Hop BroRIKKA is a brewery based in Nishi Ward, Sapporo. Its name comes from “rikka,” another word for snow, with a wish for snowflake-like connections among people and communities.
MugiWow, I love that! Beer connecting people and places feels lovely. Add snowy scenery and it’s pure Hokkaido mood!
Hop BroIts defining feature is a draft-first sales model, favoring kegs over bottles and cans. It reduces packaging waste and encourages people to enjoy beer where they gather.

MugiA keg that invites cheers?! My fridge is pretty quiet, but at a store, beer becomes sociable!

RIKKA, an organic craft beer brand based in Sapporo’s Nishi Ward, Hokkaido, has announced its presence at the Patagonia Sapporo Store through an Instagram post. The post, titled in part “Again today at Patagonia Sapporo Store…,” suggests that visitors may continue to encounter RIKKA beer at the store, subject to availability.
RIKKA takes its name from “rikka,” a Japanese term for snow. The brewery explains that the name refers to the beauty of snow crystals and expresses a wish for connections between people and communities to spread outward from craft beer, much like a crystal grows from its center.
The brand also emphasizes a keg-based sales model rather than relying primarily on bottles or cans. According to RIKKA, this approach reflects both a desire to reduce packaging waste and a belief that beer is best enjoyed in places where people can gather and share conversation.
That philosophy makes the brand a natural fit for a setting associated with outdoor culture and environmental awareness. The Patagonia Sapporo Store offers an opportunity for customers to encounter RIKKA not only as a beverage, but also as a local project rooted in Hokkaido and community connections.
RIKKA’s official online shop is also promoting “RIKKA ∞ 2026,” a limited annual membership featuring monthly beer shipments, including limited and advance releases, along with stories about the fields and brewing process. The project presents the brewery’s work as an ongoing exploration shaped by land, weather, and experimentation.
For beer enthusiasts visiting the Patagonia Sapporo Store, the RIKKA update is a reminder to check the current availability and lineup while experiencing the brewery’s locally focused approach to craft beer.
