Hop BroSo Nutori Brewing in Kawaguchi, Saitama, held its "Cherry Blossom Beer Drinking Gathering" under the sakura. And this year had the largest turnout ever, so it sounds like it got lively along with the spring scenery.
MugiWow! The largest turnout ever? That means the gathering is really popular! Drinking beer under the cherry blossoms is basically a win already, right?
Hop BroWhat’s great is that it’s not just a tasting event; it has really taken hold as a spring tradition. Nutori’s Instagram also posted a report this year with thanks.
MugiOh! But what even is cherry blossom beer? Does it have cherry blossom petals in it, or is it that kind of romantic thing?
Hop BroYou’re not far off, but it’s easiest to think of it as a seasonal brew. It’s a spring house-brewed beer meant to be enjoyed in the atmosphere of flower viewing.
MugiI see. So what kind of place is Nutori Brewing? A direct-sales shop in a residential neighborhood sounds pretty interesting!
Hop BroIt’s within walking distance of the west exit of Kawaguchi Station, and operates as Biiiru Shokudo Nutori with an attached microbrewery. The nice part is that you can enjoy their house-brewed beer with kobanzai, their side dishes.
MugiThat sounds amazing! Kobanzai and beer sound like they’d pair incredibly well. And the fact that you can drink in the shop or take it home is so easygoing and nice!
Hop BroExactly, and the key point this time was being able to toast under the cherry blossoms with Nutori’s house-brewed beer in hand. That’s the craft-beer way: connecting place, season, and people.
MugiWow, I love that feeling of season and memory staying together. Beer isn’t just about the taste - it lets you remember the scenery from that day too!
Hop BroPlus, they’re scheduled to start serving it in the shop from April 1, so you can have one more beer while the flower-viewing afterglow lasts. At this point, we should just go drink spring in Kawaguchi.
MugiI want to go! If you can drink a spring pour at the shop, then even after the cherry blossoms fall it won’t feel sad at all. Now I’m itching to toast right away!
Nutori Brewing, which makes house-brewed beer in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, shared scenes from its springtime regular event, the "Cherry Blossom Beer Drinking Gathering," on Instagram. In the post, the brewery expressed gratitude that this year drew the largest crowd ever, and said it was "the best" to be able to toast under the cherry blossoms with a glass of Nutori's cherry blossom beer in hand.
Nutori Brewing operates as a direct-sales shop with an attached microbrewery in a residential area within walking distance of the west exit of Kawaguchi Station. On its official website, it is introduced as "Biiiru Shokudo Nutori," and its defining feature is the chance to enjoy house-brewed beer together with kobanzai, or side dishes. In addition to dining in, it also offers beer to go, which gives the brewery a friendly, easygoing feel.
What stands out in this post is that it is not merely promoting a product; the gathering around beer itself has taken root as part of the season's pleasures. The appeal of craft beer lies not only in its flavor, but also in how it becomes tied to memories of place, people, and time. Gathering during cherry blossom season and raising a glass of the same beer together is a perfect symbol of that.
The post also says that the cherry blossom beer is scheduled to be served at the Nutori shop starting April 1. For those who want to linger a little longer in the afterglow of flower viewing, the chance to taste it at the store is not to be missed. The springtime pour from the Kawaguchi brewery once again brought a little liveliness to the local community this year.
