Nutori Brewing taps two new collaboration beers with Nagahana and Aohashi Ame
Nutori Brewing in Kawaguchi, Saitama, announced two new beers for June 24. The lineup includes “Ichikai,” a gose made with composer and arranger Nagahana, and “Saison Nutorine,” a Nelson Sauvin saison created with illustrator Aohashi Ame.
Hop BroToday’s headline is Nutori Brewing’s two new releases. They’re tapping both on June 24 in Kawaguchi, and making both summer collabs at once is the kind of move that makes you do a double take at the bar.
MugiWhat! A double collab tap launch sounds huge. And the name 'Ichijikai' already feels like I’m being summoned to the first round before I even sit down!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Ichijikai is a gose, made with composer-arranger Nagahana. It uses salt from Atami and leans hard into a tart, salty profile.
MugiHold on, what even is gose? Because that flavor description sounds like something my body would beg for after walking around in summer all day!
Hop BroEasiest way to think of it is a salty, tangy beer. It drinks light, then snaps in with this bright refreshing edge, so it really works in hot weather.
MugiOhh, that sounds made for summer. So is the other one, 'Saison Nutorine,' the stylish one in this duo?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a Nelson Sauvin saison, a collab with illustrator Aohashi Ame. The beer aims for a white-wine-like aroma with an earthy but fresh finish.
MugiThere it is again, what does earthy mean? If you say 'soil vibes,' I’m going to imagine myself sipping from a flowerpot.
Hop BroNo flowerpot crisis here. A grounded aromatic note just means a calm, natural scent profile, usually from hops or yeast, and paired with that wine-like aroma it comes off really elegant.
Hop BroAnd the real trap is pairing it with nourishing pub food. That’s part of Nutori Brewing’s whole appeal, so lining these two up in the Kawaguchi taproom could turn one drink into a full session.
MugiI’m sold, I want the side-by-side tasting. Start with the salty-tart Ichijikai, chase it with the floral Saison Nutorine, and call that the perfect summer plan.
Nutori Brewing in Kawaguchi, Saitama, said it would tap two new beers on Wednesday, June 24. Both releases are collaborations, and both are designed with summer drinking in mind.
- Ichikai (gose)
Made with composer and arranger Nagahana. Nutori describes it as a summer beer with the saltiness of Atami salt, plus a tart and briny profile.
- Saison Nutorine (Nelson Sauvin saison)
A collaboration with illustrator Aohashi Ame. The brewery highlights a bright, white-wine-like aroma and an earthy, refreshing finish.
Nutori Brewing is based in the Kawaguchi West Exit area and pairs house-brewed beer with its own style of hearty food. On its official site, the brewery says it has been brewing in a 50-year-old apartment building since February 2021 and uses local Kawaguchi water for its beers. That background helps explain why the brewery’s lineup often feels local, hands-on, and food-friendly.
This latest pair offers two very different takes on warm-weather drinking: one leaning salty and sour, the other aromatic and crisp. For fans following Nutori’s taproom output, it is a compact example of how the brewery uses collaborations to widen its range without losing its neighborhood character.
