Novoru Brewing releases DDH Hazy IPA "Hiraku"
Miyazaki-based Novoru Brewing has introduced Hiraku, a new DDH Hazy IPA built with New Zealand and U.S. hops. The beer is described as citrus-forward, layered with tropical fruit and a smooth finish, and is listed in the brewery's online shop as a 350 ml six-pack.
Hop BroToday’s topic is DDH Hazy IPA Hiraku from Miyazaki’s Novoru Brewing.
MugiWait, that name already feels wide open! So Hiraku is the new release?
Hop BroYep. It’s from Novoru Brewing in Miyazaki City, clocking in at 6.5% ABV and built as a hop-forward beer.
MugiBut hold on, what does DDH mean? That sounds like a chemistry class ambush!
Hop BroDDH means Double Dry Hop, where hops are layered in later to push aroma harder. In normal-human language, it’s extra aroma mode.
MugiOhhh, so this is basically full tropical chaos before you even sip it?
Hop BroPretty much. Southern Cross, El Dorado, Citra, and Motueka bring lime and grapefruit first, then pineapple and melon vibes roll in.
MugiWhat is this, a vacation in a can? And since it’s a Hazy IPA, that means cloudy and silky, right?
Hop BroExactly. The mouthfeel stays smooth, and the herbal-spicy edge keeps it from finishing too sweet.
MugiAnd the official shop has a six-pack of 350ml cans? That is dangerously good news for my fridge.
MugiA brewery that officially opened in January 2024 putting this out already? I’m at need this now levels.
Hop BroSame here. It feels like a clear statement from Novoru Brewing, and now I seriously want a toast with Hiraku.

Novoru Brewing is based in the Aik district of Miyazaki City. The company says the brewery opened in January 2024, following the company's founding in February 2022, and has since developed its lineup through wholesale sales and its own online shop.
Hiraku blends New Zealand's Southern Cross and Motueka with U.S. El Dorado and Citra. The product description emphasizes bright lime and grapefruit notes up front, followed by pineapple, melon, and pear, with a faint herbal and spicy edge that keeps the aroma in balance. The result is a hazy IPA built for layered aroma without sacrificing a smooth drinking impression.
The beer is listed on Novoru's official shop as a 350 ml can six-pack. For more details, see the official site, online shop, Instagram post, and product page.
