Hello from the land of the rising sun! I am the enigmatic owl of the Hitachino family, known as the Red Rice Ale – a brew woven from Japanese red rice, whispers of strawberries, and the mystical spirit of sake.
My appearance, a hazy pink reminiscent of a shy sunset, graces your glass. As you take a sip, my complexity unfolds, a delicate balance of sake-like intricacy and malt's tender sweetness, ending in a touch of playful bitterness. Crafted with Hallertauer hops and flaked barley malt, I carry the essence of the Asamurasaki red rice's age-old secrets, echoing the traditions of my beloved Naka city.
Nestled in the heart of Japan's Tochigi Prefecture lies a hidden gem that has been captivating beer enthusiasts and sake connoisseurs for generations: the Kiuchi Brewery. With a history dating back over two centuries, this family-owned brewery seamlessly blends the rich traditions of Japanese craftsmanship with a fervent commitment to innovation. It is no surprise then, that the esteemed brewery brews Hitachino Nest - Japan’s most recognisable craft beer brand!
