Bibibi. features Manchin Jozo, a Hokuto microbrewery releasing new beers weekly
Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi. introduced Manchin Jozo, a microbrewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi, on Instagram and note. The brewery sits inside a facility with a shop, event space, and restaurant, and its lineup ranges from schwarz-style beers to fruit ales, with new releases planned every week.
Hop BroI want to talk about Manchin Brewery today. Daikanyama's Bibibi. featured it, and the weekly new releases attitude is seriously impressive.
MugiWait, new beer every week? Wouldn't I spend my whole life just trying to keep up!?
Hop BroManchin Brewery is in southern Hokuto, Yamanashi, with a view of the Southern Alps. It also has a shop, an event space, and a restaurant called Manchinpo all in one place.
MugiWhoa, a multi-purpose brewery space? And it comes with a restaurant too? That sounds like a beer theme park.
Hop BroThe best part is the drink beside the tanks layout, where you can have a pint right next to the brewing equipment. Bibibi.'s owner even visited and wrote it up on note.
MugiHold on, what is Schwarz? That sounds less like a beer and more like a finishing move.
Hop BroSchwarz is a dark lager style. It looks rich, but it often drinks clean and crisp, with toasty malt notes. And this brewery goes from that all the way to ales made with local fruit.
MugiWhat is that range! From dark to fruity is a total flavor roller coaster. No wonder weekends get busy even if train access isn't easy.
Hop BroThat momentum matters. Brewer Yoshito Hamamachi keeps the place moving with a high release pace. The company behind it also does catering, alcohol imports, runs Manchin Saketen in Setagaya, and imports mezcal.
MugiNow I want to study up in Daikanyama before heading to Hokuto. First hear the story at Bibibi., then toast next to the tanks at the brewery itself.
Hop BroThat's the right route. Let's start with a pint of Manchin. Schwarz first or the local fruit ale first, either way I'm fully in drinking mode now.
Manchin Jozo in focus
Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi. spotlighted Manchin Jozo, a microbrewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi. The brewery was introduced as part of Bibibi.'s ongoing coverage of breweries currently on tap, and the note article was based on an on-site visit by the owner.
Manchin Jozo is backed by a company that also runs catering operations and alcohol import and distribution businesses in Tokyo. The same group operates Mancin Saketen, a standing-style liquor bar in Daizawa, Setagaya, and also handles imports of mezcal. The brewery started in 2022 and is built into a large facility in the southern part of Hokuto, with views of the Southern Alps, plus a shop space, an event space, and the restaurant Manchin Bao.
One notable feature is the layout: guests can drink beer right next to the fermentation tanks. Access by train is not easy, but the venue still draws many visitors on weekends. The beer lineup is broad, ranging from schwarz-style beers for more seasoned drinkers to fruit-forward ales made with local produce. Brewer Hamamachi Yoshito says the team aims to release a new beer every week.
Bibibi. is known for presenting beer together with the story behind the maker. That approach fits a brewery like Manchin Jozo, where location, water, and a fast-moving release schedule all shape the experience. For drinkers in Daikanyama, it is the kind of brewery worth following closely as new beers continue to appear.
