Oyster with lemon will also be a good partner.
The tips of this Ippon
Buko Shuzou is located in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture. It is not famous, but it is one of the breweries that are easy to access from Tokyo. I visited this brewery as one of optional tour of a small trip for Chichibu. It usually holds a sightseeing tour, but did not hold it due to Covid 19. However, they run a shop in their brewery. I went there and bought this bottle. The shop holds tasting room. You can try some bottles and get advice. It was really a nice experience. If you have a chance to visit Chichibu, you should visit this brewery.
