ISLAND BREWERY and WCB's "Time Slip" Arrive at Kadoya Marche Komae
Kadoya Marche Komae announced the arrival of beers from ISLAND BREWERY and WEST COAST BREWING. In the post, it also showed Yatsugatake Brewery's standard lager and weizen in photos, alongside word that WCB's "Time Slip" is currently on tap.
Hop BroHaving ISLAND BREWERY and WCB arrive at the same time at Komae Station is pretty exciting. And Kadoya Marche Komae timed the new arrivals to the seasonal shift, which really shows they know what they’re doing.
MugiWhoa, so they have that much going on right by the station!? Just 30 seconds on foot from Komae Station means there are probably people for whom it’s closer than home!
Hop BroExactly. First is ISLAND BREWERY from Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture, and what’s interesting is that their concept is beer that goes with fish. It’s light and aromatic, so pairing it with sashimi or grilled fish feels really nice.
MugiOhhh! But "light" sounds kind of vague, doesn’t it? I’m curious what a flavor that supports a meal actually feels like!
Hop BroFor example, the aroma comes softly and first without being too assertive, and the finish fades cleanly. So it doesn’t get in the way of the fish’s fat or umami. Bright and crisp is a pretty spot-on way to put it.
MugiGot it! Then next is WEST COAST BREWING! Seeing Time Slip on tap makes me want to drink it just from the name!
Hop BroWCB is a brewery at Mochimune Fishing Port in Shizuoka City, and they’re great at hop character like West Coast beers from the U.S. A beer like Time Slip is hop aroma front and center, with the scent hitting first.
MugiIs hop aroma really that different? Wow, suddenly we’ve got technical jargon! Aroma intensity sounds kind of strong and scary!
Hop BroNo need to be scared. Basically it means citrus and tropical aromas really pop. And this time you can enjoy it as a glass pour at the shop, so the nice thing is you can aim for that freshly poured feeling.
MugiWow, the photos had Yatsugatake Brewery stuff too! Pilsner and Dunkel already sound cool, but now I’m getting confused about what’s different!
Hop BroPilsner is clean and crisp, Dunkel is a darker lager with a bit of roast character, Kiyosato Lager is easy to drink, and Rock Weizen brings out wheat softness. In other words, the shop has a wide range, from lagers to weizens.
MugiIf there’s this much choice right by the station, I’m going to stop by after work! Being able to have one drink like a standing bar and take some home is the best!
Hop BroExactly. Kadoya Marche Komae is easy to stop by from the station but the lineup is seriously solid. Today I want to think of fish with ISLAND BREWERY, and tomorrow I want WCB’s Time Slip to launch me into hops.
MugiYeah, now I really want to go drink! Hearing there’s something to drink in Komae right now makes my feet want to head straight to the station!
Overview of the Arrival
In an Instagram post from Kadoya Marche Komae, the store announced that new and regular beers had arrived in step with the end of cherry blossom season and the start of rising temperatures. The first brewery mentioned in the post is ISLAND BREWERY from Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture. With the concept of making beer that pairs well with fish, the brewery is characterized by its light drinkability and bright, aromatic profile. The introduction also suggests pairing it with sashimi and grilled fish, making it easy to imagine enjoying it with a meal.
Next is WEST COAST BREWING. Based at Mochimune Fishing Port in Shizuoka City, this brewery specializes in hop-forward styles inspired by the beers of the American West Coast. The post says "Time Slip" is available on tap, so you can enjoy it there in a glass at the counter.
The Lineup Visible in Photos
The carousel photos also show bottles and packaging from YATSUGATAKE BEER TOUCHDOWN. The beer names that can be confirmed are Pilsner, Dunkel, Kiyosato Lager, and Rock Weizen. These are all easy-to-pick-up staples, and the lineup clearly spans everything from lagers to wheat beers.
The images also show the ROCK logo and the wording "ROCK Kiyosato Moeginomura," reinforcing the strong presence of the Yamanashi/Kiyosato brand. Since the post includes photos of the store's beer shelves along with an event-like display, it makes it easy to visually grasp what's currently available.
