It's also popular as a gift. Have you heard of Sake no Hana Red Ale, a beer made especially for sukiyaki?

The moment when steam rises from the sukiyaki and the aroma of sweet warishita sauce and beef spreads.
Having a cup of coffee next to it will make your dining table even more enjoyable.

This idea was born from
This is funs brewing's own craft beer, "Sake no Hana Red Ale (RED ALE)."

A soft, umami flavor brought about by sake yeast and sake lees.
A subtle sweetness from roasted red malt with a hint of bitterness hidden in the background.
The end of the drink fades away quietly, naturally inviting you to take another sip.

It's not that "the beer doesn't interfere with the food,"
This drink was created with the aim of "making the food and beer complement each other."
It further expands the world of sukiyaki's sweetness, umami, and lingering three-dimensional flavor.

Why a beer specifically for sukiyaki?

Sukiyaki is a particularly complex Japanese dish, with a combination of sweetness, umami, fat, and aroma.
Surprisingly, there are not many alcoholic drinks that can enhance that appeal without destroying it.

With wine, the sweetness can sometimes clash with the flavor, and with sake, the fat can sometimes not be completely removed.
Even with beer, if the bitterness is too strong it will overpower the sweetness of the warishita.

So funs brewing had an idea.

"Let's create a beer that will enhance the sweetness and flavor of sukiyaki even more."

Optimizing beer for cooking.
What's more, it is designed to complement Japanese cuisine, combining sake yeast and sake lees.

The answer was Sake no Hana Red Ale.

Why Sukiyaki and Sakenohana Red Ale are a delicious pairing

● The subtle sweetness of roasted red malt complements the sweet and spicy warishita.

The roasted flavor and caramel aroma that are unique to red ale.
This blends surprisingly well with the sweetness of the warishita.

It has a similar sweetness to it, while a subtle bitterness finishes off the aftertaste.
This balance of sweet and bitter makes you want to take another bite.

● Sake yeast and sake lees enhance the flavor of the meat.

The delicious flavor of sukiyaki comes not only from the beef, but also from the warishita sauce, green onions, tofu, shirataki noodles, etc.
It is created by the synergistic effect of multiple layers of materials.

Sake no Hana Red Ale's complex umami flavor, created by the interweaving of sake yeast and sake lees, gently supports its "multi-layered umami."

● A light, crisp finish that doesn't leave a heavy aftertaste even with fatty meat

The bitterness is very mild.
And with the "just right acidity" obtained by using sake yeast,
It is adjusted to an "exquisite balance" that does not destroy the sweetness but cuts off just enough fat.

Sukiyaki is a slow-paced dish.
It has a light, crisp taste that makes it a beer that matches that tempo.

"A must-have beer that takes family sukiyaki to the next level of luxury."

An evening spent eating sukiyaki at home feels somehow luxurious and a bit special.
Simply add Sake no Hana Red Ale to make the experience even more enjoyable.

"The sweet warishita sauce and the caramel flavor of the red ale go together better than I expected (woman in her 50s)."
"The meat wasn't too fatty and was easy to eat until the very end (man in his 40s)."
"Even though I don't like beer, I was able to drink this. The sweetness and aroma are elegant (woman in her 50s)."

The rich sweetness of the sauce spreads throughout the dish, and the umami of the meat gradually develops.
It will create a special dining table that will have your family saying, "It looks like something from a restaurant."
