■ The Taste of 'Teramachi-Saison -Fragrant olive-'
Behind an elegant, fruity aroma reminiscent of apricot, we added a calm nuance of grass and leather that casts a slight shadow, perfectly matching the spicy scent characteristic of Saison beers. It has been finished as a beer that evokes somewhat nostalgic memories.
■ Award Comment
Japanet Water Co., Ltd. 'THE STADIUM BREWS NAGASAKI' Brewery
We are extremely honored to receive such an award at the prestigious International Beer Cup. We are also delighted to have been evaluated by the judges, who are tasters from all over the world. Winning not only a Gold Medal but also the Category Champion has given us confidence in our beer-making. As a brewery of the Japanet Group responsible for regional revitalization businesses, while thinking about what kind of beer everyone would enjoy at Nagasaki Stadium City, an encounter with the fragrant olive trees that breathe calmly in Teramachi, Nagasaki City—a place loved since ancient times—was the catalyst for the birth of 'Teramachi-Saison'. We focused on finding the perfect style and balance to match the scent of the fragrant olive from among the roughly 180 beer styles (characteristics, tastes, yeast types, etc.) in the world, and it took about a year from conception to completion. As a brewery, nothing would make us happier than if more people became interested in the award-winning 'Teramachi-Saison' and visited Nagasaki Stadium City. Furthermore, we would be happy if 'Teramachi-Saison' could serve as a gateway for people to engage with beer itself.
