An early-summer new arrival has landed at "Nippon's Craft Beer Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store" near the east exit of Sendai Station. The highlight this time is a pair of limited items created by ekubo farm, a wine-grape farm in Kitakata, and REC Cider Beer Works, also based in Kitakata. These are low-availability lots that do not go through REC's usual distribution and, at present, are difficult to obtain except at ekubo farm or a few liquor shops in Aizu.

Two bottles made with wine grape varieties have arrived.

- `the B Muscat Saison`
A fruit saison blended with white grape varieties, centered on Muscat of Alexandria. A floral, fruity bottle with the juicy character of the fruit pushed to the forefront.
- `the B Grape&Apple CIDER`
A hard cider combining apples and grapes from Aizu. Featuring red wine grape varieties including Azumashizuku, it is characterized by fruit-forward drinkability, natural sweetness, and a soft, slightly dry finish.

Koguma Sake Shop is known as a specialty store where cans and bottles are packed tightly into its compact interior. Its location within walking distance of Sendai Station is also a strength, making it easy to stop by while sightseeing or shopping. The shop's stance is that even browsing is welcome, and being able to compare labels and styles while choosing is very much part of what makes this store feel like itself. This time, in addition to being new as craft beer, the lineup also lets you enjoy grape-derived aromas and the easy-drinking nature of cider, making it a good arrival for people looking for an early-summer drink. Because quantities are limited, anyone interested should check it out soon.
