Based in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, Ichimaru Yon Brewery is a craft brewery with a strong connection to its local community. Its official website features a broad lineup including 104 Ale, 104 HAZY, NEW PILS, DDH IPA and Coffee Porter.
The range covers several beer styles, from crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to dark beers with roasted character. The brewery lists IPA, dark beer, pale ale, fruit beer, lager and white beer among its categories, giving drinkers a variety of options for different meals and occasions.
One of the brewery’s notable approaches is its use of local connections. In August 2026, it began selling Senban, a collaboration with Chikokonoiwa Sake Brewery, also located in Toki. The saison uses sake lees from the brewery’s Daiginjo Hohana. According to the brewery, it offers a dry, refreshing palate followed by aromas derived from the sake lees.
The lineup also welcomed No. 11 Hoppy Lager in June 2026. It is described as a refreshing lager combining a clean finish with bright hop aromas.
