Hop BroNagi no Ne Brewing in Kushima City, Miyazaki Prefecture, is taking preorders for its seasonal "Nagi no Ne SETOKA2026." The star is fully ripe Setoka, and this is definitely a bottle that catches my attention.
MugiWhoa! Setoka, that citrus? A beer where the fruit is the main character is even fancier than juice, isn't it!?
Hop BroExactly. And this time they've deliberately left out hops, putting the citrus aroma front and center. Since they use everything from the peel to the flesh, the layers of aroma are really deep.
MugiNo hops!? Wait, has the lead role in beer changed!? By the way, what's happoshu, anyway? Is it different from beer?
Hop BroIn simple terms, if it falls a little outside the legal definition of beer, it becomes happoshu. This time it's a 750 ml happoshu at 7% alcohol, so it has a lot more to drink than it looks.
Mugi750 ml and 7%? That's definitely a one-bottle-satisfies-you kind of course! And if the carbonation is mild, then it probably has that smooth mouthfeel thing going on, right?
Hop BroExactly. It also includes lemongrass in the ingredients, which gives the aroma a refined finish. When you pour it into a glass, it apparently even develops an aftertaste like fruit wine.
MugiWow, I would absolutely love that! But "like fruit wine" is making my brain more and more confused! This is basically a reward wearing a beer's face!
Hop BroWhat's more, Nagi no Ne Brewing is a small brewery run by a former shochu master distiller working alone. Because it's handcrafted brewing, the character of the land comes through just as it is.
MugiThe fact that it's made in a place that used to be a nursery school is kind of lovely... Knowing that background makes it feel like I could drink in the memory of the land itself.
Hop BroShipping is on or after May 1, 2026, and it's limited in quantity. This is the kind of thing where even the waiting feels fun because you preordered it.
MugiIt's decided! I only read the article today, but my throat is already saying it "can't wait"! I want to toast right now with the aroma of Setoka!
Miyazaki Prefecture's Kushima City-based Nagi no Ne Brewing has begun taking preorders for its seasonal limited product, "Nagi no Ne SETOKA2026." The centerpiece this time is fully ripe Setoka from Ishigami Farm in the Toi district of Kushima. Using everything from the peel to the flesh, the brewery deliberately leaves out hops to bring out the aroma and flavor of citrus itself.
The product is a 750 ml happoshu with 7% alcohol. The carbonation is set a little lower, resulting in a smooth, rich mouthfeel. When poured into a glass, it is said to unfold with an aftertaste reminiscent of fruit wine. In addition to Setoka, the ingredients include malt produced in the United Kingdom, glucose, and lemongrass. Shipping is planned for on or after May 1, 2026, and sales are limited to preorders while supplies last.
Nagi no Ne Brewing is a small brewery in Kushima City operated by a former shochu master distiller working alone. Using a site that was once a nursery school, the brewery continues to make sake with a strong emphasis on handcrafting. Its regular offering, "Yamabiko Ale," has highlighted a gentle flavor profile that makes use of lemongrass and bottle-conditioning, but this SETOKA 2026 more clearly expresses the brewery's direction as a beer centered on the citrus of the local area.
