Six DD4D Beers, Including the 7th Anniversary Release, Arrive at Koguma Sake Shop at Sendai Station East Exit
Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store posted its new arrivals on May 29. Six labels are now on the shelves, including DD4D's 7th anniversary model, Lucky Charm, plus an IPA, a sansho lager, and collaborations with NO COFFEE.
Hop BroDD4D has landed at Koguma Sake Shop near Sendai Station's east exit. The small sales floor is packed with cans and bottles from all over Japan, and this time six varieties are lined up, including the 7th anniversary release.
MugiWhoa! Six varieties? If there are that many, I'd end up holding a strategy meeting in front of the shelf!
Hop BroFirst up is DD4D's Lucky Charm 7th Anniversary. It's a Double IPA at ABV 8%, a commemorative model that brings tropical character from Krush, Citra, and Mosaic, plus a dank note on top.
MugiDank? What is that? "Dank aroma" sounds like basketball talk!
Hop BroNo, no. In beer, it refers to a damp, grassy, or resinous character. It layers that foresty nuance over IPA bitterness, and the people who love it get completely hooked.
MugiHuh! Then what kind of beer is Journeyman IPA? It sounds like it's been traveling!
Hop BroIt's a collaboration with Hardywood Park, and the West Coast IPA character really comes through. Pine, white grape, and meadow-like aromas are sharpened with lime and grapefruit.
MugiWhat is that, so refreshing! But that sansho lager is interesting too. What's going to happen in my mouth!?
Hop BroThat's Saltz's distinctive personality. The bite of sansho pepper meets Hakata salt, and because it's a light lager, the tingle and drinkability coexist in a pretty interesting way.
MugiI want to drink them all! The breadth of the collaborations is amazing too. From NO COFFEE's coffee sour to Seiryo Shuzo's fruit sake ale, I'd be happily lost before I even choose!
Hop BroExactly. The best part is being able to choose based on your mood at Sendai Station's east exit. Today it's tropical IPA, or maybe a tart sour, or maybe one with sake-yeast aromas... You'll want to try one of each.
MugiYeah, this is a total candidate for tonight's drink! Let's stop by Koguma Sake Shop and seriously agonize in front of the shelf together!
