A seasonal taste from Fujinomiya

Fujiyama Hunters Beer is a small brewery based in the Yuno district of Fujinomiya, at the foot of Mount Fuji. Founded by farmers and hunters, the brewery creates local beers inspired by the surrounding satoyama landscape and its seasonal ingredients.

Its recent Instagram post, titled “Autumn Edamame‼︎...”, draws attention to autumn edamame. The available post information does not specify how the edamame will be served, or when and where it will be available. Even so, the ingredient is a natural pairing for beer and reflects the brewery’s interest in connecting drinks with the local harvest.

The brewery uses natural spring water from Mount Fuji and grows some of its own barley, hops, and rice without agricultural chemicals. Its beers have included “Nengu,” a rice IPA made with rice from Fujinomiya; “YOKI,” a hinoki ale made with local cypress; and “YUNOMURA,” a honey yuzu saison featuring local yuzu and honey from Japanese honeybees.

At its Asama Taisha taproom, visitors can enjoy craft beer alongside dishes made with seasonal game and local vegetables. The brewery’s Yuno tasting room also offers paid tastings, growler fills, and bottled beer when available. Anyone interested in trying autumn edamame with a local beer should check the brewery’s official Instagram for the latest details before visiting.
