Enjoy Japanese Craft Beer “Okuyamato Beer”│Japan Touring

I learned a new way to drink beer.
Until now, I drank it with a gulp and enjoyed it as it went down my throat, but now I’m looking forward to touching unique beers and slowly savoring their unique flavors like wine.

Okuyamato Beer Taproom

Store

It’s right next to Roadside Station Udaji Ouda. (About 30 seconds on foot?)
Local beer shop.
Inside the store is a counter made of natural wood and a tank that brews beer in the back? A stylish faucet that grows from the wall.
BGM flows and the atmosphere is calm.

Drinking and driving is strictly prohibited.

If you come by car, you will have to have someone else drive you on your way home.

People who drink it will turn into ballast that worsens the power-weight ratio, so we need gratitude. *Although I have not used it, it seems that you can also stay overnight.

Craft beer menu

Each glass has a size (L/M/S) and a set that allows you to choose your favorite 3 types.

 ① Aroma White
②Herbal Ale
③ Spice Dark
④ Angelica
⑤ Medic Bitter
⑥ Masala Blossom
⑦Ancient Rice Beer
⑧ Love Field
⑨ Kiwi Sour
⑩ Sauna Beer Saison
※The lineup may change depending on the season.

A set comparing only 3 types, this time from the left, we got ② Herbal Ale (②), Spice Dark (③), and Medic Bitter (⑤).
Herbal ale (2) has a good balance of richness, aroma, and bitterness.
Spice Dark (③) is a dark beer with a strong bitterness.
Medic Bitter (⑤) was fragrant with Earl Gray tea leaves and had a refreshing taste.

Herbal tea is recommended for soft drinks.
You can enjoy the vivid and transparent red color and the pleasant scent.

The meal menu includes seasonal vegetable beer fritters, venison ajillo, venison roast, cheese platter, etc.
Also, there is keema curry.

Of course, if you drink local beer, you can’t drive, so it’s not suitable for touring.
However, they are also sold in bottles, so you can take them home with you.
The official website also lists stores that sell beer in bottles, so please refer to it.
