Broihaus Onuma Brewery to release "Kankoma Craft Beer" in barley wine style

Broihaus Onuma Brewery, known for its brand of Onuma Beer in Nanai-cho, will release a craft beer in the "barley wine" style called "Kankoma Craft Beer" on April 1.

Barley wine is a high-alcohol beer that uses a large amount of barley and is aged for a long time, with a characteristic fragrance and a rich and aromatic flavor. It is common to age it further at home, similar to wine.

Kankoma Craft Beer is inspired by the cherry blossoms that bloom in the Komagatake area, using dried cherry blossom leaves as a powder for fragrance. It is 10% alcohol and aged for about four months before shipping. Its features include a "flavor of malt and a strong bitterness" with a hint of cherry blossom mochi. The label, reminiscent of wine, was designed by a designer living in Nanai-cho.

The beer was jointly developed by the "Kankomagatake Regional Tourism Council," consisting of the three towns of Nanai, Mori, and Shikabe, which surround Hokkaido's Mount Komagatake, and Japan Airlines Hakodate Branch, as part of their regional specialty product development using subsidies from the "Signboard Product Creation Project" of the Japan Tourism Agency. Broihaus Onuma Brewery will only sell the beer at four roadside stations in the three towns. The beer is limited to about 650 bottles of 720 milliliters each, priced at 2,500 yen per bottle.
