Sakaduki Brewing begins taproom sales of FUKAYOMI cans from Sanseido Bookstore
Tokyo's Adachi-based Sakaduki Brewing said in a June 12 Instagram post that cans of its peated Scotch ale FUKAYOMI are now being sold at its taproom. The brewery says the beer is being offered at a lower price because its best-before date is approaching.
Hop BroHere’s the story today: Sakazuki Brewing in Kitasenju is starting in-person FUKAYOMI sales for the collab cans from Sanseido Bookstore’s main store.
MugiWait, a bookstore beer you can buy at a brewery? The phrase bookstore collab beer already has me hooked!
Hop BroYep, FUKAYOMI is a peated Scotch ale, built as a beer to sip while sinking deeper into the world of a book.
MugiHold on, what does peated mean? This got academic real fast!
Hop BroPeat gives off a smoky aroma from dried bog material. In plain terms, it’s a campfire-like aroma that makes the whole drink feel deeper and moodier.
MugiWhoa! And it says seven different malts too. That recipe sounds more complicated than a secret family curry!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It layers peat, smoke, caramel, and roast, then adds an American oak finish to stretch out the sweetness and depth.
MugiSo that oak finish means kind of a barrel-like vibe? Raisin and vanilla notes from a can is wild. This beer has plot twists!
Hop BroExactly. It pours a dark amber color, and the aroma keeps changing as it opens up, so it really feels like a beer to savor slowly.
MugiAnd because the best-by date is getting close, it’s at an easy-to-grab price, right? That’s one for reading and one for souvenirs... okay, I’d drink both.
Hop BroBeing able to pick it up straight from the Kitasenju taproom is a nice touch too. With the afterglow of a book, that first sip would hit perfectly.
MugiI’m done for, I want it now! Tonight we’re doing a FUKAYOMI toast and deep-reading both the pages and the glass!
Tokyo's Adachi-based Sakaduki Brewing announced on its June 12 Instagram post that cans of its peated Scotch ale, FUKAYOMI, are now being sold at its taproom.
FUKAYOMI is the original brand beer of Sanseido Bookstore's flagship store, which reopened on March 19 at Jimbocho 1-1. According to the brewery, it was developed with Sanseido's project team as a beer meant to accompany reading and deepen the experience of books.
The sale is being offered through the taproom only. Sakaduki says the cans are being sold at a favorable price because the best-before date is approaching, and that they can work as a casual gift or a beer to enjoy with a book on a rainy evening.
The beer is described as a richly sweet peated Scotch ale made with seven malts, including peat, smoke, caramel, and roast, and finished with American oak. Its dark amber liquid is said to reveal shifting aromas of peat, caramel, vanilla, and raisin over time, making it a beer that invites slow drinking and gradual change.
For a brewery operating from a taproom in Senju, this release brings a bookstore collaboration into the everyday retail setting, giving the beer a clear link to reading and place.
