				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are introducing 3 new micro brews from Japan. It took months, but finally they are here/</p>
<p>We have:<br />
Echigo Red Ale &#8211;  rich ale with just a kiss of hops. We have carried their Lager and their Stout for some time. The red ale is the perfect middle to these wonderful beers.</p>
<p>Tama no Megumi &#8211; pale ale that has been bottled conditioned, a sour orange nose with a richly dense beer</p>
<p>Ozeno Yukidoke &#8211; an IPA with distinct citrus notes with a round finish and a hoppy bitter finish</p>
<p>Come and try these truly unique beers. Supplies are very limited.<div id="attachment_163" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://zamaphilly.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/new-beers.jpg"><img src="http://zamaphilly.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/new-beers-225x300.jpg" alt="New Beers for Philly Beer Week" title="new beers" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-163" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Japanese Micro Beers</p></div></p>

<p>Michinoku brewery founded over 340 years ago, they found the best mountain range in Hokkaido to produce their sake. It was called Otoko Yama, or man&#8217;s mountain. They chose Mt. Taisetsu, with it&#8217;s jagged edges and it&#8217;s steep cliffs. The spring they are using is shikomimizue spring. Freshest water they could find, light refreshing and all naturally filtered by the Taisetsu mountain.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Winters are cold, springs and the sea freeze regularly. Perfect time to make a sake light and fragrant and a sharp finish just like the mountains themselves. At a +14 on the SMV (Sake Meter Value) the crispness is great for sashimi, oysters and cold water crustaceans. With a hint of melon, this sake is just right for Zama&#8217;s Omakase.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an excellent sake, rich and viscus. It coats the palette and prepares your mouth for the wasabi or anything spicy. The rice they use is Hitomibore, well-known for rich flavor, moderate stickiness and second largest production in Japan. This rice is milled down to 68%, keeping that rich rice flavor in the palette. It shows fruit on the nose with a clean finish. On the SMV, sake meter value, it is +2.5. This sake is great with spicy tuna or any other spicy fish rolls and great with sushi roll with many different components.</p>
