On March 5, 2026, Pecora Beer introduced its new beer, "#046 Sakura Fluffs / Sakura Fluffs," in an Instagram post reading "\NEW BEER🐑🍺/".
This release is specified as Beer Style: Sakura Hazy Pale Ale, ABV: 6.0%, IBU: 8. The post states that 680 cherry leaves were used to create a smooth drinking experience evoking full-bloom cherry blossoms. It explains that the 2026 version enhances the hazy expression while drawing out the elegant aroma derived from cherry leaves. Using American Noble Hop Citra, the beer is designed to suppress strong hop aroma and emphasize the haze. It also highlights the cherry blossom color derived from beets as another spring-like element.
It is being served at "Pecora Beer Kitchen," the taproom attached to Pecora Beer, and was on tap at the time of the post. Pecora Beer says on its official website that it is a craft beer brewery in Asao Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and that its attached store serves house-made craft beer. Access is a one-minute walk from the south exit of Satsukidai Station on the Odakyu Tama Line. In this way, the local brewery has launched a limited release that puts seasonal spring ingredients front and center.
Even among cherry blossom-flavored beers, this one clearly defines its intent not only through aroma, but also through haze and color. It is a new release that makes you want to compare it with the brewery's regular lineup while spring is still here.
