MugiWhat! An official beer-and-sushi partnership? And temari sushi sounds cute and formidable!
Hop BroThe partner is Yukawa Kozushi, founded in 1964. It's a project pairing seasonal temari sushi with craft beer, offered in three sets: 5 pieces for 1,200 yen, 10 pieces for 2,300 yen, and 15 pieces for 3,300 yen.
MugiWow, so I can't just walk in and say 'I'll take 15!'? My stomach is ready, though!
Hop BroCareful: it's reservation only. You have to apply through the inquiry form by 3:00 p.m. the day before. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are not available for reservations, and same-day changes to the time, quantity, or cancellations aren't allowed, with a 100% cancellation fee.
MugiStrict rules! By the way, what exactly does 'pairing' mean when you say it so often, Hop?
Hop BroIt's about designing how food and drinks work together. When you match the delicate umami of seafood with beer's carbonation and aroma, the 'this is delicious' feeling in your mouth gets amplified.
MugiWhoa, that's science! So have they decided on the beer name or style this time?
Hop BroIt's less a fixed label and more a project to pair it with Hakodate Yunokawa Brewery's in-house craft beer (Endeavour). A key feature is that it uses 100% natural water from Otobe, Hokkaido, and it's really a pairing-first style.
MugiLocal ingredients x local brewery, and temari sushi too! Just imagining it makes me want a drink, so let's toast with beer and sushi tonight!
In an Instagram post by Hakodate Yunokawa Brewery (Hakodate, Hokkaido) at 16:48 on February 1, 2026, the brewery announced the start of a new project, 'Endeavour Temari Sushi,' created with craft-beer pairing in mind.
This project is a collaboration with the long-established Yukawa Kozushi, founded in 1964. The post describes it as a special menu that packs the flavors of the season into each temari sushi piece, and proposes enjoying it together with the brewery's craft beer.
The offerings are the following three sets (tax included).
- 5-piece set: 1,200 yen
- 10-piece set: 2,300 yen
- 15-piece set: 3,300 yen
Orders are by advance reservation only, and applications must be submitted through the inquiry form by 3:00 p.m. the day before. At the time of booking, customers must enter their name, phone number, preferred date and time, preferred set, and quantity. Reservations are not accepted on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week, and same-day changes to the time, quantity, or cancellations are not allowed (100% cancellation fee).
On its official website, Hakodate Yunokawa Brewery describes itself as a restaurant attached to a brewery along the streetcar line in Yunokawa-cho, Hakodate City. Centered on craft beer made with 100% natural water from Otobe, Hokkaido, and dishes made from local ingredients, this sushi collaboration seems to make its approach of connecting local food and beer even clearer.
For beer fans, this creates a concrete chance to try the combination of delicate seafood umami and beer as a set. It is a new menu to watch, offering a distinctly Hakodate food experience alongside house-brewed beer.
