Finally coming! New product Itoman's "Irabu Char"

Since it was released in May last year, ITOMAN/S has been well received by many people both inside and outside the prefecture.

Some people said, "Is there any other development?", But on February 20, 2023, a new product finally appeared!

※Updated January 2024 (Information on ITOMAN/S product sales)

It’s called ISLAND SPICE ALE, “ITOMAN/S Irabucha.”

This time I will give you the details!

By the way, speaking of ITOMAN/S, I bring the varieties caught in Itoman as their name (see details here), but this time Irabu Char is of course the name of the fish.

Irabu Char is a Japanese name that uses "Budai" as an Okinawan dialect.

People outside the prefecture can't hear it, so I'm worried about what kind of fish, but if you look at this, everyone may say "Oh!" !

Yes, please!

“I’ve seen it in an aquarium!”

What a voice you hear!

There are several types of Irabu char, and colorful fish such as blue and orange, such as budai, hibudai, and Nanyobudai. In addition, Aobadai seen in the market etc. may be mistaken for Napoleon Fish etc. It is a colorful fish like tropical fish, and there is no chance to see it outside Okinawa Prefecture, so the appearance of lined up at Itoman fish shops seems to be very impactful for those who come for sightseeing.

What does it taste like...

It is often wondered, but the taste is light and delicious! It is also treated as high quality fish in the prefecture.

In fact, it is said that the skin has umami, so the cooking method that makes use of the skin is basic. When cooked, the skin becomes blue, the body becomes elastic and can be eaten more deliciously.

There are many people who enjoy it with mars boiled (salt boiled) or sashimi.

Aside from the previous paragraph.

Thank you for waiting! Introducing ISLAND SPICE ALE “ITOMAN/S Irabucha”

■Island Spice Ale Itoman (S Irabucha)

Irabucha will be a new release. Uses a part of Itoman City as a secondary ingredient. Taking advantage of the characteristics of Shima pepper Piparts, fruity with citrus fruits from Okinawa Prefecture Shikwasha Orange Peel. In addition, it is a spice ale finished by combining Coryanda seeds as an accent!

"Coriander Seed" can be taken from the same plant as pacchi. The commonly found pacchi leaf has a unique aroma, but the coriander seed has a citrus freshness and sweetness.

On the other hand, "Piparts (Hihatsumodoki)" is an island pepper produced in Okinawa. It is a spice that is also popular with Okinawan cuisine, and has a crisp spiciness and a sweet citrus scent, and you can feel mellow compared to commonly known pepper.

All of them go well with citrus!

It is in harmony with a lot of materials so that it is as good as Akamachi. It has aroma and sweetness, but I feel the spice! This is the perfect beer with confidence in such a drink.

The feeling of drinking is deep in the sweetness and fruity aroma of malt, characterized by an exotic and spicy taste.

The beer is "Koge brown" and matches well with the coloring of the label.

~Recommended dishes~

For pairing with dishes, we recommend seafood with a strong umami flavor such as "fish soup" and "simmered". The refreshing richness of Irabucha gives you a luxurious taste.

Here is the appearance of 3 series!
