The beer "Sanriku sea squirt (squirt) ale" using "squirt" was released on August 27th. This was achieved through a collaboration between "Iwate Kura Beer" and Yamauchi Fresh Fish Store (Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture).


This product is a craft beer brewed using Miyagi Prefecture Mahoya shells and soup stock. Stew the sea squirt broth with malt and hops, and submerge the sea squirt shells to extract the extract. It is said that it is finished in a refreshing red ale while having a delicious taste. The price is 597 yen (tax included), limited to 3,000 bottles. It can be purchased at the Yamauchi Fresh Fish Store and its web shop.

Ascidians are characterized by a strange appearance and a unique rocky shore flavor. It is often eaten in the Tohoku region and Hokkaido, and in particular, aquaculture is actively carried out on the Sanriku coast, including Minamisanriku. Miyagi Prefecture accounts for 80% of Mahoya's nationwide share, but it was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake.

The project to make "Hoya Beer" has also reached trial sales, but the factory and store of the store were washed away by the earthquake, and it was temporarily suspended. However, in August, when the new factory of the store was completed, product development was resumed, and it was released.
