Four new beers from GAiRO brewing arrive at Kamakura's VANAVASA, served on the bench outside
A new shipment of beer has arrived at the beer pub VANAVASA in Onarimachi, Kamakura, from Yamagata's GAiRO brewing. The post shows bottles from the SUNBURST, SOUL SHINE, and TOUCH OF GRAPE series, along with a suggestion to enjoy them on the bench in front of the shop.
Hop BroA new batch of four GAiRO brewing beers has arrived at VANAVASA in Onarimachi, Kamakura. Being able to drink on the bench out front is exactly the kind of thing that hits after a stroll.
MugiWhoa! That's amazing, so it's basically bench-drinking approved? A beer pub where you can have a drink outside makes it feel like you're enjoying the whole town!
Hop BroExactly. The bottles visible in the photo are SUNBURST, SOUL SHINE, and the TOUCH OF GRAPE series. Just the names already make the lineup feel full of sunlight and fruitiness.
MugiWhat does that even mean! A Belgian Hoppy Ale? Belgian and hoppy at the same time? In my head, Belgium and hops are holding hands!
Hop BroThat's a good reaction. This is a hoppy Belgian-style beer that layers hop aroma onto the slightly spicy character of Belgian yeast. It's light on its feet, but the personality still comes through clearly.
MugiOhh! So SOUL SHINE being a Hoppy Saison means it's adding aroma to that crisp saison feel? The name and the flavor both sound stylish and intense!
Hop BroExactly. Because it builds hop character on top of a dry saison structure, the drink is sharp on the palate but fragrant and lively. Another nice thing is that it doesn't wear you out as you drink it.
MugiThen TOUCH OF GRAPE is basically grape all the way just from the name! Beer with grapes in it is a little wine-like too, right?
Hop BroIt is. That's what makes an Italian Grape Ale so interesting: the grain character of beer overlaps with grape-derived nuances. Rather than being overly sweet, you often notice the grape in the aroma and the aftertaste.
MugiSo GAiRO brewing is really good at using fruit and farm-grown ingredients. If you line up three bottles and compare them, the range of flavors would definitely get you excited!
Hop BroWhat's more, VANAVASA is easy to walk to from the west exit of Kamakura Station, and if it's open until 8 p.m. today, it's easy to stop by. This is the kind of arrival that suits slow, relaxed drinking with the atmosphere of the city around you.
MugiAll right, today's plan is a drink along with a stroll in Kamakura! I'm seriously torn between starting with SUNBURST or SOUL SHINE!

In the shop's Instagram post, drinking on the bench in front of the store is recommended, making it easy to imagine stopping for a glass in a spot facing the street, during a shopping trip or a stroll. The post also says the shop is open until 8 p.m. today.
The bottles visible in the photo are from the SUNBURST, SOUL SHINE, and TOUCH OF GRAPE series. SUNBURST has a label that reads Belgian Hoppy Ale, suggesting a light, energetic beer that puts hop aroma front and center. SOUL SHINE is labeled Hoppy Saison, a beer that layers hop character over the dry profile typical of a saison. TOUCH OF GRAPE is clearly marked as an Italian Grape Ale, giving it presence as a series that incorporates grape-derived nuances.
