This is a saison-style craft beer unique to SOUTH HORIZON BREWING, which skillfully combines shiitake mushroom broth and white koji.
In the dry mouth, the pleasant acidity brought by the citric acid derived from white koji and the deep umami of shiitake mushrooms are in perfect harmony. In addition, the flavor is further enhanced by boiling, and you can enjoy a rich taste with a lingering taste.
Hops are made with Nelson Sauvin. The complex and gorgeous aroma of aromas reminiscent of white grapes and the spicy aroma derived from Saison yeast is like "Japanese wine". The mellow mouthfeel created by the koji envelops the entire cup, resulting in an elegant and deep bowl that is unique to all others.
The name "Fun guy Fungi" is a stylish combination of FUNGI, which means "yeast, koji, and mushrooms", and FUN GUY, which means "fun person". The humorous naming and the fusion of Japanese and Western flavors bring pleasant surprises and conversation starters to drinkers.
Whether it's at a special meal or when you laugh with your friends.
Fun guy Fungi is a one-of-a-kind cup that will transform your usual table into a special place in an instant.

From the brewer:
The theme is pseudo-aging. I thought that I would like to add a complex flavor without going through long-term aging, so I selected auxiliary ingredients. It became a Japan-like ingredient and became a Japanese farmhouse-style beer.
