Apparently, this is a collaboration with Ise Kadoya. Tap at Kamikaze as Oregon Sakura though I saw bottles of it at the Portland Fair in Hanshin Dept. Store. Deep salmon pink with a pinkish head. A tart sour yoghurty aroma. A bit buttery thin bodied and really tart berry. Lots of cherry and wheat cakes pastry type maltiness.
