Hoppy with shochu is good.
What is hoppy?
Is it comparable to Orion’s Southern Star?
Hoppy has been around forever and I was quite reluctant to try it. A few years ago, my father in law had some around so we mixed in some shochu and lemon and it was really good. It’s not something I go to often but it’s much better than I thought it initially would be.
Is it still made from wheat?
This is alcohol free?
Adorable
Check out Hoppy Dori (Hoppy Street) in Tokyo’s Asaksuka neighborhood at night. Tons of izakaya and bars spill out onto the street. Great vibes.
Wow I want to try this!!
I’ve never heard of this before, but if it’s alcohol free it might be similar to Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher if anyones looking for something similar in the US (alcohol free hop flavored sparkling water).
If I could get Hoppy where I live I would be so happy.
A “hoppy set” is a great night.
I love Hoppy, the taste is fine but the really good part is just the overall genuine feel of slinging hoppy. I have a ホッピー lantern at home. 🏮
Hoppy tastes like a light beer, but the strength of 0.8 degrees did not allow this drink to be considered alcohol. But still, Hoppy immediately became incredibly popular in Japan because of the recipe that the manufacturer came up with.
In order to drink Hoppy properly and deliciously, it was advised to mix it with all the same cheap and available japanese moonshine shoyu (焼酎). You had to pour 1/6 of shoyu and 5/6 of Hoppy. The result was an alcoholic drink with 5 degrees, which tasted like beer. And it was much cheaper than real beer.
This peculiar Japanese “Laget Top” is especially respected by Japanese girls who do not have much money to drink
I’ve gotten it explained to me thst hoppy came to light after WWII as an alternative to beer, because shochu was plentifully available (being domestic) but beer was not.
Odd that there is no such mention on the wiki though.
Asahi also makes great silver coins and bars.
