Huîtrière Releases 1st Anniversary Session IPA "AKKESHI PRISME"
Huîtrière in Akkeshi, Hokkaido, will release its new anniversary product, "AKKESHI PRISME," in stores on April 18 and online from 12:00 p.m. on April 19. Built around the idea of spring after rain and a rainbow, it has been finished as a light, clean session IPA.
Hop BroHuîtrière in Akkeshi Town has released "AKKESHI PRISME", a session IPA, as a new first-anniversary beer. The design layers spring rain and a rainbow, and the name alone already feels stylish.
MugiWhoa, even the name AKKESHI PRISME sparkles! But session IPA sounds light, yet kind of hard to grasp, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Session IPA is an IPA designed for easy drinking, and at 4.5% alcohol it's brisk while still bringing out the aroma.
MugiOhh! But tropical and strawberry? That's a lot of fruit for a beer, isn't it? Doesn't that make it juice?
Hop BroThat's where the hop usage comes in. It layers in a dank finish too, so it's not just sweet; it also has depth with grassy and damp aromas.
MugiWhat is that, "aromas overlap" is too romantic! And the description says, '3:00 p.m., a glass where a rainbow opens in spring after the rain'—it's so poetic I can't believe it!
Hop BroAnd the background is great too. It even references the seventy-two microseason "Rainbow First Seen," and the way it expresses Akkeshi's sea, grasslands, and changing seasons through beer is very Huîtrière.
MugiI see, so it even includes the town's sense of time. Knowing that makes it feel like you can taste the scenery, not just drink it!
Hop BroThe release is in stores on April 18, and online from 12:00 p.m. on April 19 at the huîtrière online store. As an anniversary release, it's the kind that doesn't shout, but slowly sinks in.
MugiWhoa, I want to drink this already! It feels like a spring glass, and it seems like it would fit both a clear day and the air after rain. Today both of us want to raise a glass!
The craft beer brand Huîtrière in Akkeshi, Hokkaido, has announced a new product, "AKKESHI PRISME." It will go on sale at the brewery shop from April 18, 2026, and at 12:00 p.m. on April 19, 2026, it will also be available in the huîtrière online store.
This beer is a commemorative release that overlaps a seasonal turning point with the brand's first anniversary. In the product description, it is expressed as "3:00 p.m., a glass where a rainbow opens in spring after the rain." Referring to the 15th of the seventy-two microseasons, "Rainbow First Seen," it is introduced as a beer inspired by the soft light and clear air of spring.
Its flavor direction layers aromas reminiscent of tropical fruit and strawberry with a subtle dank finish. The style is a session IPA, with an alcohol content of 4.5% and a volume of 350 ml. While keeping it light, the beer is designed to let the layers of aroma come through, and as its name suggests, it aims to be a beer in which aromas overlap as if dissolving into light.
Huîtrière is a brand that has expressed the sense of time and changing nature in Akkeshi through beer. Akkeshi Town in Hokkaido is a region surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and grasslands, with an environment where sea and fresh water meet. Against that backdrop, "AKKESHI PRISME," released at the brewery's first anniversary milestone, is a new beer worth watching not for flashiness but for the seasonal atmosphere and intent behind its design.
