A Session IPA that reflects spring, made with Ashikita ingredients
Brewing Hyaku introduced the spring edition of "Hyakka Ryouran Springy~ (hyakkaryouran spring 2026)" in an Instagram post. The price is 880 yen, the style is Session IPA, and the ABV is 4.5%. Its adjunct ingredients are wakoucha from Ashikita and hachika honey from Ashikita.
According to the post's description, the honey is a multifloral honey collected by bees from Yoshikawa Honey Farm. The wakoucha is an indigenous cultivar from "Ocha no Kajihara," made from tea leaves grown for three generations under pesticide-free, organic cultivation, it says. The 2026 version is designed so the tea aroma can be felt more delicately, with a clean finish that lingers lightly, emphasizing a springlike sense of ease.
