Craft beer "ITOMAN / S" was born in 2021 in collaboration with Itoman City on the 50th anniversary of the enforcement of Itoman City municipal organization!
If you haven't heard it yet, please try to touch the charm of ITOMAN/S!
In the prefecture, Itoman City is famous for being known as a marine town since ancient times.
Therefore, the theme was the development of products specializing in "pairing with seafood dishes (tasting together)".
Nanto Brewery has been developing various products so far, but this is the first pairing product with fish!
Rather, products that combine fish dishes and sake are rarely seen in Japan! !
ITOMAN/S was created through joint development between Itoman City and Nanto Brewery.
The thoughts of the people involved were also hot, and that told them, and the commitment to birth was considerable.
As one of them, the raw materials used are packed with the charm of Itoman.‥
"Despite cost, we don't compromise the goodness, taste, and appearance of fruits!"
From the scene in Nanto Brewery, I heard the passionate words of the staff.
ITOMAN/S is characterized by a colorful package.
Look at the label!
In addition to hops, the raw materials are used in raw materials.
The number of items such as "Dragon Fruit", "Passion Fruit", and "Acerola".
Do you know everyone?
You may notice someone who is good intuition.
Actually, this uses fruits from the prefecture, including Itoman City!
And it's a lot! !
It's important here!
As you know, Itoman City, which is rich in nature, is rich in agriculture besides fishing.
Therefore, there is also a desire to make ITOMAN / S a product that can contribute to the expansion of city consumption.
And "Taman" is Shima Maas, which pumped up seawater 2 km off Itoman.
It is a high-precision salt finished by craftsmen with great care.
The daily temperature, humidity, and the timing of adding winding are salt making that requires many years of experience, but this also incorporates the passion of craftsmen who cannot afford compromise.
As a matter of fact, there are many other things.
After all, it is "water of raw materials".
More than 90% of beer is made of water, but it is said that the water greatly affects the finish.
ITOMAN/S uses natural water pumped from underground Gyokusendo Cave.
Water rich in calcium and minerals is used to add elegance to the flavor of ITOMAN/S.
It is no exaggeration to say that it will be the decisive factor for the finish of ITOMAN/S.
"By the way, why is it?"
You may hear that voice, but there is also a solid reason for this!
In beer, if you use a lot of fruits as the raw material (a secondary ingredient of 5% or more of the amount of malt used), it will be written as foam sake, but in ITOMAN/S, since it uses plenty of fruits as the secondary ingredient, it becomes "foam liquor".
A proud craft beer ITOMAN / S that was born with a lot of commitment and confidence from producers.
The impact package is also popular, and it is also appreciated by gifts.♪
The flavor and taste of ITOMAN/S that is not conveyed in words.‥
Everyone, please try it.
We look forward to seeing you!
