MugiWhat! They grow beer herbs at the restaurant? It already feels like the farm and the bar have merged, and that sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly. And the venue is a brick building renovated from the former Kanagawa Prefectural Kamakura Pressure Pump Station. The exterior is classic, while the interior is modern and open, so it fits Kamakura’s atmosphere.
MugiWow! So they use it for the restaurant’s food and drinks too, so it’s not just an event. It’s kind of romantic that the herbs you grow become part of the flavor.
Hop BroThat’s right. One of MOKICHI KAMAKURA’s strengths is how it links to the on-site herb garden. Growing, brewing, and serving are all connected end to end, and that feels great.
MugiBut what’s a “saison” anyway! Saison style sounds stylish, but I have no idea what it means!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s a category of dry, refreshing beer that was originally drunk during breaks from farm work. Its yeast aroma is bright and lively, and it pairs well with herbs, so it’s perfect for Kamakura Herb Saison.
MugiWhat, that’s amazing! And Shonan Beer has a strong lineup of five regular beers, right? Pilsner, IPA, all those choices would leave me totally lost!
Hop BroYep. In addition to Pilsner, Alt, Schwarz, Golden Ale, and IPA American Style, there are plenty of seasonal releases too. Add Herb Saison to that, and the lineup suddenly gets a lot broader.
MugiAnd there’s an April herb tea experience next, too, right? Being able to enjoy it from growing things to drinking them is almost unfairly appealing!
Hop BroExactly. A beer you grow and savor leaves a stronger memory than just drinking, and this makes me want to go enjoy both the food and the beer together.
MugiYeah, once you read it, you’re done for! I want to drink Kamakura Herb Saison deeply, with the scent of the herbs and all!
At MOKICHI KAMAKURA, an herb planting experience was held as part of the herb garden project. The herbs planted this time will be used in Shonan Beer’s "Kamakura Herb Saison," scheduled for release in July, and will also add color to the food and drinks served at the restaurant.
The venue, MOKICHI KAMAKURA, is a brick building renovated from the former Kanagawa Prefectural Kamakura Pressure Pump Station. In contrast to its stately, classic exterior, the interior is modern and open, offering a relaxed time that feels quintessentially Kamakura. There is an herb garden on the property, and one of the restaurant’s hallmarks is making use of ingredients grown there in its dishes.
On the beer side, the standard Shonan Beer lineup includes Pilsner, Alt, Schwarz, Golden Ale, and IPA American Style, and seasonal Shonan Beer and seasonal premium Shonan Beer are also available. The herb-linked "Kamakura Herb Saison" looks set to be the one that best matches the restaurant’s atmosphere.
The post also announced that the next event, in April, will be a siphon herbal tea-making session. The piece conveyed how MOKICHI KAMAKURA is distinctive in its approach of connecting not only food and drink, but also the experience of growing them from the very beginning.
