Nutori Brewing unveils new 'Nutochan Hojicha' made with Kagoshima hojicha
Nutori Brewing has introduced a new beer, “Nutochan Hojicha.” The post describes it as a Hazy Hojicha Ale made with Kagoshima hojicha, and says it drew strong interest. The release adds a summer-friendly option to the brewery’s lineup in Kawaguchi, Saitama.
Hop BroToday's topic is Nutochan Hojicha Flavor. It's a new release from Nutori Brewing, a summer-friendly beer made with hojicha from Kagoshima.
MugiWait, a hojicha beer is real!? Tea and beer in one glass sounds like my brain needs a little reset!
Hop BroAnd the style is Hazy Hojicha Ale. It looks cloudy, but instead of going full hop-bomb, it puts roasted tea aroma and flavor in the spotlight.
MugiHold on, what does hazy even mean? You can't just drop fancy beer words and stroll away!
Hop BroBasically, it's a cloudy appearance. That often gives a softer mouthfeel, and here it helps the hojicha aroma come through smoothly.
MugiOhhh, so that roasted aroma could make it really easy to drink. Okay, now the summer vibe makes sense!
Hop BroHere's the nice part: Nutori Brewing makes it at their Kawaguchi brewpub. They use local water and ingredients well, and they brew out of a renovated 50-year-old apartment.
MugiWhat is this, a 50-year-old apartment brewery movie? That already sounds charming, and now you're telling me they serve shumai and seasonal dishes too?
Hop BroYep, and the post says it had serious local buzz. It sounds like a gentler, toastier twist than a typical hop-led hazy IPA, and now I want a glass. They also said they'll be on summer break from August 2 to August 5, so checking stock first is smart.
MugiNow I'm craving beer with nourishing food. Give me that hojicha aroma, a plate of shumai, and a trip to Kawaguchi right now!
New release
Nutori Brewing has announced a new beer, “Nutochan Hojicha.” In the brewery’s post, it is presented as a Hazy Hojicha Ale made with hojicha from Kagoshima. The beer is described as hazy in appearance, but with a clear roasted-tea character and an easy-drinking finish.
Nutori Brewing is based in Kawaguchi, Saitama, where it has been brewing since February 2021 in a 50-year-old apartment building. The brewery also operates a taproom on site, serving food alongside its beers. That setup has helped Nutori develop a style centered on local ingredients, everyday drinkability, and a close connection to the neighborhood.
The post also notes that the new beer was especially popular. That reaction suggests the hojicha profile may have landed well with drinkers looking for something aromatic but refreshing, especially in the middle of summer.
The account additionally mentioned a summer break from August 2 to August 5, so availability may vary depending on business days and stock.
