Hikone Beer Co., Ltd. will release "Warunyanko Shogun Lager," a craft beer featuring "Warunyanko Shogun," known as Hikonyan's official rival, on its label. The label uses an original illustration newly drawn by Moheron, the creator of both Hikonyan and Warunyanko Shogun. This design was specially created for this beer. The beer is a style lager with an alcohol content of 6.5%. It is characterized by its reddish amber color and the fragrant aroma derived from malt. While possessing a rich malt body, it has been finished with a clean aftertaste typical of lagers. This is a brew that expresses the world of "Warunyanko Shogun," who, despite his villainous expression, is somehow approachable and endearing, through its taste and label design. Developed as a counterpart to "Hikonyan Ale" Hikone Beer's existing product, "Hikonyan Ale," is a session IPA that is gentle and easy to drink, making the most of its hop aroma. This "Warunyanko Shogun Lager" was developed as its "counterpart." While "Hikonyan Ale" is hop-centric, "Warunyanko Shogun Lager" is malt-centric. In terms of style, lager has been adopted in contrast to ale. Compared to the light and vibrant impression of "Hikonyan Ale," "Warunyanko Shogun Lager" has a taste design that emphasizes richness, body, and fragrance. The "rivalry" is expressed not only in the relationship between the characters but also in the content of the beer.
