B.M.B Brewery Releases B.S.W, a Session Brut IPA with Japanese Pepper and Hyuganatsu
Miyazaki-based B.M.B Brewery has released B.S.W, a 5.0% Session Brut IPA featuring Japanese pepper and Hyuganatsu citrus. Designed by a beer sommelier, the beer combines a light, dry palate with fresh citrus aroma and a subtle peppery lift, making it a natural match for Japanese cuisine.
Hop BroMiyazaki City's BMB Brewery has released a beer called B.S.W—made with Japanese sansho pepper and hyuganatsu citrus!
MugiWhat?! Pepper in beer? That hyuganatsu pairing suddenly makes me crave sashimi!
Hop BroIt’s a Session Brut IPA at an easy 5.0% ABV—light-bodied and dry, you know.
MugiWhat even is a Session Brut IPA? It sounds like a beer-world spell. Is there champagne in it?
Hop Bro“Brut” means crisp and dry, while “Session” means it’s built for easy drinking. So think a light, dry IPA. No champagne—though the bubbles may have gotten you excited.
MugiOh, got it! Easy to sip, but still aromatic? I can totally imagine fresh hyuganatsu aromas!
Hop BroExactly. Instead of pushing hop bitterness to the front, it layers citrus aroma with a refreshing sansho lift.
MugiSo it’s not a huge peppery punch—it’s a gentle aroma. I once used so much sansho my tongue got lost! Now I want to try pairing it with condiments.
Hop BroIt should work beautifully with sashimi, grilled fish, or lightly seasoned deli dishes. It’s very much a beer for meals, fitting a brewery that has brewed in Miyazaki since 2018.
MugiAt ¥880 including tax, I want grilled fish tonight and a B.S.W toast! Hyuganatsu and sansho, come to our table!
A Session Brut IPA built around Japanese ingredients
B.S.W is a Session Brut IPA brewed with Japanese pepper and Hyuganatsu, a citrus variety associated with Miyazaki. The name refers to the beer’s three defining elements: Brut, Sansho pepper and Japanese citrus. It contains 5.0% alcohol and is listed at ¥880 including tax.
According to the product description, B.S.W offers a light and dry drinking experience with a crisp finish. Fresh Hyuganatsu aroma comes through on the palate, while Japanese pepper adds a subtle, refreshing accent. Rather than relying solely on bitterness, the beer is presented as a balanced expression of aromatic Japanese ingredients.
Made for the dinner table
B.M.B Brewery describes B.S.W as an excellent pairing for Japanese food. The citrus character is intended to complement the flavors of a meal, suggesting pairings with dishes such as sashimi, grilled fish and lightly seasoned side dishes. Its gentle pepper note may also work well with foods that traditionally use Japanese pepper as a condiment.
B.M.B Brewery was founded in Miyazaki City in November 2018, beginning its brewing operation in the Jingū area. In July 2024, the brewery completed a larger facility in Kiyotake, Miyazaki City. Working under the concept of “from beer to culture,” the brewery aims to create craft beer beyond conventional boundaries.
With local citrus and Japanese pepper at its core, B.S.W presents a distinctly Miyazaki-inspired approach to a modern Session Brut IPA. It is a beer suited to drinkers looking for a crisp, aromatic pour that can accompany an everyday meal.
