New can arrivals

Kise Beer in Shimotakaido has received a new batch of cans from AMAKUSA SONAR BEER in Kumamoto. The lineup features YES, BANANA SPLASH, Kinetic Totem, and a restock of Ten Cola.

YES is a Fruit Smoothie Sour brewed with Amakusa citrus, and it clocks in at 3.5% ABV. BANANA SPLASH is also 3.5% ABV, built with ripe banana plus peach, pineapple, apple, coconut, and even Amakusa-made soft serve, making it one of the more dessert-like releases in the set.

Kinetic Totem is a 5.0% Ginger Saison. It combines ginger from Amakusa with the fruity, spicy character of saison yeast, giving the can list a drier, more food-friendly option. Ten Cola returns as a 0.0% craft cola made with local ingredients such as brown sugar, pearl citrus, ginger, shell ginger, and salt, with no preservatives, coloring, or flavoring.

Kise Beer is a casual beer pub in Setagaya, located on the third floor near Shimotakaido Station. With five taps, no cover charge, and outside food allowed, it is a relaxed place to explore Japanese craft beer at your own pace. The new cans widen that range further, from bright citrus and smoothie-style sour beer to ginger-driven saison and non-alcoholic cola.
