Taru Taru adds five 750ml bottles from Kyufuku Brewing Honjima
Taru Taru, a beer pub in Takamatsu's Kawaramachi area, has highlighted five 750ml bottles from Kyufuku Brewing Honjima, the small family-run brewery on Honjima in the Seto Inland Sea. The post frames them as beers that can be enjoyed now or kept for later.
Hop BroThis is the one I wanted to talk about today: Taru Taru in Takamatsu just brought in five 750ml bottles from Kyufuku Brewing Honjima.
MugiWhat! So it is not just for drinking at the pub, it also works as a gift for your family? That is weirdly thoughtful!
Hop BroExactly. The brewery is a husband-and-wife operation on Honjima, one of the Setouchi islands, and these beers really show Kyufuku Brewing Honjima's style. You can enjoy them now or age them a bit.
MugiNo way! But the names are already chaos. 059 Fuku Setouchi Gose sounds like I need to pronounce it correctly before I am allowed to drink it!
Hop BroThe lineup is 059 Fuku Setouchi Gose with oval kumquat, 062 Fuku Citrus Saison, 063 Fuku Strawberry Gose, 065 Fuku Yonagi, and 066 Fuku Setouchi Gose with Setoda lemon. It is a set of five distinct bottles.
MugiWait, hold on, what is a gose? Is that a beer style or a magic spell you cast with salt?
Hop BroHere is the simple version: gose is a style built around saltiness and acidity, so it drinks like a salty-tart refresher. Then they layer in things like kumquat or Setoda lemon.
MugiThat sounds dangerously summery! Then what about Citrus Saison? Saison suddenly sounds like a fashion magazine.
Hop BroSaison usually means light, dry, and lively, and this one has a lime-like lift. Then 065 Fuku Yonagi brings caramel from roasted malt plus a bitter edge, so it feels much more settled and deep.
MugiWow, that is a huge range for one brewery. Now I want to stand outside Taru Taru staring at the taps, then leave hugging a bottle because this totally makes me want a tasting flight.
Taru Taru, a beer pub in Takamatsu's Kawaramachi district, highlighted bottled beers from Kyufuku Brewing Honjima in an Instagram post. The brewery is a small family-run operation on Honjima in the Seto Inland Sea, and the post presents the bottles as gifts as well as beers that are pleasant to drink now or age for a while.
The lineup features five 750ml bottles:
- 059福 Setouchi Gose w/ Oomi Kinkan
- 062福 Citrus Saison
- 063福 Strawberry Gose
- 065福 Yogan
- 066福 Setouchi Gose w/ Setoda Lemon
Local ingredients stand out across the range, including kumquat, lime, strawberry, and lemon. The Gose releases lean on a clean salt-and-acid balance, the Saison brings a lighter citrus-driven profile, and Yogan adds caramel and bitter notes from roasted malt. It is a compact but varied lineup that shows how much range one brewery can pack into a single set of bottles.
Taru Taru itself is a small pub with visible taps, a wooden counter, and a setup that works both for a quick standing drink and a longer sit-down. With a tap list focused on domestic craft beer and a strong Kagawa connection, the new Kyufuku bottles fit naturally into the bar's direction.
