Hop BroGROW BREW HOUSE in Kawaguchi’s Nishi-Kawaguchi has brought out a springlike new beer, Pottering Saison.
MugiHuh, what’s pottering? Does it mean something like taking a leisurely bike ride?
Hop BroExactly. Just like the name suggests, it has a relaxed feel, with the lightness of a saison topped by a gentle sweet aroma.
MugiEven with that explanation, clove-like nuances sound a little too advanced all of a sudden!
Hop BroIn short, it has yeast-derived spice-like character, but finishes with a dry aftertaste that slips away cleanly.
MugiWow! And Golden Week means a six-beer tap list too? That’s the kind of thing that’s fun before you even choose!
Hop BroThey’re going broad, from Mix Milk Shake IPA to Amanatsu Wheat Lager, Heiji Hazy IPA, and Onaji Hanashi Barley Wine, with a wide-ranging lineup.
MugiWait, there are bamboo shoot dishes too? A gratin with Kawaguchi-grown bamboo shoots and they’re going all-in on food besides beer too!
Hop BroThat’s what makes GROW feel like GROW. The appeal is being able to taste it in the atmosphere of a taproom connected directly to the brewery, with that fresh-from-the-brewhouse feel.
MugiIf it’s walkable from Nishi-Kawaguchi Station, that’s easy to get to, and it’s perfect for a weekend detour. Now I really want to go drink there!
Hop BroThey’re open from 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends and holidays, so this is the time to go decide on your first drink of Golden Week.
The brewpub GROW BREW HOUSE in Nishi-Kawaguchi, Kawaguchi City, announced the release of its new beer "Pottering Saison" on Instagram. "Pottering" means taking a leisurely stroll by bicycle, and true to its name, the beer is a saison that softly layers the rich, sweet aroma derived from yeast with bright citrus notes from hops. On the palate, it also carries clove-like nuances, making it an easy-drinking beer with a crisp, dry finish.
The same post also announced a spring bamboo shoot festival. It will feature dishes such as gratin, pickles, and bamboo shoots dressed with Parmigiano, all made with bamboo shoots from Kawaguchi, which is very much in keeping with GROW’s style. One of the charms of this brewery-adjacent taproom is that you can enjoy the atmosphere of the makers right there at the source.

- Mix 7% / Milk Shake IPA
- Amanatsu Wheat Lager 4% / Fruits Wheat Lager
- Heiji 6% / Hazy IPA
- Onaji Hanashi 9% / Barley Wine
- Lieth Waik IPA 4% / Session IPA
