Utsui Brewery Beer to Be Served at Shimonoseki’s “Yusuzu Festival” on Sept. 20
Utsui Brewery’s beer will be featured at the “Yusuzu Festival” on September 20. The Shimonoseki venue will open for its first evening service, alongside live music and workshops.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: on September 20, you can drink Utsui Brewery beer at the Yusuzu Festival in Shimonoseki.
MugiWhat! Craft beer at a festival sounds perfect, and it’s Suzunoya’s first night opening too? That feels special.
Hop BroExactly. Utsui Brewery started brewing in 2023 in Shimonoseki’s Utsui area, and they’re known for VACAN CRAFT, which uses local rice and hops.
MugiOooh! But what’s so cool about local rice and hops? It sounds tasty, but tell me more.
Hop BroThis is where I almost go full beer nerd. It’s about terroir... or, more simply, capturing the taste of place in the beer.
MugiTerroir?! That got fancy fast. So it means a beer that feels local, right?
Hop BroThat’s it. The article doesn’t name a precise beer style, but the appeal is clearly that local craft approach centered on regional ingredients.
MugiAnd it runs from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with live music from 7:00? That’s basically an all-evening hangout waiting to happen.
Hop BroPlus there are workshops from 3:00 to 6:00 to make bamboo fans and incense, and even a one-night-only snack bar, so it becomes food, music, and making things all in one place.
MugiThat kind of end-of-summer vibe is unfairly tempting. With Utsui Brewery beer in hand and a slow summer night festival, I really want a drink now.
Utsui Brewery, which began brewing in the Uchinonichi area of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in 2023, is known for VACAN CRAFT, a lineup that makes use of local rice and hops. Its focus on community and regional revitalization makes it a natural fit for local events.
According to an Instagram post, the brewery’s beer will be served at the “Yusuzu Festival” on Sunday, September 20, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with live music starting at 7:00 p.m. The venue, Suzunoya, will hold its first-ever evening business hours for the occasion, and the owner will also offer one-night-only snacks.
Two workshops are planned from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.: making a bamboo original uchiwa fan and making incense. Each costs 1,000 yen per person. The lineup of vendors includes Miho Tarui, Chiemisara, Tsuki to Sen, Poppo Copy, Mukuroji Mokki, food by uco, Coffee Shouten, circle, Hongō, and Yamamichi Shokudo, with live performance by Makoto Okazaki.
