The Kawasaki, Kanagawa craft brewery Tokaido BEER Kawasaki-juku Factory has announced a limited offering tied to a local seasonal event.

According to an Instagram post from the brewery (February 12, 2026 at 3:13 p.m.), it will sell "Plum Aroma Ale" in limited quantities to coincide with the "Reiwa 7 Miyuki Park Plum Blossom Viewing Festival," held at Miyuki Park in Kawasaki's Saiwai Ward on Saturday, February 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The beer will be available both on draft and in bottles. The post says the beer uses plums harvested from the plum grove in Miyuki Park, and that its signature traits are a plum aroma and sweet-tart flavor.

Although the main event is on Saturday, February 14, some of the protective fencing is scheduled to be opened from Saturday, February 14 to Monday, February 23 so visitors can view the plum blossoms up close as part of "plum viewing." In addition, partial illumination will be offered from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. during the same period, creating an experience that lets visitors enjoy the blossoms in different moods by day and by night.

Tokaido BEER Kawasaki-juku Factory is a community-rooted brewery introduced on its official website as "a craft beer brewery along the Tokaido where you can dine in, an 8-minute walk from Keikyu Kawasaki Station." This limited "Plum Aroma Ale," which incorporates local ingredients and local context into the beer, is one to watch as a glassful taste of Kawasaki's seasonal scenery. If you want to pair a plum blossom stroll with a drink you can only get on site, it looks worth checking early.
