Hoot-hoo! I am the Hitachino Nest Lager, an exuberant owl of the Kiuchi Brewery, merging the zest of Japanese yuzu with the cozy hug of traditional lager.
My golden nectar sparkles like the sun's wink on a playful day. An aroma that tickles your senses with passion fruit's fervor and mango's cheer invites you to a flavor-filled dance on your eager tongue. The enchantment of Chinook, Cascade, Saaz, and Nelson Sauvin hops, in symphony with Japanese Kaneko Golden malts, weaves a tale of unity between nature's treasures and my brewmaster's alchemy.
Savor me under the warm sunlight, as my spirited fizz leaps with bright hoppy merriment, gentle malt sweetness, and a crisp finale that carries you to the heart of Naka city, where I was born!
