Hop BroOn October 10, Hiroshima Nou Brewery will pour beer at the Kimita Onsen Sake Festival. A brewery turning local Miyoshi ingredients into beer? That’s worth watching.
MugiWhat, a sake festival at a hot spring!? Local drinks all together sounds dangerously exciting—even before the bath!
Hop BroBased in Kisa, Miyoshi City, they grow ingredients as farmers, then brew and bottle them: from farming to bottling.
MugiThey grow the ingredients too!? Isn’t beer just malt and hops? From field to beer is a much bigger story than I expected!
Hop BroMalt matters, of course, but their local ingredients shine. A signature is HASSAKU SAISON, made with hassaku citrus and Japanese sansho pepper.
MugiBut what even is a saison? My entire knowledge is: ‘Sansho might be great with Japanese food.’ What is saison?
Hop BroA saison is a Belgian-born beer style often known for a light, spicy character. With hassaku and sansho, expect bright layered aromas.
MugiOoh! They also make Pione Ale with Pione grapes and plum, plus CHA IPA brewed with Miyoshi yacon tea? Fruit and tea are joining the party!
Hop BroAnd there are awards: HASSAKU SAISON won a gold medal at the Japan Great Beer Awards in 2025, while Hazy Pione and Shine Muscat Ale earned bronze in 2026.
MugiAward-winning beers too!? But the exact beers, sales format, and schedule are not announced yet, right? Detective Mugi will check the latest updates!
Hop BroThat’s the spirit. Check the brewery and organizer updates, then let’s toast with local sake and beer—Miyoshi flavors in a glass. Naturally, only if you’re of legal drinking age.
MugiIt’s a plan! Let’s meet craft beer filled with Hiroshima’s fields at the festival. I’m already itching to raise a glass!
