Izuyashoten adds three Kyoto Brewing beers: lime-mint sour, red IPA, and peach sour
Izuyashoten in Nakano, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo has received three new beers from Kyoto Brewing. The lineup spans a lime-mint sour ale, a seasonal red IPA, and a rich peach fruit sour, offering very different profiles in one release.
Hop BroIzuya Shoten in Nakanobu just got three fresh Kyoto Brewing beers. MIMO HAMO, AKI NO KIMAGURE 2026, and JUN, and the contrast between them is the fun part.
MugiWhat! All three have different personalities? Same brewery, but it sounds like they all switched classes overnight!
Hop BroFirst up, MIMO HAMO is a mojito-inspired sour ale. It has lime aroma, minty freshness, a light tartness, and then a clean dry finish.
MugiWhat is that! If it’s mojito or beer, my taste buds are going to start a staff meeting!
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it’s fun. Sour ale just means gently tart beer, and dry means the sweetness doesn’t stick around. So it becomes a great match for spicy food.
MugiWhoa! Then what about JUN? The second I hear like white peach nectar, I want to jam a straw into the can.
Hop BroPlease don’t do that. JUN is a peach fruit sour ale with huge white peach character, a creamy mouthfeel, soft acidity, and a tropical lift at the end.
MugiWow, so it looks like dessert but can still close the show. But what exactly is a red IPA anyway? Is it just red and overly confident?
Hop BroNot overly confident, just dependable. A red IPA is hops and malt together, with citrus and pine from American hops plus lightly toasted malt depth.
MugiPine? Are we drinking the garden now? Craft beer really decided nature study starts at first sip!
Hop BroIt’s just an aroma comparison, so relax. Talking about this already makes me want all three beers, and lined up at Izuya Shoten they’d be a perfect tasting flight.
MugiThat settles it! I want to start with MIMO HAMO, melt into JUN, and finish with AKI NO KIMAGURE 2026. I want a glass now!
Izuyashoten, a beer pub in Nakano, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, has added three new beers from Kyoto Brewing. The lineup includes "Mimo Hamo (MIMO HAMO)", "Aki no Kimagure 2026 (AKI NO KIMAGURE)", and "Jun (JUN)". Each beer has a clearly different character, making this a release that invites side-by-side comparison.
Mimo Hamo (MIMO HAMO)
A lime-mint sour ale inspired by a mojito. Bright citrus aroma, refreshing mint, gentle acidity, and a dry finish make it a strong choice for late summer heat. It should also pair well with spicy dishes.
Aki no Kimagure 2026 (AKI NO KIMAGURE)
A seasonal favorite from Kyoto Brewing, this time in a classic red IPA style. American hops bring citrus and pine notes, while lightly toasted malt adds depth and balance. It is the kind of beer best enjoyed slowly, with a long finish.
Jun (JUN)
A peach fruit sour ale with a nectar-like richness. The beer leans into white peach sweetness and juicy fruit character, then finishes with gentle acidity and a light tropical edge. Its creamy texture and colorful can design also make it visually appealing.
For a neighborhood beer pub like Izuyashoten, this kind of release works well: one refreshing sour, one hop-forward seasonal IPA, and one fruit-driven sour ale. It is a compact but varied lineup that suits the current transition from summer into autumn.
