ISANA Brewing Releases Two New Canned Beers Featuring Pear Saison and Coffee Dashi Stout
ISANA Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, has announced two new canned beers: “惚鎧-NASHINOKAZE-,” a pear saison, and “Coffee Stout 出汁 HOLIC,” a dry stout combining coffee with dashi-inspired umami.
Hop BroIsana Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo has released two wildly distinctive cans: a pear saison and, believe it or not, a dashi coffee stout!
MugiWhat?! Dashi and coffee in one beer? That lineup sounds ready to cover breakfast through midnight snack!
Hop BroFirst is “NASHINOKAZE,” a PEAR SAISON at 4.5% ABV and 14 IBU, designed for a light body and pear-like character.
MugiOoh! But what does IBU mean? Is it a score for how sweet the pear is?
Hop BroIBU is a guide to bitterness. A lower number often means gentler bitterness, so picture a soft pear aroma in this one.
MugiGot it! That sounds perfect for daytime. Such a fierce name, but a breezy pear inside!
Hop BroThen there’s “Coffee Stout Dashi HOLIC,” an experimental dry stout layering roasted malt and coffee with savory dashi umami. It’s 4.5% ABV and 30 IBU.
MugiNo way! Beer can have umami too? It won’t turn into a drinkable omelet, will it?
Hop BroNot an omelet, thankfully. Dashi can make the flavor feel more dimensional, with umami supporting the roast and coffee notes.
MugiAh, so it’s beyond sweet and bitter—it works with food. A beer for dinner, basically!
Hop BroExactly. Isana uses Akishima deep groundwater, roasts its own coffee, and feels like a laboratory for bitter drinks.
MugiIt’s about a three-minute walk from Akishima Station’s south exit? I want to compare them side by side—from pear to dashi!
Hop BroThey’re available at the brewery, online, and through wholesale channels. Crisp pear saison first, then the dashi coffee stout—that’s a tasting order I want.
MugiDone! Let’s toast with seriously quirky beer tonight. Hop-bro, save me some of that dashi finish!
ISANA Brewing, a brewery and roastery in Akishima, Tokyo, has announced the release of two new canned beers. The lineup includes “惚鎧-NASHINOKAZE-,” a pear saison, and “Coffee Stout 出汁 HOLIC,” a dry stout built around coffee and dashi-inspired umami.
“惚鎧-NASHINOKAZE-” is listed as a PEAR SAISON with an ABV of 4.5% and 14 IBU. Its recipe is designed to highlight the character of pear in a light, refreshing saison format. “Coffee Stout 出汁 HOLIC” is a DRY STOUT with an ABV of 4.5% and 30 IBU, bringing together roasted malt, coffee, and savory dashi notes.
The two beers represent ISANA Brewing’s continuing interest in umami-driven brewing. Rather than focusing only on sweetness, bitterness, or hop aroma, the brewery explores how ingredients associated with food and coffee can create a broader, more savory drinking experience.
ISANA Brewing has operated its Brewery & Roastery since May 2018, using deep underground water from Akishima. Alongside its house-brewed beers, the venue serves roasted coffee and food, positioning itself as a place for hands-on experimentation and creative production. The brewery is about a three-minute walk from the south exit of JR Akishima Station. The new cans are available at the brewery, which also offers canned beer online and wholesale sales for cans and kegs.
