Shodoshima's Mamemame Beer to turn former inn into Seikai-so
Shodoshima brewpub Mamemame Beer has announced a project to convert a former inn near the port into Seikai-so, a complex with brewing, dining, hands-on experiences, and lodging. An online talk introducing the plan is scheduled for July 2.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Mame Mame Beer’s new project. This brewpub on Shodoshima is turning a former inn near the port into a multi-use place called Seikaiso.
MugiWhat! A former inn makeover with craft beer? That somehow makes me want to travel and toast at the same time!
Hop BroAnd it’s not just a bigger bar. The plan combines brewing, dining, experiences, and lodging so one drink on the island becomes a full stay.
MugiHold on, what even is a brewpub? The second English shows up, my brain clocks out!
Hop BroA brewpub is a place that brews and serves on site. Mame Mame Beer is within walking distance of Sakate Port, and it makes small-batch, unfiltered handmade beer using local Shodoshima ingredients.
MugiOoh, local island ingredients already sound delicious. I’m ready to read the beer menu before the sightseeing guide.
Hop BroOne example is Akamamemame, their classic regular. It sounds like a good starting point if you want the core profile of the brewery.
MugiThat name is adorable. So what about Kinmamemame? It sounds like it should improve my luck and my wallet!
Hop BroThat one’s the fun curveball. It’s a sake yeast ale made with koji and rice, so you get fermentation notes that can remind you of sake.
MugiWait, beer that tastes a bit sake-like? What even is sake yeast? My face is doing a full loading animation right now.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it can create soft Japanese-style aromas during fermentation. That makes it great with food, and the July 2 online intro event should make people want a glass even more.
MugiThen it’s settled: watch online, then drink on the island. I want to stay at Seikaiso and compare Akamamemame with Kinmamemame properly!
Mamemame Beer on Shodoshima has announced a new project to convert a former inn near the port into Seikai-so, a multi-use space that combines brewing, dining, hands-on experiences, and lodging. The idea is to deepen the island beer experience by connecting a pint not only to the taproom, but also to staying on the island and learning about it.
The brewery currently operates as a brewpub within walking distance of Sakate Port. Its website describes the beer as a handcrafted, unfiltered product made with plenty of Shodoshima ingredients and brewed in small batches. That local, ingredient-driven approach carries over naturally into the new plan.
Examples from the lineup include `Aka Mamemame`, a core beer for the brewery, and `Kin Mamemame`, a sake-yeast ale brewed with rice and koji. The former represents the brewery's standard line, while the latter leans into fermentation character and pairs well with food. An online talk introducing the project is scheduled for July 2, 2026, offering a closer look at how Mamemame Beer wants to deepen the way visitors experience the island.
