Hop BroToday I want to talk about the new pour at craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara: Iemorido's Nanamin. It's a 7th-anniversary Juicy IPA, and the name already grabs you.
MugiWait! A 7th anniversary beer called Nanamin? That is an intense level of devotion to the number seven!
Hop BroThat's exactly why it works. It uses seven kinds of hops, and the ABV is 7%. When a theme lands this cleanly, I have to respect it.
MugiBut what is a Juicy IPA exactly? I thought IPA was the style that makes your whole face scrunch up from bitterness!
Hop BroIt isn't just about bitterness. The key term here is yeast-derived esters, which is a simple way of saying fermentation creates fruity aromas, like peach or plum.
MugiWhat! That sciencey name sounds like a lab accident, but it's actually a fruit costume party!
Hop BroExactly. You get peach, mango, melon, and citrus, plus hints of ume and plum, so the fun is in the layered aroma rather than a one-note bitter punch.
MugiOoh! And craft beer BLUE keeps eight taps on draft, right? That makes a comparison round way too tempting.
Hop BroRight, and even swapping just one keg can change the whole lineup. Tonight I want a Nanamin-centered tasting with the other taps.
MugiThen it's settled! In that calm little pub, with an early evening pint, both of us are absolutely going for Nanamin tonight!
At craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, one new keg has been tapped today. The beer pub is known for serving eight rotating domestic craft beers on draft, making it a good stop for drinkers who like to follow tap changes closely.
The new pour is Yamorido 'Nanamin' Juicy IPA. It is a 7th-anniversary beer brewed to mark Yamorido's milestone, using seven featured hop varieties and finishing at 7% ABV. The name and recipe both lean into the number seven, which gives the release a clear identity.
In terms of flavor, the beer is built around bright hop aroma and a juicy profile. Notes reminiscent of peach, mango, melon, and citrus are part of the design, along with a subtle plum- or ume-like character from the yeast. Rather than pushing bitterness to the front, it aims for a layered fruit-driven IPA that rewards a slower sip.
Because craft beer BLUE updates its tap list regularly, even a single new keg can change the day’s lineup in a noticeable way. For beer fans in the area, this is the kind of bar where it makes sense to check what is pouring, then choose a second beer based on how the first one lands.
