Hop BroNerima has a hot topic today, THORNBRIDGE new arrivals have landed at Sekimachi Cellar.
MugiWhat! That sounds absolutely worth checking out! And I heard it's three IPA varieties debuting - is that really true!?
Hop BroIt really is. This lineup is Hazy, Imperial, and Session, and each one has a clearly different character.
MugiWhat is that even! Just the name Hazy Session IPA has so much info that my brain is bubbling over!
Hop BroTo put it simply, Hazy Jaipur is juicy at 5.9%, Halcyon is rich at 7.4%, and Green Mountain is brisk at 4.3% - a drink-by-strength comparison.
MugiOhhh! But what exactly is this DDH Jaipur origin they mentioned!?
Hop BroSo, DDH means a design that strengthens dry hopping - in other words, adding hops after fermentation to boost the aroma.
MugiI see! Green Mountain's Galaxy Mosaic Citra Amarillo sounds like the four guardians of aroma - that's exciting!
Hop BroAnd Sekimachi Cellar has a first-floor kaku-uchi counter and a second-floor terrace, so it really stands out for its ease of use whether you're drinking on-site or taking beer home.
MugiBut if the post said quantities are limited, then if we take our time it could sell out...!
Hop BroExactly. Tonight I'd want to drink all three in order and even do mood-based pairings.
MugiDeal! I'm starting with Hazy Jaipur first, I'm totally in I want to drink this right now mode!
Sekimachi Cellar in Sekimachi Higashi, Nerima Ward, Tokyo, announced the arrival of THORNBRIDGE beers in a post dated March 19, 2026. The three beers introduced this time are all IPA styles. The post noted, "Quantities are limited, so please hurry," suggesting that stock is limited.
This Time's Lineup
- Hazy Jaipur (Hazy IPA / ABV 5.9%)
Uses the same ingredients as DDH Jaipur and emphasizes tropical flavors reminiscent of mango and pineapple. It is characterized by a soft mouthfeel and juicy profile.
- Halcyon (Imperial IPA / ABV 7.4%)
Designed to bring out hop nuances that evoke pineapple, grapefruit, lemon peel, and pine. With its stronger ABV, this is a beer built for a more substantial drinking experience.
- Green Mountain (Hazy Session IPA / ABV 4.3%)
Features a fragrant aroma from dry hopping with Galaxy, Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo. It balances the light drinkability of a session beer with juicy, fruit-forward character.
Sekimachi Cellar is a shop based on a long-established liquor store that has long operated along Ome Kaido, and its first-floor kaku-uchi counter and second-floor terrace are also notable features. It is easy to use both for people who want to enjoy a drink inside the shop and for those who want to take beer home and savor it slowly. THORNBRIDGE is known as an award-winning brewery, and these three beers clearly offer options for "rich," "high-alcohol," and "low-alcohol" preferences. It is a lineup that makes it easy to choose according to mood or meal.
