A post by LANA beer introducing Sapporo Beer’s "Shirohonoka"
The beer pub LANA beer in Mizonokuchi, Kawasaki, introduced Sapporo Beer’s draft brand "Shirohonoka" on Instagram. It is a beer known for the mellow character unique to unfiltered brews and its fine, delicate foam, making it a drink best enjoyed alongside the shop’s careful pouring.
Hop BroToday, I’m talking about the guest beer introduced in LANA beer’s post. A beer pub in Kawasaki’s Mizonokuchi highlighted Sapporo Beer’s draft brand "Shirohonoka," and that’s pretty nice.
MugiWhoa, just being a draft-only brand already makes it feel special! What exactly is Shirohonoka’s main appeal?
Hop BroWhat stands out is its mellow character, which comes from being unfiltered. It’s blended with wheat malt, and it produces a fine, creamy foam, so the mouthfeel is incredibly gentle.
MugiWheat malt means it gets that soft, fluffy feel? Even though it’s beer, it sounds so gentle that it already feels comforting, like a blanket before I even drink it!
Hop BroExactly, that’s the key, and it really leads to a soft mouthfeel. In a place like LANA beer, where pouring matters, even the way the foam forms changes the impression of the taste.
MugiI get it! And LANA beer even promotes itself as Kawasaki’s only beer pourer, right? That’s some serious foam craftsman energy!
Hop BroThat’s right. Their official site says they thoroughly manage quality and cleaning, and that they focus on bringing out the beer’s character through careful pouring. Their permanent taps include Black Label on a swing faucet, SORACHI 1984, and Maruefu, so comparing them is part of the fun.
MugiWait, even within Sapporo the differences are that big? The word swing faucet suddenly feels way too advanced!
Hop BroHere, a swing faucet refers to equipment where the flavor can change depending on how it’s poured. That’s why a beer like Shirohonoka, where the differences in foam and body really stand out, becomes even more interesting when you drink it at a place like LANA beer.
MugiAnd they even have food like gyoza and fried chicken, right? This is way beyond just a quick drink. It’s definitely a place where you end up staying a while!
Hop BroExactly. They’ve got everything from mixed nuts and pickles to proper snacks, so it’s the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back, including for the daily-changing selection. Shirohonoka is definitely one I’d want to savor all the way down to the foam.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, I just want to drink after hearing all that! I want to go see that fine, delicate foam right now!
In a post on LANA beer’s Instagram, Shirohonoka was introduced as a guest beer. Shirohonoka is Sapporo Beer’s draft-only brand, an unfiltered beer blended with wheat malt. Its defining traits are fine, creamy foam and a soft, gentle mouthfeel.
LANA beer is a beer pub in Mizonokuchi, Takatsu Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa, and its official website describes it as having “Kawasaki’s only beer pourer.” The shop clearly states its policy of bringing out the beer’s best qualities through thorough quality control and cleaning, and it is a place where you can enjoy a wide range of beers each day, from major domestic classics to craft beers from Japanese microbreweries.
Its permanent lineup includes Sapporo Black Label Draft Beer (swing faucet), Sapporo Draft Beer SORACHI 1984, and Asahi Draft Beer Maruefu (swing faucet). With Shirohonoka added to the mix, the lineup makes it easy to compare draft beers with different pouring styles and body characteristics. At a shop like LANA beer, which places great importance on pouring, the appeal lies in being able to enjoy even the way the foam forms and the impression on the palate.
The food menu ranges from light snacks such as mixed nuts, pickles, and soy-sauce-marinated cream cheese to fries, gyoza, fried chicken, and assorted sausages. It’s an easy spot to stop by for a beer-forward quick drink or to settle in and enjoy drinks with a meal, and it also offers the fun of following the rotation of guest beers.
