Three New AMAKUSA SONAR BEER Arrivals Have Landed at Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store
In an Instagram post from Nippon no Craft Beer Koguma Saketen Sendai Station East Exit Main Store, three labels from AMAKUSA SONAR BEER in Amakusa, Kumamoto were introduced. From a fruit-forward sour ale to an 8% hazy IPA, it is a lineup with a very clear range of flavors.
Hop BroThree new beers from AMAKUSA SONAR BEER in Kumamoto’s Amakusa have arrived at Koguma Saketen Main Store near Sendai Station East Exit. From fruit-forward sours to hazy IPAs, it really feels like a lineup made for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWhoa! Three labels all at once? And they’re all so different? Being able to compare a sour and an IPA in one shop feels a bit like a treasure hunt, and that’s kind of fun!
Hop BroThe first highlight has to be BANANA SPLASH. It’s a smoothie sour ale, and the star is a dense, soft fruitiness that layers ripe banana with peach, pineapple, and even apple.
MugiWait, what is a smoothie sour ale? You mean beer that tastes like a banana smoothie? Is it basically invading breakfast territory?
Hop BroIt’s close in feel, but it’s definitely still beer. Think of it as a sour ale with bright acidity, plus extra fruity body, so when you drink it, that layered fruit character opens up softly.
MugiOhhh! So what kind of beer is Native Dancer? The name sounds like it wants to dance, and it seems like it would be pretty lively too!
Hop BroThis one is a hazy IPA, using Mosaic and El Dorado hops to bring out aromas like white grape and citrus. The key point is that it finishes cleanly, without letting sweetness linger too long.
MugiWow, Mosaic and El Dorado are hop names! They sound like item names from a game, so strong, and it’s amazing that hops can change the aroma that much!
Hop BroAnd then there’s the wild one, EPISODE V, a hazy IPA at 8% ABV. White grape, passion fruit, and guava push to the front, making it a beer that really emphasizes heft while driving the hop aroma hard.
MugiWhoa, 8% ABV is pretty strong, right? It sounds fragrant and delicious, but it also seems like the kind of beer that could make you unable to get off the sofa before you know it!
Hop BroExactly, which is why the clear difference in flavor direction is so good: the sour BANANA SPLASH, the balanced Native Dancer, and the rich EPISODE V. In Sendai Station East Exit, that kind of range is a pretty exciting arrival.
MugiNow I’m totally interested! With three beers that make side-by-side tasting fun, starting with the fruit-forward one and finishing with the hazy IPA sounds like the best flow. Suddenly, I feel motivated to work hard just so I can drink beer today!

- Native Dancer
A hazy IPA. Using hops such as Mosaic and El Dorado, it aims for aromas reminiscent of white grapes and citrus, with a clean finish that does not cling too much to sweetness.
