Two New Beers from TOTOPIA BREWERY Arrive at Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store
At Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, two IPAs from Aichi's Nagakute-based TOTOPIA BREWERY have arrived. A rich hazy IPA made with the double mash method and a crisp West Coast IPA are now on the shelf.
Hop BroWhen I hear there’s a new arrival at Koguma Sake Shop in Sendai Station East Exit, my feet already start heading that way. This time it’s a story about two IPAs from TOTOPIA BREWERY in Nagakute, Aichi.
MugiWait, both of them are IPAs!? Hazy and West Coast sound like total opposites, so now I’m curious!
Hop BroFirst up is Loopphobia. It’s a 2×MASH DDH Hazy TIPA, with an ABV of 9%. It uses Citra, Nelson, and Superdelic, and it packs a thick body with passion fruit-like fruitiness, candy notes, and even a dank edge.
MugiHold on, what even is double mash!? Does that mean mashing twice, like some ritual where you feed the barley twice?
Hop BroNice one. Think of it as doing the malt mash in two stages to draw out sugars more thoroughly, which tends to give the liquid more depth. So Loopphobia isn’t just about haze, it’s the kind of beer with real heft to it.
MugiOhhh! Then next is Glitchphobia, right? A crisp IPA sounds like it would be super snappy!
Hop BroExactly. Glitchphobia is a DDH West Coast IPA at ABV 7.5%. It uses Riwaka, Krush, and Mosaic Cryo, and while it keeps the outline of the malt, its appeal is that sharp finish that moves from a bright lime-like character into dankness.
MugiWhat is that, a jump from lime to dank? That sounds like the gear suddenly shifts up! But just imagining it already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroAt a shop like Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, where you can compare labels and choose, this kind of info really matters. If you want something rich, go for Loopphobia; if you want something sharp, Glitchphobia makes the choice easy.
MugiAnd it’s perfect for stocking up during Golden Week, too, which is kind of unfair! If I stop by around Sendai Station East Exit, I’d probably end up lingering there, wouldn’t I?
Hop BroExactly. The best part this time is being able to compare two TOTOPIA beers side by side. If you can drink the hazy beer’s density and the West Coast beer’s definition next to each other, it should feel really satisfying.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, I want to taste them side by side right now! I’d probably spend 10 minutes deciding which one to start with, then end up having both anyway!
Hop BroThat’s it. Today I’m in the mood to line up both Loopphobia and Glitchphobia and grin at the very first sip.
