Hop BroKitasenju's BiaMa Kitasenju has posted on Instagram about two guest beers from Nara Brewing, and they're especially good for a side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhoa, just two labels is already exciting, and the names are "Underwater" and "Underwater Luminous" - the whole water theme is wild!
Hop BroFirst up, "Underwater" is dry and crisp, with aromas like ripe apple and pineapple.
MugiWait, what do you mean it was brewed with sake yeast? Beer using sake yeast makes my head bubble a little!
Hop BroGood question. When sake yeast aromas are there, it tends to bring out a delicate ginjo-like character, and the fruit notes stand out beautifully.
MugiOhh! So "Underwater Luminous" has a completely different aroma direction?
Hop BroExactly. This one is more restrained on the ginjo aroma, but it leads with a refreshing watermelon-and-ramune kind of character, and the malt sweetness still remains.
MugiWhat is that! If it even has a balance of sweetness and acidity, it sounds like it would show a different face with every sip, which is too fun!
Hop BroAnd when you line the two up, the Nara Brewing design choices become easier to see, so the comparison is really interesting.
MugiIf TAP 3, 4, 8, and 9 are low, then going early is the right call! If it's open from 14:00 to 23:00, maybe I have to go today!
Introducing Two Nara Brewing Beers
The beer pub "BiaMa Kitasenju" in Senju, Adachi Ward, Tokyo, introduced two guest beers from Nara Brewing in an Instagram post. The lineup features "Underwater" and "Underwater Luminous." Both carry hints of ginjo-like aroma, but their drinking profiles are clearly different.
"Underwater" is a beer with a dry, crisp finish layered with aromas reminiscent of ripe apples and pineapple. In the post, it is described as opening up with a delicate fragrance brewed using sake yeast.
Meanwhile, "Underwater Luminous" has a more subdued ginjo aroma, with a refreshing profile centered on notes that evoke watermelon, sweet apples, and ramune. It is said to retain a strong malt-derived sweetness while also emphasizing acidity. Because the aroma profiles differ, comparing the two side by side makes Nara Brewing's distinct design choices easier to appreciate.
The shop also noted that TAP 3, 4, 8, and 9 are running low, and is encouraging anyone interested to visit soon. Hours are 14:00 to 23:00, with last order at 22:00. For anyone wanting to follow guest beer activity in Kitasenju, it's an easy place to stop by.
