Mineshoten in Urayasu Features KOMPAS from Minoh Beer and Yorocco Beer
Mineshoten, a beer pub in Urayasu, introduced the collaboration beer KOMPAS from Minoh Beer and Yorocco Beer in an Instagram post on August 22. It is a saison brewed with fresh plum and is being highlighted as a guest beer.
Hop BroToday I've gotta talk about KOMPAS on guest tap at Mine Shoten in Urayasu. It's a collab between MINOH BEER and YOROCCO BEER, and it's a saison made with fresh plums.
MugiWhat, the name KOMPAS already sounds cool! And beer with plums? My brain just put on a festival headband.
Hop BroThat's the hook. MINOH BEER x YOROCCO BEER is a strong combo on its own, and they loaded this one with fresh plums from Hachihata Farm in Wakayama.
MugiOkay, but saison yeast suddenly sounds like a science quiz. Is that supposed to be tasty?
Hop BroVery much so. That saison yeast character gives it a refined, lightly spicy aroma and keeps the finish crisp.
MugiI need a picture here. What does it taste like? Is it basically plum juice, or does it still drink like beer?
Hop BroBest of both, really. A light malt body carries gentle plum tartness and fruitiness, and at 5.5% ABV with 20 IBU, it stays easy in hot weather.
MugiHold on, 20 IBU sounds like a jersey number. What is IBU?
Hop BroIn plain terms, it's a bitterness scale. Twenty is pretty gentle, and since it's unfiltered, the flavor feels fuller; Perle and Azacca help keep the aroma tidy and bright.
MugiOkay, this is absolutely a Mine Shoten pint situation. At around 8 to 12C, that sounds dangerously crushable, and you're craving one too, right?
Hop BroObviously. A seasonal collab saison like that is exactly what makes a guest beer worth chasing, and now I want to toast with a glass of KOMPAS tonight.
Mineshoten in Urayasu is presented as a beer pub where guests can enjoy craft beer as well as wine and sake. In its latest Instagram post, the shop featured KOMPAS as a guest beer.

The brewery describes the beer as having a light malt body, elegant saison character, and a gentle balance of plum acidity and fruitiness. That makes it an easy fit for warm weather while still showing the identity of the collaboration.
For a venue like Mineshoten, where beer sits alongside other drinks and food, a seasonal collab saison like KOMPAS stands out naturally. For drinkers looking for something beyond the usual lineup, this is a guest beer worth noting.
