Tap at Bunalow. Pretty pink-orange-purple, hazy. Tart ume, shiso, lemon, fun nose. Leafy shiso flavor, you can almost taste the grit, dry, nice ume plums, great juiciness. Nice sourness without extra lactose.

Ushitora Hiyashi Chuuka Kolsch 5% Opaque straw gold with a dusty fresh milled grainy aroma and light herbal hops. Medium to light bodied and with a crisp finish. The taste matches the aroma but gives more sweetness interpolating with the herbal hops while a scratchy carbonic bite lingers into the aftertaste.

Probably the latest version of this... does RB really need 3 entries for it? Ushitora First Impact American Black IPA Cola black with a light beige head and ruby highlights. The aroma is pine and roasty malts. Medium bodied and super smooth with a soft round mouthfeel. The taste is toasty roasty dark malts, oats and chocolate with soft piney hops. Well balanced and a great example of the style.

Ushitora Ure Goro Double IPA 8.5% 67 IBU Glowing brass I color with a big bold sweet fruity aroma. Slick oily mouthfeel, full. Off and dry finish. The taste is sweet piney stone fruits, honey biscuits and bitter herbal greenery. Quite a nice classic double IPA.

medium brown color. White head. Very malty, smoked cheese and bacon in the nose with faint hops. Malt forward with sufficient bitterness on the palate with medium dry body and layers and layers of smoke. Extraordinarily well executed. Head to head with Fujizakura Rauch a the best in japan with a touch more bitterness but never actually hoppy. Love this --- Beer merged from original tick of #426 Umami on 04 Jul 2024 at 10:11 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7. Original review text: beautiful smoked meat, not too over the top but definitely Smokey with nice cherry character. Excellent to have. On a cold evening on a roof top of a shopping complex in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Marshmallow ippai, but not much choco or graham cracker. Good promotion for s’mores, tho!

Summer orange sour. Good, but drinking this at the same time as a JREAM is not smart. This is a very soft sour. 2nd from left
