Moyamoyabase in Sapporo taps Black Fox, LUPICIA, Far Yeast and Y.MARKET
Moyamoyabase, a beer pub in Minami 2-jo Higashi, Sapporo, announced a fresh guest-beer changeover. The lineup features five beers from Black Fox Beer, LUPICIA BREWERY, FAR YEAST BREWING, and Y.MARKET BREWING, with a strong Niseko-centered selection.
Hop BroMoyamoya Base in Sapporo just put on five guest beers. Black Fox Beer, LUPICIA BREWERY, FAR YEAST BREWING, and Y.MARKET BREWING are all on the board, and that lineup is seriously strong.
MugiWhat! Five at once means I am instantly lost. What beers are on?
Hop BroThe fun part is the three Niseko beers together: Niseko Pride from Black Fox Beer, plus Niseko Pilsner and Nisecoise from LUPICIA BREWERY. It makes the local comparison really easy.
MugiWhoa, but drinking a place sounds weird! Am I supposed to sip a map now?
Hop BroThat is terroir, basically sense of place in the beer. The water, air, and brewer's touch all show up in the flavor, so even beers tied to Niseko can feel totally different.
MugiOkay, that helps! Niseko Pilsner at least screams pilsner style, but Nisecoise sounds like a spell from a fantasy movie.
Hop BroA pilsner usually drinks clean and crisp, so it is perfect after work. Nisecoise sounds more quirky, and tasting them side by side is exactly the kind of thing that starts a long beer conversation.
MugiAnd then FAR YEAST BREWING's Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5 and Y.MARKET BREWING's NEW Onigashima IX jump in too? That is a huge flavor range all of a sudden!
Hop BroThat is why it works. It is centered on Hokkaido, but Yamanashi and Aichi join the mix too, so you can follow the current Japan scene in one sitting.
MugiAnd Moyamoya Base is that small pub on the second floor of M's Nijo Yokocho, right? If I start counter-seat tasting, I am absolutely staying there until closing.
Hop BroVery possible. You go in for one glass and slide straight into the tasting flight abyss. This set especially flows nicely from the Niseko beers to TRIGGER and then Onigashima.
MugiThen it is settled. I want to warm up with Niseko Pilsner and finish with NEW Onigashima IX. Let's go drink now!
Sapporo beer pub Moyamoyabase posted an updated guest-beer lineup featuring five craft beers, mixing Hokkaido names with breweries from Yamanashi and Aichi.
Beers on tap
- Black Fox Beer / Niseko Pride
- LUPICIA BREWERY / Niseko Pilsner
- LUPICIA BREWERY / Nisecoise
- FAR YEAST BREWING / Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5
- Y.MARKET BREWING / NEW鬼ヶ島Ⅸ
What stands out most is the cluster of Niseko-themed beers. Niseko Pride comes from Black Fox Beer, while Niseko Pilsner and Nisecoise are both from LUPICIA BREWERY. Together they give the bar a clear local thread, while Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5 and NEW鬼ヶ島Ⅸ broaden the lineup with two different house styles from outside Hokkaido.
Moyamoyabase itself is a compact beer pub on the second floor of M's Nijo Yokochyo in central Sapporo. Its counter-first layout makes it easy to stop by for a quick pint or linger over a few guest beers in sequence. For drinkers who like following rotating taps, this is the kind of bar where the board is part of the appeal.
