Yona Yona Beer Works Unveils Sakura Mochi Stout
Japan's Yona Yona Beer Works is set to tantalize taste buds with a unique creation—the limited edition
SORRY SAKURA MOCHI STOUT. This exceptional black beer will be available starting
November 1, 2025, at the official Yona Yona Ale restaurant known for its extensive line of craft brews. Developed specifically for the American market, this stout combines traditional Japanese ingredients to create a flavor profile unlike any other.
A Stout Inspired by Japanese Delicacies
The
SORRY SAKURA MOCHI STOUT captures the essence of Japan’s beloved sakura mochi, a sweet rice cake flavored with cherry blossom. The beer integrates
cassia cinnamon, which shares the aromatic compound
coumarin found in cherry blossoms, offering a delicate floral note that mirrors the taste of sakura. Additionally, the inclusion of
sweet rice flour and
oats lends a creamy texture, making each sip reminiscent of indulging in a sakura mochi treat.
As you enjoy this stout, you'll be greeted with the intoxicating aroma of cherry blossoms and a gentle sweetness, followed by a satisfying aftertaste that recalls the essence of traditional Japanese sweets. The balance of sweetness and roasted notes makes it an ideal choice for a dessert beer following a meal.
