Nutori Brewing introduces its Atami-salt gose, "Ichijikai"
In an Instagram post on July 2, Nutori Brewing introduced its new gose, "Ichijikai," brewed with Atami salt. The beer was presented alongside the brewery's food-pairing approach and its connection to musician Nagahana.
Hop BroI found a fun one today. Nutori Brewing is introducing a new Gose called "Ichijikai," made with salt from Atami.
MugiWait, Atami salt in beer? I can already feel snack time approaching!
Hop BroThat is the charm of it. The Gose style brings a gentle saltiness and tartness, so it drinks crisp and lively.
MugiWhat is that even! Salty and sour sounds less like beer and more like a very dramatic pickle club!
Hop BroFair reaction, but this is really a food-beer design. Once you pair it with dishes, the whole flavor shape makes sense.
MugiOhhh! And the article even mentions a great match with wontons, right? That is basically first-round MVP material!
Hop BroExactly. They are based in Kawaguchi, Saitama, near Kawaguchi Station's west side, and the brewery tap space is built around enjoying beer with food.
MugiAnd then Nagahana the musician shows up too? This beer story suddenly feels like the walk home after a concert!
Hop BroThat is the nice part. With last year's concert "0jikai" in the background, this becomes a beer born from connections, not just a product on a menu.
MugiI am sold. I want a glass of "Ichijikai" with wontons right now, and honestly this sounds like it is heading straight to round two!
In a July 2 Instagram post, Nutori Brewing introduced its new beer, "Ichijikai". The post reflected on a lively evening filled with lingering music and also pointed readers to the following day's service, giving the announcement the feel of a real brewery-night update rather than a formal product release.
The standout detail is the beer itself: a gose with Atami salt. The post says it pairs well with the restaurant's wonton dish that started at Nutori, which makes the beer easy to imagine as a food-friendly option. With the style's salt and brightness up front, it seems built for pairing across a range of dishes.
The post also mentions Nagahana, a musician connected to the beer. Nutori references conversations about last year's concert, "0 jikai," while Nagahana was visiting the brewery, which adds a clear collaborative background to the beer. It is a reminder that craft beer often carries a story beyond the glass.
Nutori Brewing is based in Kawaguchi, Saitama, in a residential area a short walk from Kawaguchi Station West Exit. Since February 2021, it has been brewing a wide range of beers in a renovated 50-year-old apartment building. On its official site, the brewery also highlights its attached dining space and its "jiyo meshi" food offerings. "Ichijikai" fits that identity well: local, collaborative, and designed to be enjoyed with food.
