T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori Starts Selling "Shinmachigawa Sudachi Honey" with a New Design Label
At the brewpub T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori on the basement first floor of Tokushima Station Clement Plaza, Awa Beer’s "Shinmachigawa Sudachi Honey" has arrived with a new design label. Made with sudachi citrus and honey from Tokushima Prefecture, it is a beer defined by its crisp freshness and gentle sweetness.
Hop BroToday, the new design label at T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori, found in the basement of Tokushima Station, is the hot topic. Just hearing that Awa Beer’s "Shinmachigawa Sudachi Honey" has arrived makes the whole place feel like it’s gone into citrus mode.
MugiWhat! A beer with sudachi and honey already sounds delicious! But in a yakitori shop, would something so refreshing really work?
Hop BroThat’s the thing, it works incredibly well. With 5% alcohol and IBU 8, it’s light, and the sharp acidity of Tokushima-grown sudachi is gently layered with the soft sweetness of honey.
MugiIBU? That sounds like the name of a science experiment and suddenly it got hard!
Hop BroGood question. You can think of it as a measure of bitterness, and 8 is very restrained. In other words, it lets you enjoy the sudachi citrus character and sweetness without excess bitterness.
MugiOhhh! And the light orange color when it’s poured into a glass sounds beautiful. Just from the look of it, I already want to drink it on a summer evening!
Hop BroWhat’s more, Yoitori is strong because it’s meant to be enjoyed with charcoal-grilled yakitori. The saltiness of Awaodori chicken or mature chicken, plus the chicken fat, pairs incredibly well with this beer’s light acidity and sweetness.
MugiSeriously! So you bite into a skewer and let the sudachi aroma wash it down? That sounds like something I could eat and drink forever!
Hop BroExactly. It’s excellent as a food-pairing beer. And since it’s on the basement first floor of Tokushima Station Clement Plaza, it’s also nice that you can drop in after work and easily enjoy a solo drink at the counter.
MugiAnd this beer won a silver medal at the International Beer Cup, right? A strong brew made with local ingredients like that makes me feel kind of proud.
Hop BroYeah, it’s a bottle packed with the essence of Tokushima. If you drink Shinmachigawa Sudachi Honey with yakitori, it might even feel like a trip, even though you’re still in the station basement.
MugiAll right, decided! I want a drink with yakitori! The refreshing sudachi followed by the gentle sweetness of honey makes me want to taste it right now!
A Tokushima-style beer finished with sudachi and honey
At T.S.Brewery・Yakitori Sakagura Yoitori, Awa Beer’s "Shinmachigawa Sudachi Honey" was introduced with a new design label. This specialty honey beer mixes sudachi juice from Tokushima Prefecture with honey. It has an alcohol content of 5% and an IBU of 8.

Why it pairs well with yakitori
Yoitori is a brewpub located on the basement first floor of Tokushima Station Clement Plaza. Its strength lies in letting guests enjoy freshly brewed beer made in-house alongside charcoal-grilled yakitori. In addition to yakitori made with Tokushima Prefecture’s Awaodori chicken and mature chicken, the calm space with a noren curtain at the counter makes it easy to stop by alone. "Shinmachigawa Sudachi Honey," with its light acidity and sweetness, pairs well with salty skewers and chicken fat, making it easy to enjoy as a food-pairing beer.
An award-winning local beer
This beer won a silver award at the International Beer Cup 2015. For people in Tokushima who want to enjoy craft beer nearby, it is worth remembering as a brew that makes use of local citrus and honey. Tasting it at the station basement together with freshly grilled yakitori creates a glass that naturally captures the feeling of Tokushima.
