At Awa Store -OUR STORE- in Hiroshima, guest beer AMAKUSA SONAR BEER was introduced through `BANANA SPLASH / Banana Splash`. The post dated August 11, 2026 describes it as a 3.5% ABV Fruits Smoothie Sour. It is built around a strong ripe-banana character, then layered with peach, pineapple, and apple, with Amakusa soft serve and coconut adding a rich, dessert-like finish.

This is the kind of beer that leans less toward a sharp sour profile and more toward a dessert-influenced fruit beer experience. With banana at the center and several fruits stacked on top of each other, it should be interesting for drinkers who like to trace how each ingredient shows up in the glass. The lower ABV also makes it easy to fit as a pre-dinner drink or a slow, post-meal pour.

Awa Store is a Hiroshima beer pub built for craft beer drinkers who want something approachable but well stocked. You can drink on site, but it also works as a place to pick up bottles and follow the shop’s online offerings. The post notes that items may be sold out when you visit, so heading there early is the safer move if you want this specific beer. For fans of fruit-forward sour beers, it is one to keep on the radar.
