A popular gift idea. Have you heard of Sake no Hana Session IPA, a beer made specifically for curry?
Nov 24, 2025
The moment the aroma of curry rises, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly becomes brighter.
The aroma of spices, the sweetness of vegetables and meat, and the appetite beyond the steam.
If you add another "next door companion" to it, the dish will be even richer.
This idea led to the creation of funs brewing's unique craft beer, "Sake no Hana Session IPA."
Regular IPAs have a strong aroma that can overwhelm a dish.
But this beer is different.
A fruity yet gentle scent.
When you drink it, a slight spiciness rises, and then it blends with the lingering aftertaste of curry and disappears.
A new flavor that cannot be enjoyed with beer or curry alone.
This is a craft beer created specifically for curry.
Why make a beer specifically for curry?
Curry is one of the most complex dishes in the cuisine.
Layers of spices, sweetness, spiciness, umami, and oil.
Only when these ingredients are in perfect balance can it become a delicious curry.
However, there are actually surprisingly few drinks that can enhance this harmony without disrupting it.
Wine tends to clash with spices.
Sake can sometimes be too sweet.
Regular IPAs have too strong an aroma and bitterness.
So funs brewing had an idea.
"Can we create a world where food and beer enhance each other to a level beyond what is possible on their own?"
It is not just a supporting role that doesn't get in the way of cooking,
I want to create a pairing where both the food and the beer take center stage.
Sake no Hana SESSION IPA was born from this idea.
Why it pairs well with curry 
● The fruity and gentle aroma does not clash with the spices.
A typical IPA has a strong aroma,
When paired with spicy dishes, the flavors tend to clash.
Sake no Hana SESSION IPA is
We have deliberately adjusted it to have a "fruity and gentle" start.
The citrus-like scent runs alongside the aroma of curry without overpowering it.
This design ensures that the spices and beer aromas do not clash.
This is the unique appeal of a beer made specifically for curry.
● The spiciness you feel the moment you drink it overlaps with the heat of curry.
When you take a sip, you will notice a gentle spicy nuance.
This subtle sensation coincides perfectly with the spiciness of the curry.
It also pairs well with the warmth of the spices.
A pleasant cycle of eating → drinking → wanting to take another bite is naturally created.
● The lingering bitterness brings together the oiliness and lingering aftertaste.
Curry is high in oil and has a strong flavor.
That's why the "late bitterness" of beer is so important.
Sake no Hana SESSION IPA maintains the characteristics of an IPA while gently adjusting the bitterness.
The curry has an exquisite balance that neither overpowers nor overdoes the richness of the curry.
The taste is designed so that the heaviness disappears and you naturally want to take the next bite.
"The magical beer that makes homemade curry even more delicious" 
Rather than eating curry alone, pair it with this Sake no Hana Session IPA.
The sweetness of the roux is enhanced. The aroma of spices is enhanced. The umami of the meat is more pronounced.

This is the moment when your home dinner table becomes a little more luxurious.
"It's an IPA with a gentle aroma, so it's perfect for curry spices and doesn't clash with them (woman in her 60s)."
"When paired with tomato keema curry, the balance of sweetness and spiciness was just right (man in his 50s)."
"I don't like beer, but this is easy to drink, and it really does change the flavor of curry dramatically when paired with it (woman in her 50s)."
