Four New NAMACHAん Brewing Beers Arrive at Sekimachi Cellar, From DIPA to Hojicha Ale
At the beer pub "Sekimachi Cellar" in Nerima, Tokyo, four new arrivals from NAMACHAん Brewing were announced. This time, the lineup includes a Double IPA, Japanese Tea Beer, American Pale Ale, and Dortmunder, offering a wide range of drinking experiences from hop-driven brightness to the roasted character of tea.
Hop BroSekimachi Cellar has four new NAMACHAん arrivals. The lineup is really broad this time, and that makes it interesting!
MugiWhoa! Sekimachi Cellar is the kakuuchi place, right? Having everything from a DIPA to a tea ale is such a huge range!
Hop BroExactly. It's the four styles from NAMACHAん Brewing: "Tsuyoki no, Nama.", "Hojicha Ale", "Nama Pe.", and "Namachan no Lager". A full four-style lineup.
MugiWhat?! In the description for "Tsuyoki no, Nama.", what does dank character even mean? The name alone already sounds intense!
Hop BroA DIPA is a Double IPA with 8.0% ABV, so the hops and overall body are both strong. Dank character is that sense of ripe fruit mixed with a slightly resinous edge, like an aroma intensity that's double-strength.
MugiOhhh! So when they say the "Hojicha Ale" tastes like a hojicha latte, is it really something like that?
Hop BroPretty close. It's a Japanese Tea Beer made with hojicha from Kagurazaka's "Rakuzan" and Sugamo's "Yamanen-en," with lactose sweetness layered in too, so it's a tea-infused brown.
MugiAmazing! Start with "Nama Pe.", then move to the lager, and finish with the DIPA? I want to compare them all while drinking at the counter so badly!
Hop BroThat's the perfect order. Nama Pe. is easy to start with at 5.5% ABV, and the Dortmunder lager is an everyday kind of beer. Plus, the post says there are limited quantities, so you'd better hurry.
MugiCompare them on tap at the shop, then take home a growler if you find a favorite! I want to go tonight already. Hop bro, come with me!
Sekimachi Cellar (Sekimachi Higashi, Nerima Ward, Tokyo) has introduced four new offerings from NAMACHAん Brewing as fresh arrivals. The post notes that quantities are limited, so anyone interested should check them out soon.
This latest lineup is designed to appeal both to people looking for something substantial to drink and to those who want something light and easy to enjoy with food.
- Tsuyoki no, Nama. (Double IPA / ABV 8.0%)
A beer built on clean bitterness, layered with sweet aromas reminiscent of fruit candy and strawberries, along with a subtle dank character. It is made for days when you want to enjoy the weight and depth of a high-alcohol brew.
- Hojicha Ale (Japanese Tea Beer / ABV 5.5%)
A brown ale blended with hojicha from Kagurazaka's "Rakuzan" and Sugamo's "Yamanen-en." The gentle sweetness from lactose and the roasted aroma of tea leaves come together, and the post describes it as having an impression similar to a "hojicha latte."
- Nama Pe. (American Pale Ale / ABV 5.5%)
Defined by a moderate bitterness and hop aromas reminiscent of pineapple and grapefruit. As a refreshing pale ale, it is an easy choice for a first beer.
- Namachan no Lager (Dortmunder / ABV 5.0%)
Its appeal lies in the crisp malt-derived flavor, herbal aromas from German noble hops, and a calm, balanced bitterness. It is a classic-feeling lager you would want to drink regularly.
Sekimachi Cellar is a place where you can enjoy craft beer in a kakuuchi-style setting. In addition to drinking on-site, the post's hashtags suggest that the shop is also putting effort into growler fills and draft beer takeout. You can compare beers on tap, of course, but it also seems like a great way to take home a style you like and enjoy it slowly there.
