Moyamoya Base in Sapporo rotates in two guest kegs from Miyazaki Hideji Beer and NEKOBEER
Moyamoya Base, a beer pub in Sapporo’s Minami 2-jo Higashi area, has rotated in two guest kegs: Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s "Nichinan Lemon Fresh Squeezed Session Hazy IPA" and NEKOBEER’s "Chocolatier Nyampachi - Almond Vanilla Milk Stout." The lineup offers a sharp contrast between citrus-driven freshness and dessert-like richness.
Hop BroMoyamoya Base in Sapporo just rotated in two fresh guest kegs. The contrast between Miyazaki Hideji Beer and NEKOBEER is seriously fun.
MugiWait, lemon and chocolate on the same tap list? My taste buds are going to need a briefing!
Hop BroThe new lineup is Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Nichinan Lemon Fresh-Squeezed Session Hazy IPA and NEKOBEER's Chocolatier Nyanpachi Almond Vanilla Milk Stout. One is a bright hazy IPA, the other leans sweet and stouty.
MugiHold on, what even is Session Hazy IPA? That sounds like three beer spells stacked together!
Hop BroIn simple terms, Session usually means lighter and easier to drink, while Hazy points to soft cloudy texture. So you get lively lemony citrus without a harsh, sharp finish.
MugiOhhh, so it's basically reset-button lemon for your first glass. That sounds perfect after work!
Hop BroExactly. Then the NEKOBEER pour goes the other way with chocolate, vanilla, and almond notes, making it a dessert-style stout you want to sip slowly.
MugiWhat is that, a drinkable pastry slot? That's a beer pretending it belongs in a dessert case!
Hop BroAnd that's the charm of Moyamoya Base. You can chase wildly different guest beers in one stop, and if you check their posts first, you can target the exact tap you want.
MugiI already have a plan: start with the lemon one, then land with Nyanpachi for a two-step drinking course. That's my move.
Hop BroThat is absolutely the right move. Now I want a side-by-side tasting myself, from the crisp opener to the rich closer.
MugiNow I'm fully thirsty. Let's head to Moyamoya Base and claim the first pint and finale properly!
Two contrasting guest beers
Moyamoya Base, a beer pub in central Sapporo, announced a guest-keg rotation. The two beers now on tap are Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s "Nichinan Lemon Fresh Squeezed Session Hazy IPA" and NEKOBEER’s "Chocolatier Nyampachi - Almond Vanilla Milk Stout." It is a pairing with a wide range: one bright and citrusy, the other soft, sweet, and dessert-like.
The Session Hazy IPA leans into lemon character and keeps the body light, making it an easy first pour. Its hazy texture should bring a gentle mouthfeel without weighing things down, so it fits well when you want something refreshing.
By contrast, the Almond Vanilla Milk Stout sounds like a beer to sip slowly. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, and almond suggest a rounded, sweet finish, closer to a dessert course than a palate cleanser. The contrast between the two beers makes the rotation more interesting.
That is part of the appeal of Moyamoya Base: you can follow changing guest taps in the middle of Sapporo and choose a beer based on the moment. Checking the post before visiting helps you aim for the current tap list, which is exactly what a beer pub should make easy.
