Better life with upcycle to Make First Appearance at LAZONA Ethical Market
Better life with upcycle, a brewery based in Ebina, Kanagawa, will make its first appearance at LAZONA Ethical Market on October 24 and 25, 2026. The brewery is expected to present upcycled beers made with food-related materials, including surplus bread crusts and off-spec fruit.

MugiWhat?! Beer made with bread crusts? Are breakfast leftovers going into my glass?
Hop BroThat is almost exactly it! They replace part of the malt with bread crusts, creating a beer that cuts food waste.
MugiWhat even is malt? Does the bread crust wear a wheat costume and sneak into the brewery?
Hop BroClose—but it is substitution, not infiltration. Malt is germinated, dried grain, and it gives beer color and sweetness: the grain foundation of beer.
MugiWow! Something that might have been discarded gets a delicious new role. I love tasting the story behind ingredients.
Hop BroAnd the lineup reportedly goes beyond bread crusts to include beer using imperfect fruit. As a beer fan, I want to see how that aroma comes through.
MugiFruit gets rescued and becomes beer too—like a fridge superhero movie! The event theme is “Circulate, connect, toward the future.” right?
Hop BroExactly. It is at Lazona Kawasaki Plaza’s 2F Rufer Plaza on October 24 and 25, from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
MugiThen let’s browse the ethical market and have a toast to the future! Bread crusts, show us how gloriously you’ve grown!
Better life with upcycle will take part in LAZONA Ethical Market at LAZONA Kawasaki Plaza on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25. The event will run from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on both days at the 2F Roof Plaza, where the brewery will be featured as a drink vendor.
Held under the theme “Circulating, Connecting, Towards the Future,” the market brings together reused, remade, and sustainable goods, as well as products connected to food-loss reduction. This will be Better life with upcycle’s first appearance at the event.
Based in Ebina, Kanagawa, Better life with upcycle combines the craft of baking and brewing. According to its official website, the brand creates upcycle beer by replacing part of the malt with bread crusts, giving new value to food that might otherwise be discarded.
Its lineup also includes beers made with bread crusts from bakeries and beers using off-spec fruit. For beer lovers, the appeal lies not only in the finished drink but also in the story behind each ingredient: materials once considered surplus are transformed into beers with their own aroma and flavor.
Visitors to the market will be able to explore sustainable choices while discovering the brewery’s drinks. A stop at the Better life with upcycle booth could add an extra layer of meaning to a weekend visit to LAZONA Kawasaki—one that begins with food waste and ends with a thoughtful craft beer.
