Yamorido in Kyoto taps 7th-anniversary Juicy IPA "Nanamin"
Yamorido, a brewpub in Kyoto's Fushimi district, has released its 7th-anniversary Juicy IPA, "Nanamin." Brewed with seven hops and Pomona yeast, the limited beer is designed to deliver peach-like aroma and a light, easy-drinking finish.
Hop BroKyoto's Yamorido just tapped a 7th-anniversary Juicy IPA called 'Nanamin.' The name alone already feels like a toast.
MugiWait, who is Nanamin? That sounds less like a beer and more like someone who already knows my secrets!
Hop BroThat is part of the charm. They lined it up with seven star hops, ABV 7.0%, and IBU 18, so the whole recipe screams seventh anniversary.
MugiOkay, but Citra CRYO and Pomona yeast sound like spells from a wizard pub. What do they actually do?
Hop BroCRYO is basically a concentrated hop-aroma punch, and Pomona is a yeast that boosts fruitiness. Add NZ Peacherine as a key hop, and those peachy notes really pop.
MugiWhat! Peach and nectarine aroma in a Juicy IPA? That is dangerously close to making me sniff the glass before I even sip.
Hop BroAnd the base of Pilsner, wheat, and oats is aimed at a lighter-than-it-looks finish. You get peach, mango, melon, citrus, plus plum and even a little ume-like nuance.
MugiThat is a lot happening in one pint! But now I need the side quest too: seven beers on tap means I am absolutely browsing the whole board.
Hop BroVery fair. Yamorido had house beers like Chakabuki, Tiger Kick, Afternoon Stout, and Flying Gecko, plus the guest beer GO BARE. They even suggest it with a mini hamburger pairing.
MugiThat settles it, I want a Kyoto pint. Give me Nanamin, that little hamburger, and a seat right in the middle of the anniversary party.
Yamorido, the Kyoto Fushimi brewpub, has tapped its 7th-anniversary house beer, a Juicy IPA called "Nanamin." The beer comes in at 7.0% ABV and 18 IBU, built on a base of Pilsner, Wheat, and Oats. The hop bill is centered on Peacherine, with Citra CRYO, Motueka, Citra, Mosaic, Riwaka, and Simcoe rounding out the recipe. Pomona yeast is used to lift the hop character and support a bright, fruit-forward profile.
According to the post, the brewery deliberately tied the recipe to the 7th anniversary theme: seven showcase hops and a 7% alcohol target. Peacherine, a New Zealand hop with peach and nectarine notes, leads the dry-hop charge, while Citra CRYO and Riwaka add accents. The brewing-side hop selection leans citrus, aiming for a balanced beer that still drinks smoothly. Yamorido describes the flavor as layered with hop-driven peach, mango, melon, and citrus notes, plus yeast-derived plum and ume-like nuances.
The tap list that day also reflects Yamorido's house-beer lineup. On tap were Chakabuki / Japanese Saison, Chirin / Weizen with kuromoji (Yamorido × NUDE), Tiger Kick / West Coast IPA, Yamori Gold L / Golden Ale, Afternoon Stout / Oatmeal Coffee Stout, Flying Gecko / Amber Ale, and Nanamin / Juicy IPA. A guest beer, GO BARE (Gangi Brewing × NUDE), was also listed, giving drinkers a mix of core house beers and a collaboration pour in one session.
Food pairing was part of the announcement as well: the kitchen recommended a small hamburger with Japanese salsa sauce. In other words, this is a release that fits Yamorido's identity as a machiya-style brewpub where beer and food are meant to be enjoyed together.
