Preparing for MIDORI FES. 2026

In an Instagram post, Golden Rabbit Beer shared that it was "setting up for tomorrow's #midorifes" and showed the preparations for the event. MIDORI FES. 2026 will be held at Grand Green Osaka from May 2 to 4, and the venue will feature food and drink, exhibitions, and hands-on content across the entire site.

The featured beer is the upcycled craft beer "SOSEINO"

The highlight this time is the upcycled craft beer "SOSEINO," which will be presented at South Plaza. According to the official announcement, Golden Rabbit Beer is a brand born from Rohto Pharmaceutical’s side-job program, and it aims to make beer that uses discarded ingredients linked to food loss as secondary ingredients while achieving both flavor and strong aroma. Its defining feature is that it proposes a satisfying beer while starting from environmental consideration.

Brewing in Nara’s Naramachi, a beer that makes the most of local character

Golden Rabbit Beer is based in Higashiterabayashi-cho, Nara City, and was founded in September 2015. Its official website says it makes craft beer that makes use of Nara ingredients, and that visitors can enjoy beer together with record music at the Naramachi taproom. The brewery, which has centered its work on local flavors, bringing its beer to a large urban festival in Osaka can also be seen as an effort that shows where craft beer from Nara stands today.

At MIDORI FES. 2026, in addition to dining experiences at the venue, there will also be projects themed around sustainability. In that context, SOSEINO looks set to stand out as a beer that connects "deliciousness" with the idea of rethinking how materials are used.
