発酵調味料を生かしたおつまみと、豊富なクラフトビールが揃うバー。 : HAKKO YAMANOUCHI

I visited HAKKO YAMANOUCHI near Yudanaka Station in the hot spring town of Yamanouchi Town, as they have a wide selection of rare craft beers. 《Trial Taste》 ○AJB BROKENBANES IPA 1,400 yen (1 pint) AJB is a craft beer founded by a British husband and his Japanese wife in Nozawa Onsen Village. It has a deep orange color and is tropical and fruity. It also has a strong hop aroma. As an IPA beer, it is easy to drink with little peculiar taste. (*´ー｀*) ●Roasted walnuts and balsamic 500 yen The aroma and sweetness of roasted leeks, the sweetness and richness of walnuts. The aroma of balsamic is a good accent. A complex and strong aroma that stimulates the taste buds and nose. Delicious (*´ー｀*) The flavor is moderately strong and goes perfectly with craft beer. ●Today's Chicken Liver 380 yen Chicken liver with green onions and white sesame seeds. It comes with just two chicken hearts and a kanzuri liquor from Niigata. This also has a rich flavor and is delicious. (*´ー｀*) The kanzuri is spicy, so you can add it to your liking. ○Sailor's Grave Wild Strawberry Fruit Sour 1,000 yen This was a self-service selection from the refrigerator. When you tell the owner that you want to drink this, he will prepare a glass for you. Although it is called a fruit sour, it is an American craft beer. It has a sweet and sour taste that reminds you of wild strawberries and vanilla. It is fruity and sweet, but also refreshing with a crisp aftertaste. It is complex and unique. (*´ー｀*) ●Nozawana Chirimen Grilled Deep Fried Tofu with Tokushima Yuzu Vinegar and Shichimi 480 yen Deep fried tofu with the saltiness of Nozawana and chirimen. The aroma of yuzu vinegar adds variety, and the shichimi is only slightly spicy. It has a complex but relatively light taste, so it seems to go well with a pilsner-type craft beer that is not too strong. ● Non-smoked grilled sausage with blackcurrant mustard, 350 yen per bottle We had a non-smoked grilled sausage with blackcurrant mustard. The blackcurrant aroma is distinctive and goes very well with fruity craft beer. I see, I'm impressed. (*´ー｀*) 《Overall review》 The interior of the store has a bar atmosphere where you can drink casually. The chairs are made of cans and the tables are small, so it's not a place where you can relax and drink. It gives the impression of a place where you can just drop in, have a few drinks, and go home. As the name of the store suggests, the food is made with eight types of fermented (HAKKO) seasonings. It seems that they are conscious of the traditional miso culture of Nagano Prefecture. Both dishes are very delicious and have a unique taste, and they are also well thought out to go well with craft beer. As a bar, it's hard to find a place that offers such a wide variety of creative snacks to go with such delicious alcohol. Since it is a bar, there is no menu that will fill you up. If you want to eat, you will have to go elsewhere. There is a wide selection of rare craft beers and they are a little expensive, but considering the risks of expiration dates, I think the prices are reasonable. Above all, it is nice to be able to enjoy a variety of craft beers that are not often available elsewhere.
