About

Hitachino Nest Pirika is a refreshing session IPA from Kiuchi Brewery, a producer with deep roots in Japanese brewing tradition. Brewed with yuzu and Japanese sansho pepper, this 4.5% ABV beer brings an unexpected twist to the IPA style. The yuzu citrus and sansho's distinctive spice-floral character create an aromatic, crisp profile that balances hop character with subtle Asian botanicals. This is a beer that prioritizes freshness and drinkability over intensity. The low alcohol and distinctive ingredient choice make it an accessible entry point to hoppy beers, and a compelling alternative for those seeking something beyond the conventional IPA.
