At 16:51 on March 14, 2026, MATSURI BREWING's official Instagram account posted restock information for Shimanami Brewery's "Shimanami Super Salt Lemon Sour."

In the post, the drink was introduced as "a favorite glass," and the announcement was framed as a "sorry to keep you waiting" message for fans who already knew it. Rather than simply serving as a new product notice, it was a post aimed at people who had been waiting for a restock.

Also explained was the product's style. Unlike a typical lemon sour (distilled spirit + carbonated water + lemon), this is a lemon sour made with craft beer brewing techniques, and its category is happoshu. The post also gave a specific recommendation for how to enjoy it - "best served over ice" - making it sound like a perfect drink for the warmer season ahead.

MATSURI BREWING is a microbrewery based in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, whose motto is "craft beer that evokes a festive day and feels somehow nostalgic and easy to drink." Under its brand mission, "Creating festive days through mikoshi and brewing," the brewery continues to make drinks that bring a little sense of celebration into everyday life. Its brewpub offers 8 taps and 50 bottled selections from Japan and abroad, which is also part of the appeal, since you can encounter distinctive drinks from other breweries like this one.

With the refreshing brightness of lemon, a salty accent, and a beer-brewed character, this is a drink to check out if you're looking for your next glass from a different angle than standard beer.
