gentle citrus notes arrive first, then a soft sansho aroma appears toward the finish.
MugiSoft is reassuring! So the pepper does not go wild in your mouth?
Hop BroRight. Its restrained spice should pair nicely with grilled dishes, meat, or light, fresh appetizers.
MugiKiryu ingredients served from an Ota tap—what a lovely taste of Gunma!
