KAMIKATZ BEER, the brewery from Kamikatsu, Tokushima, will hold a two-day pop-up at SAMAA_ on June 20 and 21. The post highlights four beers: KAMIKATZ ZERO WASTE ORGANIC LIFE PALE ALE 02, KAMIKATZ IPA 03, KAMIKATZ WHITE 04, and KAMIKATZ STOUT.
Hop BroThis one caught my eye: a pop-up at SAMAA_. On June 20 and 21, KAMIKATZ BEER from Tokushima is pouring four core beers.
MugiWhat! KAMIKATZ BEER already sounds intense. What kind of brewery is it?
Hop BroIt’s a brewpub in Kamikatsu, under RISE & WIN Brewing Co. And it comes from a town with a zero-waste declaration, so you taste the place’s philosophy too.
MugiWhoa! You can drink the philosophy too? That’s wild. So what’s on the lineup?
Hop BroThey’re bringing four flagship pours. KAMIKATZ ZERO WASTE ORGANIC LIFE PALE ALE 02 is the balanced everyday one, and KAMIKATZ IPA 03 really makes the hops stand out.
MugiWhat does that even mean? Hops with an outline sounds like a beer drawn in pencil!
Hop BroIt just means the aroma and bitterness are clearly defined. And KAMIKATZ WHITE 04 has a soft mouthfeel... yeah, I can already see that question on your face.
MugiOf course I’m asking! What is mouthfeel? Did beer people just make “texture in your mouth” sound fancy?
Hop BroBasically, yes. It’s the feel on your palate. WHITE 04 is gentle and fluffy, KAMIKATZ STOUT brings roast and depth, and the local-ingredient angle is classic KAMIKATZ too, with things like yuko citrus and Awa bancha in the background.
MugiWow, that sounds like you’re not just drinking beer, you’re getting a taste of Kamikatsu. I like that SAMAA_ first connected through zero-waste, not just booze.
Hop BroExactly. The real hook is getting flavor and story at once. I already want to do PALE ALE to STOUT as a full tasting flight.
MugiI’m already torn between IPA 03 and WHITE 04, which probably means I’m ending up with all four.
KAMIKATZ BEER, the brewpub based in Kamikatsu, Tokushima, is set to host a pop-up at SAMAA_. According to the Instagram post, the event runs for two days, on June 20 and 21, and the lineup includes KAMIKATZ ZERO WASTE ORGANIC LIFE PALE ALE 02, KAMIKATZ IPA 03, KAMIKATZ WHITE 04, and KAMIKATZ STOUT.
KAMIKATZ BEER was born from Kamikatsu Town's Zero Waste Declaration, and the brewery's official story centers on sustainability, local ingredients, and resource circulation. That gives the brand a clear identity: these are beers that are not only enjoyable to drink, but also tied to a broader view of place and community.
The pop-up's appeal lies in its range. PALE ALE 02 offers a balanced, everyday drinkability; IPA 03 brings a sharper hop profile; WHITE 04 leans into a softer, wheat-driven character; and STOUT adds roasted depth and richness. Together, they show the breadth of KAMIKATZ's core lineup, while also reflecting the brewery's use of local ingredients such as yuko citrus, Awa bancha tea, Tokushima-grown barley, and Naruto Kintoki sweet potato.
The post also notes that SAMAA_ discovered Kamikatsu through its zero-waste efforts rather than through beer alone. That context makes this pop-up more than a simple tasting event: it is a practical introduction to the ideas behind KAMIKATZ BEER, served through a glass.
