Susukinoyell STAND lists guest beer NIWATORI made with Riesling pomace
Susukinoyell STAND is featuring NIWATORI, a guest beer made with Riesling pomace from Sapporo Fujino Winery. It is one of two beers built on the same ABV and IBU, and this version is brewed as a dry saison.
Hop BroThere's a really interesting pour in Susukino right now: guest beer NIWATORI. This one is hard to ignore.
MugiWhat! The name is cute and intense at the same time. If it has zero chicken energy, I need an explanation!
Hop BroIt's pouring at Susukino Ale STAND, and it's a saison made with Riesling grape pomace from Sapporo Fujino Winery.
MugiNo way, pomace means the leftover grape skins after pressing, right? A whole vineyard just barged into my beer!
Hop BroExactly. And they add it after primary fermentation, basically a post-fermentation addition by design.
MugiPri-primary fermentation? What is that, the final boss of chemistry class? Technical terms scare me!
Hop BroIt's just the most active stage of fermentation. Adding the pomace after that lets them keep the beer's frame while layering in grape aroma.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! So it still drinks like beer, and dry and crisp sounds dangerously easy to love.
Hop BroThen the saison yeast brings citrus and spice, with floral and even sansho-like notes. The sneaky fun part is same ABV and IBU as its sibling batch.
MugiThat means I absolutely want a side-by-side! And if it's right by Exit 4 at Susukino Station, that's a perfect pre-game stop.
Hop BroIt's in COCONO SUSUKINO B1F, with standing-room ease and beer-friendly snacks like jamon serrano, so I want to drop in too.
MugiThat's it, my throat already made the decision. I totally want to toast with NIWATORI tonight!

NIWATORI uses Riesling pomace from Sapporo Fujino Winery
The featured beer, NIWATORI, is one of two beers made with Riesling pomace provided by Sapporo Fujino Winery. Built to the same ABV and IBU, this version is brewed as a saison with beer yeast, and the pomace is added after primary fermentation. The result keeps a clear beer framework while layering in grape-derived aroma.
Dry, lively, and aromatic
The description highlights a dry, brisk saison body, floral notes with hints of sansho pepper, and citrus-and-spice character from the saison yeast. Rather than chasing a wine-like impression, the beer appears to aim for a balanced hybrid expression where grape aromatics and saison structure meet.
A lineup made for tasting around
Lower on the page, the shop also lists Susukinoyell White Ale, Susukinoyell Saison, and Yuitorie MIMOSA SAISON, reinforcing the venue's tasting-friendly lineup. For drinkers who want to compare styles side by side, Susukinoyell STAND remains an approachable place to explore locally focused craft beer.
