Anbai literally means “Salty Plum” and the word is also used to describe the stat of taste and flavor. Ii Anbai means “just right”!
Hitachino Nest Anbai Ale is brewed based on the high alcohol version (7%) of the siganture beer Hitachino Nest White Ale, infused with locally grown green sour plum (ume), and finished up with a pinch of Japanese sea salt (moshio). The balance of sourness, bitterness, comes from the plum and subtle saltiness, great umami taste of the sea salt is “Ii Anbai - just right!”

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey amber colour, quasi no head. Unspecific fruity aroma, hints of red and dark berries, a touch of lemon. Taste is sweet-and-sour, fruity, slightly bitter, unspecific fruitiness - a bit strange and hard to define.
