Japan's craft beer scene has a fresh arrival at Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store: new beers from B.M.B BREWERY in Miyazaki have come in. The lineup includes three smoothie sours, including a much-talked-about collaboration, plus one wood-aged brown porter, offering both bright fruit character and roasted depth in a single selection.
Hop BroThere’s an interesting new arrival in the Sendai Station East Exit area, and four spring-friendly varieties have landed. Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store has B.M.B BREWERY’s new releases on the shelves.
MugiWhoa! Just the names already sound delicious! So B.M.B BREWERY is a brewery in Miyazaki. I’m happy we can drink it in Sendai!
Hop BroExactly. This time there are three smoothie sours with a strong fruit focus, and the point is that they’re light and easy to drink at 4% ABV.
MugiWhat even is a smoothie sour? And 4% ABV means the alcohol is light, right?
Hop BroRight, ABV is the alcohol percentage. And smoothie sours are packed with lots of fruit character, with acidity and sweetness blended into something thick and smooth, kind of like juice but still definitely beer.
MugiI might love that! The first one I want to try is HIGASHIE. Banana, apple, and mango? That’s way too much going on!
Hop BroHIGASHIE is a collaboration with Delayla Brewery, and it has a mixed-juice-level thickness. On top of that you get sour cherry, lime, and even custard cream, so it’s the kind of beer that makes your brain a little happy when you drink it.
MugiCustard cream too!? That’s basically dessert in beer form! I’m also curious about Vibesmooth. Shikuwasa sounds like it would be nice and sharp!
Hop BroVibesmooth is an AGARIHAMA collaboration, and the yuzu and peach combination really works. The acidity comes through, but then a gentle sweetness follows, so it’s not too sour and stays easy to drink.
MugiThat sounds great. I’d want to finish with The Giving Oak. Woody and vanilla-scented, it feels a little night-time even though it’s spring, and I like that.
Hop BroThe deep-roasted malt richness carries the oak-chip woodiness, so the balance of roast and barrel aroma is really clean. It makes you want to keep going, whether you push the fruit forward today or end with something calm.
MugiYeah, now I totally want to go drink! It feels like a tasting paradise, and I’d want to chase the whole lineup in Sendai Station East Exit!
If you follow craft beer in the Sendai Station East Exit area, this new arrival is one you won't want to miss. In the latest new-arrival information shared by Koguma Sake Shop Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, a set of easy-drinking, spring-friendly beers has appeared, centered on offerings from B.M.B BREWERY (Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture).
The main focus this time is smoothie sours that put fruit front and center. All of them are 4% ABV, and because each one differs in how its aroma comes forward and how its acidity is built, the lineup clearly invites side-by-side tasting even within the same style.
- HIGASHIE (ABV 4%)
A collaboration with Delayla Brewery in Osaka. Its signature is a thick, mixed-juice-like body built from layers of banana, apple, mango, peach, sour cherry, lime, and custard cream.
- Vibesmooth (ABV 4%)
An AGARIHAMA collaboration. Sharp acidity from shikuwasa and yuzu is layered with the soft sweetness of peach.
- ZEST PUNK (ABV 4%)
It moves impressively from tropical notes from peach, mango, and guava into a citrus finish of banpeiyu and lemon.
- The Giving Oak (ABV 5%)
A wood-aged brown porter. Deep-roasted malt richness is joined by the woodiness of oak chips and a subtle vanilla aroma.
The post also mentions the Delayla x B.M.B cross-collab NISHIE x HIGASHIE, making this a release you can enjoy with the collaboration context in mind as well. Do you go fruity, or choose the calm finish that comes from the barrel? One shop offering that much range is exactly the appeal of Koguma Sake Shop.
