Overview of the Limited Brew


orca Ginza Brewery will sell its original beer "Ginza Time" in limited quantities to coincide with "Ginza Machi Bar 2026," a gourmet roaming event in the Ginza area. The sales period runs from April 6, 2026, to April 26, 2026, and the brewery will prepare 100 small 330ml bottles of each beer, 200 bottles in total.

This time, the theme is "500 years ago and 500 years from now." The two products, "Ginza Time 1500s-Rauch-" and "Ginza Time 2000s-NE IPA-", express the contrasting time axes of past and future through beer. Purchases are made at the Machi Bar ticket sales booth, where one bottle can be exchanged for one ticket.

A Maker Rooted in the Ginza Neighborhood


orca Ginza Brewery is located in Ginza 8-chome, Chuo Ward, Tokyo. According to the official website, its predecessor was the long-established bar "Mondo Bar," founded in 1986. It was renewed in 2024 as a brewery with an attached restaurant, and it operates by having the staff themselves serve the beer brewed in-house.

As a nanobrewery brewed in small tanks, it has also stood out for highlighting the individuality that comes with small-batch production. Its official concept emphasizes carrying on the spirit of the bar while aiming to create a place where drinkers and makers can connect at close range.

The Meaning of the Collaboration


"Ginza Time" is more than just an event-exclusive release; it is a bottle that distills the history and present of Ginza into beer. By combining it with a roaming event like Machi Bar, participants can tour Ginza's restaurants while tasting orca's interpretation of "time."

As an effort that connects Ginza's accumulated bar culture with new forms of craft beer expression, it is a very orca-like project. Since the number of bottles is limited, anyone interested should check the sales period and locations in advance.
