Handa Ginzan Brewery in Koori features peach craft beer Akatsuki at Uemachi CHEERS
Koori Town’s Uemachi CHEERS / Handa Ginzan Brewery introduced its peach craft beer Akatsuki in a recent Instagram post. Brewed with the town’s famed Akatsuki peach, it is described as a beer with bright peach aroma, gentle sweetness, and a smooth finish.
Hop BroToday's story is about Akatsuki, a peach beer from Handa Ginzan Brewery served at Kamimachi CHEERS.
MugiWhat! Peach turns into beer? And it's made with Akatsuki peaches known as a premium gift fruit? That's starting strong!
Hop BroExactly. Style-wise, it's basically a fruit beer with locally grown Koori peaches taking center stage.
MugiWhoa! But when you say fruit-forward, is it juice-like, or does it still have that craft beer feel?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The natural peach sweetness and acidity come together into a soft, rounded sip. It's more aromatic than sugary.
MugiNo way! 'Peach aroma drifting up' already sounds like a peach theme park in my brain!
Hop BroAnd Kamimachi CHEERS is a brewpub, so you can have a meal and drink beer fresh from the attached brewery.
MugiWait, what's a brewpub? And that keg-draft thing you slipped in sounded way too expert!
Hop BroSimple version: a brewpub is a restaurant with its own brewery, and keg draft means fresh-poured beer served straight from the keg system.
MugiNice! It's walkable from JR Koori Station, and with takeout options, this is basically the perfect town-stroll route!
Hop BroPair it with seasonal local food and it becomes a real taste of Koori. Honestly, now I want one.
MugiSame. My stomach and throat are fully in peach mode, so I want to raise a glass at Kamimachi CHEERS and take one home too!
Featured in the Peach Gourmet campaign
Koori Town’s official Instagram highlighted Uemachi CHEERS / Handa Ginzan Brewery as a participant in its Peach Gourmet campaign. The brewpub is located at 72-1 Kamimachi, Koori-machi, Date-gun, Fukushima, and is an easy stop for both food and craft beer. It also sits within walking distance of JR Koori Station.
The beer: Akatsuki
The featured beer is Akatsuki, brewed with Akatsuki peaches from Koori Town. Official descriptions say the peach’s natural sweetness and acidity are balanced, creating a mellow mouthfeel. The Instagram caption also describes it as having a soft, floating peach aroma, making it a good pick for drinkers who want clear fruit character.
Why it fits the brewpub
Handa Ginzan Brewery focuses on handmade beers that use local ingredients, and guests can enjoy them at the attached Uemachi CHEERS restaurant. With lunch and dinner service, it works well as a place to pair food with a glass of beer rather than as a stand-alone taproom stop. The setting also reflects Koori’s identity as a peach-growing town.
Takeaway-friendly as well
The post also notes that it can be taken out as a souvenir. That makes Akatsuki not only a seasonal local treat on-site, but also a beer you can bring home after a visit to Koori’s peach country.
