Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store Introduces Distinctive Craft Beers in New Arrivals Ahead of Golden Week
The "Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store" near Sendai Station East Exit has shared its pre-Golden Week new-arrival information. Cans and bottles from Black Tide Brewing, UCHU BREWING, and Repubrew line the store, and the tiny 3-tsubo interior is packed with a wide variety of styles.
Hop BroIt's a new-arrivals rush before Golden Week, right? Koguma Saketen's main store at Sendai Station East Exit has lined up distinctive picks centered on Black Tide Brewing and UCHU BREWING.
MugiWait, you can fit that much in a 3-tsubo store!? It's cramped, but amazing that you can still find everything!
Hop BroThat's what makes it famous as the second narrowest liquor store in Japan, according to Koguma. Even though it's tiny, it constantly gathers 100 to 120 brands from microbreweries nationwide, so the shelf density is insane.
MugiWhat is that! More than 100 kinds means you're already lost before choosing. I could spend an hour just looking at labels!
Hop BroThis time's headliners are the distinctive lineup: Hoya Boya Infinity, Uchu BREAK1, This Moment, POWER HAZY, Blocken Spectre, departure, Tohoku 6Hop Fresh Hop, and MASSIVE HISTORIA. There's a wide range, from hazy IPA to triple IPA to sour styles.
MugiWait, I hear about hazy IPA a lot, but what exactly is hazy about it? Does it have fog in it?
Hop BroHazy refers to the cloudiness and aroma. Even if it looks juice-like, the hop aroma rises softly and the bitterness tends to be gentler.
MugiWhoa, even names like Uchu BREAK1 are powerful. It looks like it's firing beams just from the label. That's unfairly exciting before even drinking!
Hop BroAnother one to watch is Tohoku 6Hop Fresh Hop, which has a freshly harvested hop character. Fresh Hop tends to bring out a green, vibrant hop aroma, and being able to buy it and taste it right away on the bench outside is very much this shop's style.
MugiThat's amazing! If you can have a drink right after buying it, the Golden Week shopping trip basically becomes a beer excursion!
Hop BroAnd what's more, this place is full of the fun of choosing. The flow of picking up the bottles that catch your eye and then tasting them while looking out over the East Exit is pretty complete.
MugiI can't take it anymore, tonight's beer is decided! I want to start with choosing the label at Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store!
