Nomendo Brew Stand collaborates with barista Yuto Sasaki on coffee weizen ENIGMA BLOOM
Nomendo Brew Stand in Koshigaya has launched a new series called "NOMENDO customer's product." The first beer is "ENIGMA BLOOM," a coffee weizen made with barista Yuto Sasaki and set to pour from the next day at opening.
Hop BroThere's a fun story today: Nomendo Brewstand in Koshigaya has a collab that's hard to ignore.
MugiWait, the first brewery in Koshigaya is making moves? I'm interested already. What did they brew?
Hop BroFor the first release, they teamed up with barista Yuto Sasaki, and the beer is called ENIGMA BLOOM.
MugiNo way, that name is dramatic! But hold on, what even is a coffee weizen?
Hop BroThe base style is a weizen, so you get soft wheat character, then they layer in specialty coffee. It's basically banana notes and coffee aroma shaking hands.
MugiA handshake party in my glass? Okay, so weizen means a wheat beer, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's usually fluffy and smooth, and here they pair it with Enigma, a premium bean made through a special fermentation process, using Castillo coffee beans.
MugiWait, the beans have lore too? And Enigma sounds like a final boss name!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The name overlaps the Enigma bean with 'enigmatic,' aiming for a sip where coffee and hop aromas bloom. Plus it's 5% ABV, so it sounds easy to drink.
MugiThat is unfairly tempting. And they even did a small bottling run, so you can drink it bottled too?
Hop BroYep. It's the first 'NOMENDO customer's product' release, and the article says service starts at 6 p.m. the next day. After hearing all that, I need that first sip.
MugiSame here! If the coffee aroma and hops really open together, I'm ready to say pour me a glass right now!
Nomendo Brew Stand is a craft-beer specialty bar in Koshigaya, Saitama. On its official site, the brewery says it obtained its brewing license in January 2024 and became Koshigaya City's first brewery.
In an Instagram post, Nomendo introduced a new project called "NOMENDO customer's product," a series built around collaborating with customers by drawing on their specialties. The first release was created with barista Yuto Sasaki and uses specialty coffee.
The beer is called "ENIGMA BLOOM." Nomendo says the name combines "Enigma," a high-grade coffee bean made through a special fermentation process, with the idea of something enigmatic, aiming for a drink where coffee and hop aromas bloom in the glass. The coffee used in the beer is Castillo, and the recipe was built around the Weizen style as a COFFEE WEIZEN at 5% ABV. A small bottled batch was also prepared, alongside tap service.
For a local brewery in Koshigaya, the release shows how its taproom can also function as a place for cross-disciplinary collaboration.
