Kitazawa Konishi gets three NOMCRAFT x Toei Space Sheriff beers
Kitazawa Konishi in Shimokitazawa has received three official beers from the NOMCRAFT x Toei Space Sheriff series. The lineup includes Gavan's Jouchaku IPA, Sharivan's Sekisha Lager, and Shaider's Shoketsu Sour, making for a beer set worth comparing side by side.
Hop BroShimokitazawa is heating up today, with three beers landing at Kitazawa Konishi. Nomcraft and Toei’s official Space Sheriff collaboration beers just arrived all at once.
MugiWhat? Official Space Sheriff beers? No way! That sounds like the labels alone could trigger a transformation sequence, and we can compare all three?
Hop BroFirst up is Gavan Jochaku IPA. It’s a West Coast IPA at 6.5% ABV, built around dank citrusy hop aroma and a sharp, clean bitterness.
MugiWait, what is a dank aroma? Because all I can picture is someone flying in for a basketball dunk.
Hop BroFair question. A green resinous character is the easy version of that term. It’s a deep, slightly wild hop smell, and when citrus stacks on top, the finish gets really crisp.
MugiOhhh, so even the aroma feels transformed. Then what about Sharivan Redsha Lager? The name already sounds intense.
Hop BroThat one’s a Red Lager, and the reddish color plus fuller malt body are the main event. It’s 5% ABV, with restrained hop presence, so it drinks smooth and steady.
MugiThat’s hilarious. Gentle hop character with a name like Redsha? That’s like a hero who looks fierce but gives excellent life advice.
Hop BroThen the third is Shaider Shoketsu Sour. It’s a Citrus Sour Ale at 4.5% ABV, using Mosaic with lemon and lime juice for a bright, easygoing tartness.
MugiHold on, they have kakuchi standing drinks on-site too? And Kitazawa Konishi carries over 200 craft beers and hard ciders? That’s more choices than outer space.
Hop BroExactly. A three-beer tasting flight is the perfect way to line up the different styles with each character’s world, and now I want to try that immediately.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want to rush to Shimokitazawa and go full hero mode: Gavan first, Sharivan second, and Shaider to finish. Let’s toast the whole lineup.
Kitazawa Konishi, the Shimokitazawa specialty shop for craft beer and hard cider, has welcomed three collaboration beers from NOMCRAFT x Toei's official Space Sheriff series. For beer fans, the appeal is not just the character branding, but how clearly each beer is built around a different style.
The three releases are:
- Space Sheriff Gavan: Jouchaku IPA
West Coast IPA, ABV 6.5%, IBU 50. It uses Equinox, Chinook, Citra, and McKenzie, aiming for dank citrus-driven hop aroma and a sharp, clean bitterness.
- Space Sheriff Sharivan: Sekisha Lager
Red Lager, ABV 5%, IBU 30. Brewed with Nugget and Callista, it leans into a reddish color, malt depth, and a gentle hop profile.
- Space Sheriff Shaider: Shoketsu Sour
Citrus Sour Ale, ABV 4.5%, IBU 30. Mosaic is paired with lemon and lime juice for a bright, easygoing citrus acidity.
Kitazawa Konishi carries more than 200 craft beers and hard ciders from Japan and abroad, and its kakuuchi setup lets customers drink what they buy on site. That makes it a natural fit for this kind of themed release: you can compare the three beers in one place and enjoy the contrast between style, flavor, and pop-culture concept.
