Morita Kinshachi Beer

NAGOYA AKAMISO LAGER

ABV:6%

STYLE:Dark Lager

URL:kinshachi.jp/

Valuing community identity and creating a product with the potential to become a local specialty item were our top priorities when developing this beer. That's why, as the name suggests, we incorporated Aichi Prefecture's famous red (aka) miso into the recipe. The umami of the soybean-based miso melds with the umami of the malt for a well-balanced, distinctively smooth flavor.

Iwate Kura Beer

JAPANESE HERB ALE SANSHO

ABV:5%

STYLE:Ale

URL:sekinoichi.co.jp/beer/

We were curious whether a Japanese herb could replace some of the traditional hops in beer, so we developed this craft beer brewed with sansho. Happily, it turns out that the refreshing sensation of Japanese peppercorns harvested in the mountains of Ichinoseki make beer even more delicious.

Iwate Kura Beer

OYSTER STOUT

ABV:7%

STYLE:Stout

URL:sekinoichi.co.jp/beer/

A dark beer brewed with the shells and meat of oysters. Oyster stout was pioneered in the UK based on the idea that dark beer and oysters go exquisitely well together--but the combination is also scientifically proven to improve yeast activity. Our version melds rich stout and delicious oysters from Hirota Bay on the Sanriku coast.
