Harvesting Herbs, Connecting Them to Beer


MOKICHI KAMAKURA announced a herb harvest experience as part of its Herb Garden Project on June 25. The post said participants could learn about herbs and beer with Shonan Beer brewer Tsutsui, and that exchange tickets for “Kamakura Herb Saison” were prepared for guests.

A Beer Born From the Garden in Kamakura


“Kamakura Herb Saison” is a saison-style beer made with fresh herbs harvested from the garden at MOKICHI KAMAKURA. Its appeal lies in the link between the garden experience and the finished beer: visitors can imagine how the herbs they picked become part of the aroma and character of the final pour. For beer fans, that direct connection from ingredient to glass is the most compelling part of the project.

A Venue With Strong Character


The restaurant is housed in a renovated brick building that once served as the former Kanagawa Prefectural Kamakura Pressure Pump Station. Its exterior feels historic, while the dining room is open and modern. The kitchen centers on herbs and fermented ingredients from the brewery, building dishes around Italian and French ideas with Japanese touches. There is also a basement shop selling sake, beer, and craft gin made by Kumazawa Sake Brewery, making the venue worth visiting before and after a meal.
