Nagisa Beer’s Mikan Ale Featured Again on Tabi Salad in Shirahama
Nagisa Beer’s Mikan Ale was featured again on the morning travel program *Asa da! Nama desu Tabi Salad*. This time, the spotlight was not on the brewery’s factory but on FIVE SPRING RESORT THE SHIRAHAMA in Wakayama’s Shirahama area.
Hop BroHere’s a nice Shirahama story: Nagisa Beer Nanki Shirahama’s Mikan Ale was featured again on Travel Salad.
MugiWhat! Mikan Ale is that famous? Getting another TV appearance is a big deal!
Hop BroThe key this time is that it wasn’t shown at the brewery, but at FIVE SPRING RESORT in Shirahama.
MugiWhoa, a seaside resort with local craft beer? That already sounds like a winning combo!
Hop BroAnd it uses juice and peel from Wakaoka’s Sowa Kajuen satsuma mandarins, with a solid body and a soft finish of sweetness and acidity, so it’s a proper fruit beer.
MugiWait, what does body mean? We’re not talking about a beer that does push-ups, right?!
Hop BroNo dumbbells involved. Body means the core of the mouthfeel — it keeps the beer from feeling too thin, so it still tastes like beer.
MugiOhhh, so that’s why it’s easy to pair with food. Now I want it with a full resort dinner!
Hop BroExactly. Nagisa Beer Nanki Shirahama also brews with Tomita water, so the local character and the citrus profile really connect.
MugiThat’s so nice — it sounds like a glass of Wakayama instead of just a drink!
Hop BroOnce you see it on TV, you can’t unsee it. Staring at the Shirahama ocean with a pint right now sounds exactly right for Mikan Ale.
Featured Again on Tabi Salad
Nagisa Beer’s Mikan Ale was featured again on the morning travel program Asa da! Nama desu Tabi Salad. This time, the beer was introduced not at the brewery’s own factory, but at FIVE SPRING RESORT THE SHIRAHAMA, a luxury resort in Shirahama, Wakayama.
The resort positions itself as an all-inclusive stay on the coast of Shirahama, where meals and drinks are part of the experience. Against that setting, a locally made craft beer naturally fit the broadcast’s regional travel theme.
Mikan Ale is one of Nagisa Beer’s standard beers. On the brewery’s official site, it is described as a fruit beer made with juice and peel from Unshu mikan supplied by Sowa Fruit Orchard. It keeps a solid beer character while leaving a soft citrus sweetness and acidity on the finish, making it an easy match for food.
Nagisa Beer is brewed in Shirahama and uses Tomida no Mizu as its brewing water. That local connection is central to the brewery’s identity, and it helps explain why Mikan Ale continues to appear both in resort dining and in regional media coverage.
