Moyamoya Base Updates Its Tap Lineup with Three Craft Beers
Moyamoya Base, a craft beer pub in Sapporo’s Minami 2-jo Higashi area, has updated its tap lineup. The current selection includes a peach-infused wheat beer from Osaka, a ponzu-inspired sour ale from Kanagawa, and a fruit-forward IPA.
Hop BroMoyamoya Base in Sapporo’s Minami 2-jo Higashi has three distinctive taps on now. That is a seriously fun tasting lineup!
MugiPeach, ponzu, and something like mixed juice?! That is a lot to process in one beer list!
Hop BroFirst up is Minoh Beer from Osaka with its Domestic Peach Weizen. It uses Shimizu white peaches, with soft sweetness and a 5.0% ABV.
MugiWait, what is a weizen again? It is not peach juice with bread floating in it, right? A wheat beer, maybe?
Hop BroClose—but no floating bread! A weizen is a German-style beer made with wheat malt, known for its soft, gentle mouthfeel. It works beautifully with peach.
MugiOoh, that sounds fluffy and easy to drink. But this ponzu sour ale—do they pour hot-pot dipping sauce straight into it?
Hop BroThat one is GRANDLINE BREWING’s “PONZ MAGIC” from Kanagawa. It uses Mizkan ponzu and is a 3.0% ABV Ponzu-Style Sour Ale.
MugiWhat even is that? Is a sour ale a beer you drink while making a lemon-face? So tartness takes center stage?
Hop BroExactly: it is an ale that highlights acidity. PONZ MAGIC layers a little sweetness over fresh tartness, making it great with food—fried dishes, especially.
MugiThen there is Derailleur Brew Works from Osaka with “Shinsekai Neuromancer”! Peach and banana in a mixed-juice-inspired IPA is wonderfully wild!
Hop BroAt 7.0% ABV, it aims for fruit aroma alongside a proper IPA presence. IPA means a hop-forward style, so the appeal is that rich fruit meets hops.
MugiStart soft with peach weizen, refresh with ponzu sour, then finish big with IPA! I suddenly want to raise a glass in Sapporo!
A new tap lineup in Sapporo
Moyamoya Base, a beer pub located in Minami 2-jo Higashi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, has replaced one keg and is presenting a lineup of beers from different regions and styles.
The first highlight is Minoh Beer’s Kokusan Momo Weizen Shimizu Hakuto, brewed in Osaka. Made with Shimizu Hakuto white peaches, the beer is characterized by an aromatic peach profile and gentle fruit sweetness. Its soft wheat-beer texture allows the fruit character to remain at the center, while the listed alcohol content is 5.0% ABV.
From GRANDLINE BREWING in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, comes PONZ MAGIC. This 3.0% ABV Ponzu-Style Sour Ale uses Mizkan ponzu and combines a refreshing acidity with a subtle sweetness. Light and food-friendly, it offers an unusual interpretation of the familiar Japanese citrus seasoning.
The third beer is Shinsekai Neuromance from Derailleur Brew Works in Osaka. Listed at 7.0% ABV, this IPA is known for its concept inspired by Osaka’s mixed-fruit juice. Peach and banana notes contribute a rich fruit impression, while the IPA base gives the beer a fuller presence.
Together, the lineup covers a fruit-driven wheat beer, a bright and low-alcohol sour ale, and a richer fruit-oriented IPA. Moyamoya Base’s changing taps offer beer drinkers in Sapporo an opportunity to compare very different approaches to fruit and acidity in craft beer.
