MOKICHI KAMAKURA to Host Herb Harvest Event for Kamakura Herb Saison on June 25
MOKICHI KAMAKURA in Kamakura, Kanagawa will host a herb-harvest event tied to Shonan Beer’s Kamakura Herb Saison on June 25. The program includes a post-harvest meal at the restaurant, where guests can also enjoy the venue’s Shonan Beer lineup.
Hop BroKamakura has a seriously fun beer event coming up: MOKICHI KAMAKURA is holding a herb-harvesting experience for "Kamakura Herb Saison" on June 25.
MugiWait, beer starts in the field too? A harvest experience event sounds way more hardcore than just ordering a pint!
Hop BroAnd the star is Shonan Beer’s Kamakura Herb Saison, a seasonal release that comes out every July, made with herbs picked for the beer itself.
MugiHold on, what is a saison? That sounds like a special attack, not a beer style.
Hop BroA saison is a bright farmhouse style with a light, lively aroma, so it works beautifully with fresh herbs.
MugiOooh! So when the herbs go in, does it taste like a garden breeze just rushed through your mouth? That sounds ridiculous in the best way.
Hop BroPretty much. And on the day, you can learn brewing and herbs directly from Shonan Beer’s head brewer, which is catnip for beer nerds like me.
MugiAnd it’s 5,000 yen with a meal? Plus a drink? That price feels almost suspiciously generous!
Hop BroIt runs from 10:00 to 13:30, then turns into a meal at the restaurant. It’s basically a field-to-glass experience.
MugiAnd they’re pouring pilsner, IPA, and dark beer too, right? Hearing six Shonan beers already has me fully invested.
Hop BroExactly, and with herb dishes and fermented ingredients, it becomes pairing heaven. After harvesting, I’d want a pint immediately.
MugiI’m done for. This article didn’t just make me curious, it made me thirsty. June 25 in Kamakura sounds like I need a drink now.
A herb garden experience linked to the brewery
MOKICHI KAMAKURA is housed in a brick building renovated from the former Kamakura waterworks pumping station. Inside, the space is open and refined, and the restaurant highlights dishes made with herbs harvested from its own garden and fermented ingredients associated with Kumazawa Brewery. The setting blends local Kamakura character with the brewery’s hands-on, maker-focused approach.
