Happy New Year to everyone in the Beer community! I joined Beer Saturday last spring and began to find enjoyment in beer, which I had rarely had before. I hope to try a variety of beers this year and post about them from Japan, too!
Okay, I'll join you for the first The beersaturday Challenge of this year! Thanks for hosting this week, @detlev .
My husband and elder son were out of town yesterday, so I decided to enjoy Beer Saturday with my second son, who is 6 years old. Of course, my second son cannot drink, but he thinks “Beer Saturday” = something very fun and will definitely become a member of the Beer community in the future.
This week's beer is The Premium Malts Night Scent Black Ale, which I bought at the end of the year and kept chilled in the fridge. I was going to drink it over New Year's Eve, but I had a bit of a cold, so I decided not to 😅I'm better now, so it's okay to drink it.
First, I went to the local supermarket with my second son and bought salami, cheese, and a few other snacks. Instead of beer, he bought "guarana"! I have never had it, but he has liked it since he had it at cafe "Renoir" the other day. The supermarket was crowded during the New Year's special sale.
I have bought Suntory "The Premium Malts" Japanese Ale series several times in the past, and this beer is characterized by its "fruity taste and refreshing aroma" that suits Japanese tastes. Night Scent Ale” is a black beer made partly from black malt, and was newly released on December 24 last year. I tend to pick up beers that are prominently displayed at convenience stores, so it seems that I often end up buying these newly released and limited sale products!😅
When I poured it into the glass, a firmer brown foam rose. The taste was not bitter but savory, and the beer tasted like coffee due to its color. The product page says:
Polished diamond malt (diamond malt that has had the kernels removed and is high in protein, which contributes to its richness) is used and top-fermented yeast is used in the brewing process, resulting in a “mellow, fruity, and mildly lingering” taste.
I really felt it was exactly as written. Even though it was a black beer, it was not heavy and I could drink more and more of it. But the alcohol content was 6%. I was immediately giddy😵💫
I watched YouTube with my son while eating snacks, cheese, and salami that I had bought to accompany my “Night Scented Ale.”
If I were alone, I would watch a movie on my watch list. However, my second son gets bored easily and cannot watch movies. Strangely enough, by the time my elder son was 4 or 5 years old, he could already watch a movie of about 2 hours with me. But my second son was not. Even siblings are completely different. It may be a matter of preference, not age. So, I watched music videos with my second son while changing channels.
This video is “Salami & Cheese”, recently AI-generated by my husband. It is an Indian movie-style music video with a (sort of) story of a salami country and a cheese country fighting and eventually forming an alliance. How about a beer to go with it? 🤣🤣
Here is the “guarana” that my son drank. According to the website, “It is also attracting attention as a health drink that is said to be effective against neurasthenia and fatigue” ... So it was not a drink for children. It can also be made into a “guarana sour” by mixing it with shochu.
It will be another 15 years or so before I can have a real “Beer Saturday” with my second son... I hope that 2025 will bring many more encounters with different kinds of beer.

Beerコミュニティのみなさん、あけましておめでとうございます!今年もよろしくお願いします。
早速ですが、@detlev さんのThe BeerSaturday Challenge - Week 392に参加します!今週も開催ありがとうございます。
昨日は夫と長男が外出していて居なかったので、6歳の次男とビアサタデーすることにしました。もちろん次男は飲めませんが、彼は「ビアサタデー」=とても楽しい何かだと思っており、将来Beerコミュニティのメンバーになることは間違いなさそうです。
ビールは年末に買って冷蔵庫で冷やしてあった、「ザ・プレミアム・モルツ 夜香る黒エール」です。星空のような綺麗な缶のデザインに惹かれて購入、年越しに飲むつもりでしたが、ちょっと風邪気味だったのでやめておいたのでした😅もう治ったからいいかな。
まずは次男と近所のスーパーに買い物に行き、サラミとチーズ、その他お菓子を少し買いました。次男の飲み物は、ビールの代わりに「ガラナ」!私は飲んだことがありませんが、次男は先日「ルノアール」で飲んで以来気に入っています。スーパーは年始の特売セール中で賑わっていました。
サントリー 「ザ・プレミアム・モルツ」のジャパニーズエールシリーズはこれまでにも何度か買っていますが、日本人の嗜好に合う「フルーティな味わいと爽やかな香り」が特長のビールです。 「夜香るエール」は黒麦芽を一部使用した黒ビールで、昨年の12月24日に新発売されたものでした。私はコンビニで目立つところに並んでいるビールを手に取ることが多いので、こういう新発売・限定販売の商品をよく買うことになるみたいです😅
注いでみると、もこもこした茶色の泡。味は、苦くはないけれど香ばしい感じで、色のせいかコーヒーっぽさを感じるビールでした。商品ページには、
磨きダイヤモンド麦芽(穀皮を除去し、コクに寄与するたんぱく質を多く含むダイヤモンド麦芽)を使用し、上面発酵酵母を用いて醸造することで、“芳醇でフルーティ、かろやかな余韻”が愉しめる味わい
とあり、もう・・・その通りです。黒ビールなのに重さはなく、どんどん飲めてしまいました。ただ、アルコール度数が6%だったんですね。すぐに目が回ってしまいました。
「夜香るエール」のお供に買ってきたお菓子やチーズ、サラミを食べながら、次男とYouTubeを観ました。
私ひとりだったらウォッチリストに入れてある映画でも観ようかと思っていたのですが、次男はすぐに飽きてしまうので映画は観られません。不思議なもので、長男は4~5歳のころにはもう2時間程度の映画は一緒に観ることができました。が、次男はダメですね。兄弟でも全然違うものです。年齢ではなく、嗜好の問題なのかもしれません。なので、次男とはポチポチとチャンネルを変えながら、ミュージックビデオを観る感じです。
最近夫がAI生成した「サラミ&チーズ」。インド映画風のMVで、サラミ国とチーズ国が争い、最終的に同盟を組むという(一応)ストーリーがあります。ビールのお供にいかがですか?
こちら、次男が飲んだ「ガラナ」です。ホームページで調べてみたところ、「神経衰弱や疲労回復などにも効果があるといわれる健康ドリンクとしても注目を集めています」とのこと・・・ 渋い😅子ども用の飲み物ではなかったんですね。焼酎で割って「ガラナサワー」にすることもできるそうです。
次男と一緒に本物の「ビアサタデー」ができるのは、まだまだ15年ほど先になりますが・・・ 2025年も、いろんなビールとの出会いがあるといいなと思います。

.oh, i have shochu here on my table. you just gave me the idea of buying guarana
Let me know if the guarana sour was good!
I haven't had one yet.😅
i'll let you know once i get well. my headache is killing me
I too am prone to headaches, so I understand the pain😭
The cold weather makes it even worse. Please take care of yourself.
やっぱり! the cold weather has something to do with it. i was surprised how it got so bad suddenly.
I wouldn't watch 2 hours long films with you either, lol. That's why cartoons are usually short and very engaging, just to get the kid's attention for as long as possible. Guarana looks alcoholic, though...
Yeah, it looks like beer without the foam🍺 Tastes like sweet juice, apparently.
It may be a long time before my second son can watch movies with me...
Keep shining! ⭐
