Welcome to NIGHT OWL: How was the Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival?
In this episode, Kazunori Kosuge, manager of NIGHT OWL in Ebisu, and beer concierge Kognee start with seasonal greetings, report on the newly launched YouTube channel for the show, and enjoy a lively tasting of a special "mead."
You can now enjoy the show on YouTube.
We have finally launched our video streaming, something we had long discussed as a way to create lasting content. Beyond audio, you can now enjoy the visual experience of us chatting while drinking, including close-ups of the beer labels we discuss. Along with our past archives, it is now easier to dive deeper into the culture of beer and spirits.
We tasted a truly unique mead.
During the show, we sampled a mead called "Liquid Way Mead," carefully crafted at a brewery in Nagano Prefecture. It is incredibly unique in its use of pineapple and juniper berries alongside honey. Our conversation captures just how refreshing it tastes and the sophisticated botanical notes it offers.
The figure on the label catches the eye.
While tasting, we got excited about the bottle's label design. The label features a motif from a historical painting, and that stern expression is quite memorable. Beyond the bottle's aesthetics, there is a fascinating story behind the brewing process of this brand. Please listen to the full episode to hear the rest.
