On May 26, the craft beer specialty shop Sangenjaya Sanity will host an L&B Sandwiches POP-UP.

Hop BroOn May 26, L&B Sandwiches POP-UP is coming to Sangenjaya Sanity. It’s a day to enjoy the new staple sandwich “UNCLE JAM” together with guest beers.
MugiWait, the sandwich is the star too, not just the beer!? And you can even compare it with the beers? My stomach is already lining up first!
Hop BroFirst up to watch is Firestone Walker’s official 2026 beer, a West Coast IPA with a clean outline. It has aromas of peach, mandarin peel, and mango, and the aroma really pops.
MugiWhen I hear West Coast, I only think of oceanfront scenery, but what do you mean by the outline of an IPA!? Do they draw lines on the beer or something?
Hop BroGood question. Basically, the balance between bitterness and aroma is clear, and it doesn’t lean too much toward sweetness. Then UNCLE JAM brings the sweetness of bacon jam, so the contrast lands really nicely.
MugiI see, so sweet, sour, and spicy all show up at once. With the acidity of tomato and jalapeño too, it’s like a tiny festival in my mouth!
Hop BroAnd the VERTERE and Totopia Brewery collaboration is a Hazy DIPA, with orange and pineapple-like fruitiness up front. The bitterness is restrained, so if you like juicy styles, this should be pretty approachable.
MugiJust from the name, Hazy DIPA sounds intense, but it’s actually easy to drink!? And if the bitterness is restrained, I might be able to try it without getting scared!
Hop BroVERTERE’s blonde ale “Benitoa” is interesting too, with hints of clove and banana alongside white grape and pear. The yeast-derived aroma really comes through, so it’s not just light and simple, which is nice.
MugiHearing that makes me want to drink everything! And West Coast Brewing’s rich stout lineup sounds tempting too. Isn’t Sangenjaya the perfect place to start a drinking crawl?
Hop BroExactly. With Yorocco Beer’s Hometown Stout and even a smoked pils on hand, today is a day to really play around with food and guest beers. It makes you want to stop by Sanity, bite into a sandwich, and compare each beer one by one.
MugiYeah, this is impossible, I want to go drinking right now! Let’s start with the sandwich and chase it with the beer afterward!
