A beer made with 100% Hokkaido-grown ingredients.
Captivated by this “All-Hokkaido” concept, I purchased this rare gem with great excitement.
What makes this beer truly special is the uncompromising commitment to its origins:
It uses 100% hops from Kamifurano and 100% barley and wheat from Abashiri.
As I poured it into the glass, the refreshing aroma of freshly picked hops awakened my senses.
With the first sip, the floral notes of the hops blossomed in my mouth, leaving a pleasant, lingering scent as it traveled through the nose.
The flavor was crisp and fresh, reminiscent of the vast, open landscapes of Hokkaido.
While drinking, I realized that this beer is like a fine wine—a beverage meant to be appreciated for its local character.
Just as wine varies depending on the producer and the soil, this beer directly reflects the “terroir” of Hokkaido.
The price of 460 yen and its delicate, modest head might differ from the standard beers we are used to.
However, this is perhaps the “aesthetic of craft beer”—prioritizing the raw beauty of the ingredients over mass-market perfection.
It was a profound experience that made me rediscover the depth of Japanese beer culture.
It felt like drinking the very essence of Hokkaido.
Whether it’s a night spent reminiscing about your travels or a small reward for yourself, why not indulge in the贅沢 (luxury) of Hokkaido’s natural bounty?
