KARAKURI in Kanda Adds Minoh Beer’s Momo Weizen (Wase) to the Bottle List
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda has added Minoh Beer’s bottle release, Momo Weizen (Wase). The beer is made with Arakawa peaches from Wakayama and is being announced for the July 31 service date.
Hop BroToday’s topic: Kanda’s KARAKURI just got bottles of Peach Weizen (Wase), and this is not a drill!
MugiWhat! A peach beer already sounds ridiculously good, but which brewery made it?
Hop BroIt’s a seasonal release from Minoh Beer. The style is a fruit weizen, made with Arakawa peaches from Wakayama.
MugiWhoa, but the second you say weizen, my brain starts buffering... what is that?
Hop BroIt’s a soft, wheat-based beer style, and the yeast gives off banana-and-clove aromas, which is one of its signatures.
MugiWait, clove is a spice, right? Peach, banana, and spice sounds like a summer festival in a glass!
Hop BroExactly, and they use peaches picked that very day and hand-process them into puree, so the aroma layers really pop. They’re using Yahata Farm peaches generously too.
MugiThat sounds amazing! KARAKURI is the place where you can do oden and craft beer together, right? Would this pair well?
Hop BroI think so. KARAKURI has a cozy basement-floor vibe, you can drink there or use the bottle shop, and for July 31, 5-11 PM they still seem to have reservation space.
MugiThen the answer is obvious! I want a peach-scented first sip with oden on the side... my throat reacted before I did!
Hop BroNo reason to miss the first seasonal drop. I’m ready for an immediate Peach Weizen strategy meeting because this bottle seriously makes me want a drink.
MugiDecision made! My first drink on July 31 is officially this, and now I want to go meet that peach at KARAKURI!
Bottle Beer Arrival
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- has announced a bottle-beer arrival: Minoh Beer’s Momo Weizen (Wase). In the post, it is introduced as the first release in the Momo Weizen series. The beer uses "Arakawa" peaches from Hachiki Farm in Wakayama Prefecture and is described as fruity and refreshing.
According to the post, the peaches are processed into purée by hand on the day they are harvested, and used generously in the beer. The expected profile combines yeast-derived clove and banana-like notes with the fresh fruit character of peach, creating a layered aroma. It is presented as a seasonal favorite that many drinkers look forward to every year.

It works well both for a relaxed drinking session and for a meal with a glass on the side. The venue also includes a bottle shop, so guests can enjoy the beer on-site or consider takeout bottles as well.
