Yatsugatake Brewery to Exhibit at Shizuoka Isetan's 'Buy and Connect! Yama no Kuni Fair'
Yatsugatake Brewery will take part in the 'Buy and Connect! Yama no Kuni Fair' at Shizuoka Isetan from August 12 to 17. The booth will feature eight items, including beer, food, and sauces, plus paid tastings of Kiyosato Lager and ROCK Weizen.
Hop BroHere’s the topic today: the Shizuoka Isetan fair. Yatsugatake Brewery is joining the Buy and Connect! Bai-Yamanosu fair at the 8th-floor event hall from August 12 to 17.
MugiWhat! Yatsugatake Brewery at a department store? That’s the kind of 'just browsing' trip that turns into a full-on beer sprint!
Hop BroAnd they’re bringing a full eight-item lineup: Pilsner, Dunkel, Kiyosato Lager, Rock Weizen, cold-brew coffee lager, plus curry, stew, and salad sauce.
MugiNo way, beer and dinner in one stop? My stomach is ready to check out before I am!
Hop BroThe big draw is two paid tastings: Kiyosato Lager and Rock Weizen. It’s 400 yen for a half, 600 for a regular, and 700 to compare both, which is pretty easy to try.
MugiHold on, Rock Weizen sounds intense. Am I supposed to start air-guitaring after the first sip?
Hop BroNot quite. Weizen is a wheat-beer style, so it’s usually about a softer feel and a lively aroma. The word 'rock' doesn’t mean you need to bring an amp.
MugiWhew, not metal-flavored then. I was one stretch away from warming up my neck for headbanging!
Hop BroAlso, Yatsugatake Brewery has used decoction brewing since the beginning, and they’ve been making lager-focused beer in Kiyosato, Hokuto, Yamanashi since 1997.
MugiThere it is again, decoction brewing. That sounds like a wizard spell, so I need the beginner translation!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s boil part, return part, an old-school method that helps build malt depth. Just talking about it makes me want a glass of Kiyosato Lager already.
MugiNow I get it! Kiyosato Lager flight first, Rock Weizen next, and curry to finish? Yeah, the two of us are getting pulled straight into Shizuoka Isetan.
Yatsugatake Brewery will exhibit at the 'Buy and Connect! Yama no Kuni Fair' held on the 8th floor event space at Shizuoka Isetan from August 12 to 17. The fair brings together local specialties from four prefectures, Shizuoka, Yamanashi, Nagano, and Niigata, and Yatsugatake Brewery will offer eight items that combine beer and related food products.
The lineup includes:
- Pilsner
- Dunkel
- Kiyosato Lager
- ROCK Weizen
- Mizudashi Coffee Lager
- ROCK Beef Curry
- ROCK Beef Stew
- ROCK Salad Sauce
Paid tastings will be available for Kiyosato Lager and ROCK Weizen, priced at 400 yen for a half pour, 600 yen for a regular pour, and 700 yen for a two-beer comparison set. That gives visitors a chance to sample before buying.
Based in Kiyosato, Hokuto, Yamanashi, Yatsugatake Brewery has been brewing since 1997 and is operated by Moeginomura Co., Ltd. The brewery has used traditional German decoction brewing from the start and has built its 'Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown' line around lager-focused beers. This event presentation extends that identity beyond beer alone, with food and sauces that reflect the brewery's broader table-oriented approach.
