Hop BroHere’s the latest Ginza topic: the new tap opening at Akatsuki Taps Ginza is the organic tea lager "Uruwashi."
MugiWait, you can drink that in Ginza? What even is a tea lager? The name already sounds classy!
Hop Bro"Uruwashi" uses organic Japanese black tea and organic bergamot as adjuncts, combining ingredients from Ureshino in Saga and Shodoshima into an organically minded lager.
MugiWow! Adjuncts sound like magic powder to me. Is this something hard to understand?
Hop BroNot magic, just ingredients other than malt and hops. The tea aroma is layered with citrusy bergamot notes, making it a style that pairs well with meals.
MugiOhhh, that sounds like something that goes perfectly with food! And I heard there are lots of taps open at the same time too. What else is there?
Hop BroThe Dragon Eye series is strong here, with Sky, Magma, Sun, and Snow, plus "Uruwashi." Tokyo Lab also has Akatsuki White and Akatsuki Brown on tap.
MugiThat lineup is too strong! An organic IPL too? My tasting meter is fully pegged!
Hop BroAnd you can take cans home too, so the best part is that you can taste from the tap and buy cans all in one place.
MugiIt’s decided! Today we’ll toast with Uruwashi first in Ginza, then work our way through the Dragon Eye beers one by one!
