Sarunokoshikake in Saginuma Announces Reopening and Introduces Four Johana Beer Cans
The Saginuma beer pub "Sarunokoshikake" has reopened. An Instagram post announced that Johana Beer cans are now in stock, and four varieties can be confirmed on the lineup, including one labeled COLD IPA. It is a fitting first drink after anniversary week, offering a chance to enjoy the different personalities of Johana Beer.
Hop BroA piece of news has come in about a reopening at the Saginuma beer pub. Hearing that "Sarunokoshikake" is opening again from tonight makes even the owner in me a little restless.
MugiWhat, they reopened!? And they’ve got four kinds of Johana Beer cans in stock, so there are way too many options all at once!
Hop BroExactly, and what’s interesting is what’s inside. In the photo you can confirm one can labeled COLD IPA, plus BLOOD ORANGE, GOLDEN SPARK, and GREAT BLUE, so the lineup has a lot of personality.
MugiCOLD IPA? What is that, cold!? Ice in it!? Don’t just act cool by the name alone and explain it to me!
Hop BroNot "just chill it and done". It often refers to an IPA designed with low-temperature fermentation in mind and a clean finish, so the hop aroma comes through while the aftertaste stays crisp.
MugiOkay, so it’s actually beer! And BLOOD ORANGE is one of those fruit ales, right? The name alone makes it sound like orange juice is going to splash everywhere!
Hop BroThat image is basically right. It’s the kind with the freshness of blood orange coming to the front, with a juicy character and an easy-to-understand drinking profile.
MugiI heard GOLDEN SPARK uses ginger, but ginger in beer!? That thing is practically wearing a spice ale face!
Hop BroYes, because the aroma and sharpness of ginger really stand out, it has a little tickle to it. The nice part is that it can serve as an approachable gateway even for people who usually don’t like beer.
MugiAnd the last one, GREAT BLUE, has lemon acidity and is blue too, so both the look and the flavor are bold! It really feels like a summer beer and I’m curious!
Hop BroAnd Sarunokoshikake is open from 18:00-23:00, so it’s perfect as the first drink after anniversary week. If we compare these four one by one in Saginuma, we’d definitely end up wanting the next pour too.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, even just reading this made my throat react! This is the kind of article that makes me want to compare drinks in Saginuma; this is a contender for tonight’s first pour!
The Saginuma beer pub "Sarunokoshikake" announced that it has resumed business after closing for the anniversary week. The post said, "We’re reopening tonight," and listed business hours for the day as 18:00-23:00, with last orders at 22:30. The shop is located in the Saginuma Station area and is an easy place to stop by casually for craft beer.
What stands out in this post is the row of cans from Johana Beer, the brewery based in Nanto, Toyama. In the photo, one can labeled COLD IPA is visible, along with BLOOD ORANGE, GOLDEN SPARK, and GREAT BLUE. It is a lineup with clear, distinctive character in the Johana Beer style, using fruit and spices.
BLOOD ORANGE is a fruit ale made with blood orange, leaning fresh and juicy. GOLDEN SPARK is a spice ale with a pronounced aroma and heat from ginger, making it approachable even for people who are not usually into beer. GREAT BLUE is characterized by lemon acidity and a light, brisk feel, and its blue appearance makes it especially memorable as a summer beer. With four cans on hand, each with a different label expression, the appeal of this arrival is that you can choose across a range from light to aroma-focused styles.
At a small beer pub like Sarunokoshikake, the arrival of guest beers like this can dramatically change the character of that day’s menu. Coming right after reopening, this is just the right announcement for trying Johana Beer’s distinctive cans one by one in Saginuma.
