In a March 19, 2026 post from Bia Ma Kitasenju, 9 new taps were announced along with Kankiku's "Sake Lees Smoothie Cream Soda." The post also shared arrival information for Uchu, Inkhorn, Rio Brewing, Isekado, Shimanami, and Soul Brewery, conveying the depth of both the shop's refrigerated case and canned lineup.
Hop BroToday's Bia Ma Kitasenju post is hot - they flipped the lineup with 9 new taps all at once!
MugiWhoa! Nine taps at once is a festival. Which one is the headliner? I heard it's Kankiku's new release!
Hop BroThe main attraction is Kankiku Meijo's Sake Lees Smoothie Cream Soda - it's a "drinkable dessert" style brew with sake lees, melon syrup, and an ice-cream-like feel.
MugiWhat?! Ice cream vibes in beer?! And sake lees too - is this a craft beer and sake fusion thing?
Hop BroExactly. If you think of the overlapping aromas as layers of flavor, the intent becomes really clear.
MugiLayers?! You just dropped a technical term on me! So you mean the order of flavors when you taste it?
Hop BroThat's exactly right - it starts with a sweet aroma, then the richness of the sake lees comes in later, so it's that kind of step-by-step deliciousness.
MugiNice! And the arrivals are huge too - Uchu, Inkhorn, Rio too - it's like a brewery traffic jam!
Hop BroThe lineup is really stacked, with 7 Rio beers, 4 Isekado, and 4 Soul Brewery releases, plus cans like ATOM PASSIONFRUIT, SHIMANAMI CAT, and even Black Tide's SAKURA for cherry blossom season.
MugiBeing able to drink in the shop and buy cans to take home is the best! It feels like the ultimate no-bar-hopping-needed spot in Kitasenju!
Hop BroWe should go before the taps kick - let's toast with Kankiku first and meet in Kitasenju tonight!
