Ashhead Brewery Holds an Event in Kirishima to Unveil a Rice Pilsner Made with Naturally Grown Rice
Ashhead Brewery in Kirishima City, Kagoshima, will hold an event at TOORINIWA on April 11 featuring Marumamen Kobo. In addition to unveiling a new rice pilsner made with naturally grown rice, special snacks and processed goods will also be sold.
Hop BroMugi-chan, there’s an event in Kirishima unveiling a new product made with naturally grown rice. Ashhead Brewery is doing it at TOORINIWA on April 11, and it’s pretty exciting.
MugiWhat!? A beer event and rice is the star!? A rice pilsner sounds kind of refined and makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. This time they’re using rice from Marumamen Kobo, which grows barley, rice, and beans in the hilly areas of Kirishima. In true Ashhead Brewery fashion, the setup lets you taste the whole background of the place.
MugiHilly areas? Wait, is geography class suddenly starting? Does the background of the land really come through in the taste?
Hop BroIt does. Soil, temperature, wind, and how it’s grown all become part of the ingredient’s character, so even in a pilsner, the umami in every grain really comes through. And this time, Kirishima’s ingredients and the brewery are intersecting in a big way.
MugiWow, just hearing that makes me hungry! And there are special snacks too, not just beer? That’s unfair, it sounds absolutely delicious!
Hop BroThey’re not cutting corners. There’ll also be processed goods from Marumamen Kobo, making it a food event that people who drink and people who eat can both enjoy. Food ends when sold out, so getting there early is the winning move.
MugiWhat, it can sell out!? Then it’s a dash-to-the-venue situation! If it starts at 15:00, I want to move my plans up today...!
Hop BroThe venue is TOORINIWA in Kokubu Chuo, Kirishima City, and payment is cash only, on a cash-on basis. There are also soft drinks, so it’s easy for people who don’t drink and families with children to come in.
MugiWhat, that’s super easy to go to! And if there’s a park next door, it sounds like even people with dogs can relax there~.
Hop BroYeah, drinking a glass made with rice from that land in Kirishima’s air is the best, isn’t it? I just can’t stop thinking, I want to drink it right now.
MugiAgreed! Kirishima air and a rice pilsner sound delicious just imagining them... Then I’ll go for the snacks and end up drinking beer too!
Kagoshima Prefecture’s Kirishima-based Ashhead Brewery will hold an event at TOORINIWA in Kokubu Chuo, Kirishima City, on Saturday, April 11, from 15:00 to 23:00. The star of this event is Marumamen Kobo, which naturally grows barley, rice, and beans in Kirishima’s hilly inland areas. A new rice pilsner made with the group’s rice will be unveiled.
In addition to beer service, the event will also feature Marumamen Kobo’s special snacks, prepared especially for the day. Processed products will also be on sale, making this an event open not only to people coming for the beer, but also to visitors interested in the background of the food and ingredients. Food service will end once items sell out, so if you want to enjoy a meal as well, it would be best to arrive early.
Ashhead Brewery is known for crafting beer rooted in the land of Kirishima. Rather than being just a new product announcement, this event is designed as an opportunity for visitors to directly learn what kind of soil and climate the ingredients are grown in, and what thoughts lie behind that background. In its post, the brewery says it hopes visitors will enjoy the “deliciousness that lives in every grain” together with the beer.
Soft drinks will also be available at the venue, so even people who do not drink alcohol can easily take part. Payment will be cash only, on a cash-on basis. With a park located next door, the venue is also said to be a comfortable place for families with children and guests bringing dogs.
