The beers brought in this time are award-winning beers from Nara Brewing. Nara Brewing is a brewery in Nara City that has been sending out beers in a wide range of styles since it began brewing in 2018, under the banner of "the joy of choosing beer." At the 2026 World Beer Cup, "FUNCTION" won gold in the American-Belgo-Style Ale category and "LIGHTHOUSE" won gold in the Micro Porter category, once again underscoring the high regard it enjoys in Japan and abroad.

"FUNCTION" is an American-Belgo-style ale that pairs a variety of hops with saison yeast. Its aroma and drinking character have a distinctive balance, giving craft beer fans the pleasure of tracing the details of the style. "LIGHTHOUSE" is a micro porter designed to deliver a satisfying body despite its 3.0% ABV, and it stands out for balancing lightness and fullness. The two beers are contrasting, but both clearly reflect the brewer's intent.
