What the beer is like


MOKICHI FOODSGARDEN highlighted Shonan Beer’s Kamakura Herb Saison, a saison brewed with fresh herbs grown in the MOKICHI Kamakura garden. The beer uses shiso, lemongrass, mint, and, according to Kumazawa Brewing’s feature article, herbs such as oregano, pineapple sage, and geranium as well. With an ABV of 5%, it is presented as a summer-leaning beer with layered herbal aroma and a light, lively finish.

Why it fits the venue


MOKICHI FOODSGARDEN is a beer pub built inside a spacious former prewar barley-processing factory. The setting feels industrial yet warm, and the kitchen focuses on dishes that pair naturally with Shonan Beer, including stone-oven Neapolitan pizza. There is also a Baker’s Cafe attached to the restaurant, so guests can extend the visit beyond a simple beer stop. The location, about a five-minute walk from Chigasaki Station, makes it easy to drop in for lunch, dinner, or a more relaxed beer-and-food session.

For beer fans


Kamakura Herb Saison is interesting because it translates a garden harvest directly into beer. Rather than pushing intensity, it aims for a balanced expression of herbal freshness, subtle citrus character, and saison-driven spice. That makes it a strong fit for MOKICHI FOODSGARDEN’s broad menu and spacious atmosphere. For drinkers looking for a local, seasonal beer with a clear sense of place, this is the kind of guest beer worth noting.
