Moyamoya Base in Sapporo taps Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5 and NEW鬼ヶ島Ⅸ
Moyamoya Base, a beer pub in Minami 2-jo Higashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, has updated its guest lineup with two beers: FAR YEAST BREWING's Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5 and Y.MARKET BREWING's NEW鬼ヶ島Ⅸ. The pair offers two very different drinking directions.
Hop BroAt Moya Moya Base in Sapporo, two fresh guest taps just came on. FAR YEAST BREWING’s 'Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5' and Y.MARKET BREWING’s 'NEW Onigashima IX' are both pouring, and that lineup really makes you want a side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhat! Those names go hard. Chapter.5 and Onigashima IX sound like two final bosses. So what’s actually different about them?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. 'Far Yeast TRIGGER Chapter.5' is a West Coast IPA, built around defined hop character and a crisp finish. 'NEW Onigashima IX,' on the other hand, is a Hazy IPA with a softer, juicier direction.
MugiHold on, defined hop character? What does that even mean? Do hops have cheekbones now? Am I supposed to sketch the beer before I drink it?
Hop BroNo sketching required. It just means the aroma and bitterness come through clearly. With a West Coast IPA, you usually get citrusy hop notes and a sharp, clean finish that snaps into place.
MugiOhhh! And 'NEW Onigashima IX' says ABV 8.0%, so that one must hit pretty hard, right? Even the name sounds like it could challenge me to a duel.
Hop BroThat one has its own appeal. It’s a Y.MARKET x Oni Densetsu collaboration series, and the beer leans into haze, a smooth mouthfeel, and juicy, fruit-like flavor.
MugiThat’s a great setup then. TRIGGER if I want crisp, Onigashima if I want plush and juicy. And Moya Moya Base having that tap-change excitement totally makes me want to keep checking what’s on.
Hop BroExactly. One of the best things about Moya Moya Base is how honestly it shows what’s pouring right now in central Sapporo. This time it’s two contrasting IPAs, so the comparison is especially fun.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want to compare both side by side. I’ll start with Onigashima IX, you start with TRIGGER Chapter.5, and we trade sips. Now I really want a beer.
