Background on the Brewery

According to its official website, Nutori Brewing (Kawaguchi, Saitama) has been making house beer since February 2021 in a 50-year-old apartment building, using a small tank to full effect. In the space attached to the brewery, it serves not only craft beer but also "nourishing meals" such as shumai, game meat, and seasonal obanzai. Its hallmark is a style that lets people enjoy food and the place as one, rather than beer alone.

This recruitment drive for the “Nutori Friends Club” can be seen as an effort to extend that everyday brewery experience beyond regulars to new drinkers as well. For those who want to keep enjoying the local brewery culture coming out of Kawaguchi, March looks like a good time to consider joining.
