West Coast Brewing New Arrivals at Koguma Sake Shop’s Sendai Station East Exit Location, Four Picks for Golden Week
At Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, new arrivals from WEST COAST BREWING were announced. The lineup includes four beers, including collaborations with Korea, JRA Baji Koen, and a resort facility in Chiba Prefecture, offering plenty of options for a pre-Golden Week pint.
Hop BroA new arrival has landed at Koguma Sake Shop in Sendai Station East Exit. Four WEST COAST BREWING beers are lined up, and choosing one before Golden Week is looking pretty fun.
MugiWhoa, all four are distinctive!? If you show me something like that before the holiday, I'll be lost before I even start choosing!
Hop BroFirst up is `Double Kimchi`, a Korean collaboration DIPA. With Citra, El Dorado, and Motueka, it has a strong dank character, with citrus and berry notes layered on top.
MugiWhat do you mean by dank character!? That sounds like a powerful dunk shot in basketball! The beer world is suddenly way too sports-club about its wording!
Hop BroSimply put, it means a green, intense aroma. When hops take the lead, you get grassiness and resin, and when citrus and berry notes are added, the whole thing becomes much more layered.
Mugi`Miracle Ride` is intriguing too! A JRA Baji Koen collaboration somehow sounds like it's ready to run off just from the name!
Hop BroThis is a Hazy Double IPA, and the key point is the thickness from the double-mash process. By drawing out the wort more fully, it creates a fuller body that can carry aromas of nectarine, melon, and citrus.
MugiOhhh, so that's what a thick body means! Even though it's beer, it still feels like it has real "bite" to it, not like soup!
Hop BroExactly. And if you want something easygoing, go for `Summer Breeze`, the DDH Hazy IPA, or `Passion Wizard` for its fruit-forward character. The former is tropical and grassy, while the latter puts passion fruit front and center.
MugiWow, this is such a fun lineup to mix and match! For a strong-hop day or a lighter, aroma-focused day, being able to choose based on your mood is the best!
Hop BroAround Golden Week, limited releases move fast, and if you're looking for a drink in Sendai Station East Exit, this is a pretty strong target. I'm already deciding whether to go hard with `Double Kimchi` today or take it easy with `Passion Wizard`.
MugiI can't handle it anymore, I want to drink now! First pick one bottle at Koguma Sake Shop, then maybe another after that, that's definitely the right move!
