Sakamichi Brewing announces four new NUDE BEER arrivals in Tachikawa
The Tachikawa, Tokyo brewery shared an Instagram update featuring four NUDE BEER releases. The lineup spans a wood-aged saison, a wood-aged lager, an IPA, and a juicy IPA, reflecting the brewery’s broad style range.
Hop BroToday I'm talking about four new NUDE BEERs that Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa just announced. The range goes from classic-leaning to modern, and that's a pretty sharp lineup.
MugiWait, four at once? And one of them uses wood? That's already beer-festival levels of information!
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is Kodama the saison. It's a 5.0% Wood Aged Saison w/Citrus, with yeast-driven fruity notes, orange-and-lemon citrus, and a deeper woody finish.
MugiHold on, wood aged means what exactly? Is it barrel aging, or do they just let the beer meditate next to a tree?
Hop BroBasically, it's about adding woody character to the beer. Here, Amatsukaze is a 4.5% Westcoast Lager Wood Age version brewed with cedar, layering Citra-derived grapefruit with green, piney aromas.
MugiNo way, that's drinkable forest bathing! A crisp lager that also smells like cedar and pine sounds like hiking gear in a glass.
Hop BroThen there's Kunpu, the oat IPA. It's 6.0%, and the oats make the texture smoother while grapefruit and mikan-like aromas stay clean and tidy.
MugiSo IPA really has subgenres. Then Juicy IPA means extra fruit-party mode, right? The name alone sounds like it could stain my shirt.
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. Yumoya is full tropical mode, a 6.0% Juicy IPA with mango, mikan, and passionfruit up front, plus enough body to feel substantial.
MugiI like that Sakamichi Brewing also values the process and pays attention to the environment and local ingredients. These four all sound totally different, which makes choosing impossible.
Hop BroExactly. A Tachikawa tasting flight would take you from saison to cedar lager to IPA to Juicy IPA in one smooth run.
MugiThen it's settled, I want a pour now! I'd start fresh with Kodama and land in tropical sunset mode with Yumoya.

- Kunpu: an IPA at 6.0%. It leans on oats for a smooth mouthfeel and grainy body, with grapefruit and warm mandarin-like citrus over a clean base.
