Pours dark amber, bit of foam. Aroma has some hop freshness but what I am really looking for is "egoma". Not that I know how it should smell. I know what is "coma" (sesame) and I know that in Fukushima they feed "egoma" to pigs to get "egoma" flavored pork. This beer really has some sesame aroma, nicely balanced and not too overpowering. IPA hop character is maybe not so strong but the beer is fresh nicely drinkable and fully enjoyable. Maybe some herbal tea flavours instead of hops, genmaicha? Anyway, this beer went down fast. I applaud for the use of local ingredients and for doing that in a skilful way.
