KAKUIDA BREWERY announced that it will open a booth at the “Great Kyushu Fair” held at Keio Department Store Shinjuku from March 6 to March 12, 2026. At the venue, it will offer draft beer and bottled beer for takeaway, along with black vinegar-related products.
Hop BroMugi, KAKUIDA BREWERY from Kagoshima is coming to Keio Shinjuku’s “Great Kyushu Fair”! For one week only, from March 6 to 12, they’ll be serving both draft beer and bottled beer.
MugiWait, you can drink Kagoshima craft beer in Shinjuku!? That’s seriously hot!
Hop BroThe venue is the Grand Event Hall on the 7th floor of Keio Department Store Shinjuku, and remember that on the final day, March 12, it closes at 17:00. Events like this get crowded with last-minute visitors.
MugiNice! Drinking it fresh on site, then grabbing bottles for home is the best two-step plan! And a giveaway for saying “I saw it on social media” is such a nice bonus!
Hop BroWhat’s more, KAKUIDA BREWERY is a brewery in the land of black vinegar, and it brings that black vinegar expertise into beer brewing. They’ll also have seven kinds of fruit black vinegar and sencha kombucha, so the booth will basically turn into a fermentation theme park.
MugiWhat is that!? “Barrel-Aged Sour Stout 3+year” sounds like a final boss just from the name!?
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a dark beer with acidity that’s aged for a long time in wooden barrels. It’s for more advanced drinkers, with roast character, acidity, and aged aromas layered together, and it won gold at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2024.
MugiWhoa, now I really want to drink it! Do they have other styles too? Something beginner-friendly!
Hop BroThey do. They’ve got a wide range, from American Red and Belgian White to aged stout, so starting with something lighter is a safe bet. It’s basically an event where you can taste “where KAKUIDA is now” through side-by-side comparisons.
MugiIt’s settled! I’ll start with a Belgian White for a toast, then power on to another draft beer! Hop bro, let’s sprint to the venue!
Hop BroAgreed. I’ll start with the American Red and finish with something aged. A glass from Kagoshima in Shinjuku? That’s one we have to drink!
Kagoshima’s KAKUIDA BREWERY is set to appear at a major event in the Tokyo metropolitan area. In an Instagram post published at 16:27 on March 4, 2026, the brewery announced that it will take part in Keio Department Store Shinjuku’s “Great Kyushu Fair.” The event runs from Friday, March 6 to Thursday, March 12, and closes at 17:00 on the final day. The venue is the Grand Event Hall on the 7th floor of Keio Department Store Shinjuku.
According to the post, the booth will offer draft beer that can be enjoyed on the spot, as well as bottled beer to take home. In addition, it will feature seven varieties of fruit black vinegar, undiluted black vinegar and black vinegar seasonings, plus a new sencha kombucha. If visitors mention that they saw it on social media, there will also be a giveaway campaign during the event.
KAKUIDA BREWERY is described on its official website as “a small brewery in the land of black vinegar in Kagoshima Prefecture.” Drawing on the knowledge it has developed through black vinegar brewing, it emphasizes a hand-crafted brewing style. Information from its online store lists American Red, Belgian White, and aged stout among its offerings. In recent years, its “Barrel-Aged Sour Stout 3+year” won gold at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2024, making its breadth of flavor development another point of interest.
At a festival bringing together the food and drinks of Kyushu, it will be a one-week chance to compare craft beers from Kagoshima. It looks set to be an opportunity to check out where KAKUIDA stands today in Tokyo.
