Sake Super Max brings in new arrivals from ANTELOPE, FETISH CLUB, and more before Golden Week
Sake Super Max in Shimao, Himi City, Toyama Prefecture, announced its Golden Week business hours and this week’s new arrivals on Instagram. A lineup of distinctive beers and meads is on offer from ANTELOPE in Shiga, Sierra Nevada in the U.S., and FETISH CLUB from Tokyo and Yamaguchi.
Hop BroSake Super Max in Shimao, Himi City, really came in swinging again before Golden Week, didn’t it? It’s a shop that puts out new arrivals almost every week, and this time the lineup includes ANTELOPE from Shiga, Sierra Nevada from the U.S., and even FETISH CLUB from Tokyo and Yamaguchi. That’s exciting.
MugiWait, all at once? That’s way too many distinctive picks at once. I feel dizzy just looking at the shelf!
Hop BroFirst, ANTELOPE’s `SANAGI 6 Omoide` is a 6th anniversary mead. It brings out kumquat-like notes, a sense of greenery, and even rose nuances, so the aroma alone starts telling a story.
MugiMead is honey wine, right? And yet with kumquat and rose too, it’s basically a traffic jam of style!
Hop BroExactly. When a honey base carries impressions of fruit and herbs, the shape of the sweetness really comes into focus. `SANAGI 7 Umi` uses Hiroshima lemon, peppermint, and bergamot, so it’s the kind of beer with a clearly defined aroma design.
MugiLemon, peppermint, and bergamot? That’s like an aroma triple jump! I could travel just with my nose!
Hop BroAnd Sierra Nevada’s `Summerfest`, due in tomorrow, is one to watch as a lager for hot weather. It’s crisp and easy to drink, but it still has that gentle malt outline you want from a lager, so it’s strong for daytime drinking during Golden Week.
MugiDay drinking warning! But if it’s a lager, I can totally see it going down smoothly. That’s a dangerous one!
Hop BroFrom FETISH CLUB, there are three bottles: `VELVET ART`, `MUSEUM`, and `OKAN ART`, spanning Bitter Orange IPA, DDH Hazy IPA, and DDH Pale Ale. Especially with DDH styles, the aroma explosion is the kind where the hops say hello the moment you open it.
MugiWhat is that? It sounds so fun! And if they’re open nonstop until May 6 and closed on May 7, that means I have to go now!
Hop BroExactly. They also seem to be sharing follow-up news on `BEACH SUMMIT` in the store, so it feels like a place where you can’t miss the updates. If you’re following craft beer in Himi, a shop with this much arrival density is definitely worth checking.
MugiAlright, now I’m way too curious! I want to stop by the Himi shelf and decide on my tonight’s drink candidate!

This time, the “Now in stock!” selections featured two items from ANTELOPE in Shiga Prefecture. `SANAGI 6 Omoide` is a mead brewed for the 6th anniversary festival, a bottle that promises nuances of kumquat, greenery, and rose. `SANAGI 7 Umi` is a mead made with lemon from Hiroshima Prefecture, peppermint, and bergamot, with a clearly defined aromatic profile.
