Okhotsk Beer Factory in Kitami, Hokkaido, has released its June 2026 menu. Centered on a fair featuring seasonal scallops and asparagus, it offers early-summer dining ideas to enjoy in-house, from a 31st-anniversary limited beer to service lunch and monthly lunch specials.
Hop BroKitami's Okhotsk Beer Factory has released its June menu, and the Scallop & Asparagus Fair is the star, really stirring up early-summer appetites.
MugiWhoa! Scallops and asparagus are already a feast! And when you hear seasonal local ingredients, somehow it instantly sounds even more delicious!
Hop BroThat's the appeal. Okhotsk Beer Factory is a Kitami-born brewery that obtained Japan's first craft beer brewing license back in 1994, and it's a Kitami-born brewery with the restaurant and brewery under one roof.
MugiJapan's first is impressive, but wait, what changes when the restaurant and brewery are together? Is it that freshly made feel is amazing?
Hop BroExactly. You can drink while feeling the brewing atmosphere, and you can quickly test how well the food pairs with the beer. This time, for the 31st anniversary, they're even releasing a limited-quantity Hazy IPA, which is exciting.
MugiI've heard the name Hazy IPA, but what is it? Is it that hazy-style IPA thing? It sounds fancy, but I can't picture the taste!
Hop BroIn short, it puts hop aroma up front while keeping the bitterness mellow and juicy. At 600 yen for a glass, 880 yen for a mug, and 2,600 yen for a pitcher, it's nice to be able to try an aroma-forward IPA casually.
MugiOhh! Then I want to tackle it with the food too! If there are scallops and asparagus, it won't end at lunch!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the fair menu even includes deluxe salt yakisoba with three times the scallops, so they really go at you with noodles, which is almost unfair.
MugiIt's basically the winning set for early summer. If beer and seafood match this well, it makes me want to head to Kitami and raise a toast!
Hop BroSince you can enjoy it both in-house and in bottles, they're also not missing the choose your way to drink part. Pair some food with the limited Hazy IPA, and that's June's answer.
MugiDeal! I can't stop wanting to raise a toast right now, so start me off with the butter-grilled scallops!
