Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill taps Muscat White, a 5.0% muscat saison
Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill in Gotanda has tapped Muscat White, a saison brewed with muscat at 5.0% ABV. The brewpub describes it as a dry, sparkling-leaning beer with white-wine and champagne cues rather than overt sweetness.
Hop BroToday’s feature is Muscat White. It just went on tap at Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill in Gotanda, a 5.0% saison with muscat aroma.
MugiWait, a muscat-scented saison? I was picturing something super sweet, like grape juice pretending to be beer!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. Instead of pushing sweetness, they aimed for a white-wine-like profile.
MugiWhat does that even mean? A white-wine-like profile sounds like this beer is trying to switch careers.
Hop BroNot a full career change, but it has a dry body, firm carbonation, and Nelson Sauvin character that gives it a Champagne-like snap.
MugiHold on, what is Nelson Sauvin? A hop, a person, or the start of an extremely fancy exam?
Hop BroIt’s a hop variety that often gives off white-grape-like aroma. So this is a flavor-led beer that wins you over with aroma and finish.
MugiOhh, nice! If it’s not sugary, it sounds easy to pair with food, which makes it perfect for after work.
Hop BroExactly. Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill is near the station, open year-round, good for reservations and parties, and dogs are welcome outside on the terrace.
MugiThat place is way too convenient. And since Onegai Si Muscat was already a hit, they’ve clearly got real muscat experience.
Hop BroRight, and this one sounds even more polished. Just talking about it makes me want to test that light 5.0% drinkability for myself.
MugiSame here. A saison with wine-like aroma and crisp finish? I’m fully ready for a toast in Gotanda right now!
Far Yeast Tokyo Brewery & Grill is the brewpub operated by Far Yeast Brewing. It sits a short walk from Gotanda Station, is open year-round, and is set up for everything from casual after-work drinks to larger reservations and parties. The terrace is also dog-friendly.
The new release is Muscat White. In the Instagram post, it is introduced as a "saison with muscat" at 5.0% ABV. Rather than pushing obvious fruit sweetness, the beer is aimed at a drier body, lively carbonation, and Nelson Sauvin-driven notes that evoke white wine and champagne. It reads like a beer designed for aroma, lift, and finish as much as for drinkability.
The venue has also drawn attention with muscat-based releases such as Onegai Si Muscat, which helps explain why this kind of beer feels right at home here. In Gotanda, it should work well both as a food-friendly pint and as the main event for a quick stop focused on beer.
