Nanki Shirahama Nagisa Beer highlights limited-brew “Golden Ale” ahead of Golden Week
Nanki Shirahama Nagisa Beer introduced its “Golden Ale” on Instagram in line with the seasonal feel ahead of Golden Week. It also highlighted its first hazy pale ale, “Hop Treasure,” and the lineup suited to early summer stands out.
Hop BroMugi-chan, Nanki Shirahama Nagisa Beer put out a limited announcement before Golden Week. They’ve got a seasonal Golden Ale and even their first hazy pale ale, so you can already feel early summer coming through the beer.
MugiWhoa! The name Golden Ale already sounds sparkly! But what kind of beer is it? It’s not actually made with gold leaf, right?
Hop BroNope, nope, the star here is the fresh mouthfeel. It’s an early-summer beer with a light, easy-drinking finish, balancing gentle malt sweetness and hops that don’t dominate.
MugiHmm! But if the hops are restrained, wouldn’t that be underwhelming for Hop Brother?
Hop BroActually, that’s intentional. It leaves the aroma bright while not pushing too hard with bitterness, so it goes down smoothly even as the weather gets warmer. It’s exactly the kind of seasonal beer that fits Shirahama.
MugiWhat! And that Honu label is so cute. The sea turtle feels like the beer’s guardian spirit!
Hop BroExactly. There’s also the sister-beach story of Shirarahama Beach and Waikiki Beach, and the background says Honu was adopted as a prayer to a guardian deity of the sea during the period after the disaster.
MugiWow, it’s packed with not just flavor but also the story of the place. So who’s the other newcomer?
Hop BroThat’s Nagisa’s first hazy pale ale, Hop Treasure. It uses multiple high-aroma hops, bringing pineapple, citrus, and lime-like fruitiness to the front.
MugiOh, I really want to drink that! If it even has the softness of oats, then this Golden Week is decided.
Hop BroThis is definitely the kind of beer that makes you want to have a drink in Shirahama. Both Golden Ale and Hop Treasure are perfect faces for a Golden Week toast.
MugiYeah, I want to go too! I’m starting to want to toast right now, and I want to drink in the early-summer air itself!
Nanki Shirahama Nagisa Beer is a craft beer maker founded in 1996 in Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture. According to its official website, its beers are enjoyed at hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops in Shirahama Town, and in addition to its four regular beers, it offers seasonal limited brews.

According to official information, this beer is characterized by a fresh mouthfeel and a bright, subtle aroma, and it is positioned as a style suited to early summer. A gentle malt-derived sweetness combined with hops that do not assert themselves too strongly gives it a light, easy-drinking finish.
The label features the sea turtle “Honu.” The background includes the fact that Shirarahama Beach and Waikiki Beach are sister beaches, and the official page explains that Honu was adopted in the post-disaster period as a prayer to a guardian deity of the sea. It can be introduced not only as a beer with flavor, but also as a brand that carries the stories of its land and season, which is part of Nagisa Beer’s appeal.
The post also mentions Nagisa’s first hazy pale ale, “Hop Treasure.” This beer uses multiple high-aroma hops and is characterized by fruit-forward notes reminiscent of pineapple, citrus, and lime, along with a soft mouthfeel from oats and wheat malt. It is a piece that proposes beers with a bright seasonal feel for Golden Week.
