KAMIKATZ Beer Begins Full Sales of Tokushima-Only YATTTOSA BEER
KAMIKATZ Beer has started full sales of YATTTOSA BEER, a Tokushima-only sudachi lager, from July 7. Built on a light rice-based lager with fresh sudachi peel character, the beer is available at selected retailers in Tokushima and at RISE & WIN in Kamikatsu.
Hop BroI want to talk about this Tokushima-only lager today. KAMIKATZ BEER started full-scale sales of 'YATTTOSA BEER' on July 7.
MugiWait, that YATTTOSA name already sounds like a festival chant! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's a sudachi lager from KAMIKATZ BEER in Kamikatsu, built on a light rice-based lager with fresh sudachi peel on top.
MugiWhoa, beer with rice? That makes me want to hold a rice bowl by reflex. Why put rice in it?
Hop BroThat part is clever. Rice as an adjunct helps keep the body crisp and easy, so it drinks smoothly in hot weather.
MugiWhat is that, unfairly drinkable? And the article mentions a three-hop lineup too. Does that really matter?
Hop BroIt does. Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Motueka, and Riwaka are shaping a citrus aroma profile that lifts the sudachi instead of burying it.
MugiHold on, aroma profile sounds like the beer hired an architect. Are we drinking or drafting blueprints?
Hop BroWe're drinking, fortunately. It just means the aroma is intentionally layered. At ABV 5.0% and IBU 21, it has a clean, snappy finish that stays friendly with food.
MugiOkay, that's dangerous. If it works with fish and fried food, my chopsticks are never coming back.
Hop BroExactly, and it should shine with karaage, tempura, and salty yakitori. It's limited to Tokushima and available at RISE & WIN Kamikatsu and other local stockists, with no online sales.
MugiThat settles it. I want a fresh local pour of YATTTOSA BEER with tempura right now, and you can order the yakitori.
A Tokushima-only sudachi lager enters full sales
KAMIKATZ Beer, the brewpub in Kamikatsu, Tokushima, has begun full sales of its regional release, YATTTOSA BEER. The beer first launched in April 2026, but demand quickly pushed it out of stock at many retailers. Full distribution began on July 7.
The beer is built on a light, crisp lager base made with rice, layered with the bright citrus aroma of sudachi peel, a fruit deeply tied to Tokushima's food culture. According to the official details, the recipe uses pilsner malt, Vienna malt, acid malt, and the hops Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Motueka, and Riwaka. It clocks in at 5.0% ABV and 21 IBU, with a clean finish designed to pair naturally with meals.
Built for the table
The brewery describes the beer as a refreshing lager with a fresh citrus lift and a gentle bitterness. That profile makes it a strong match for fish dishes, fried foods such as karaage and tempura, and simply seasoned yakitori. It is the kind of beer that resets the palate without getting in the way of the next bite.
A beer that reflects Kamikatsu and Tokushima
KAMIKATZ Beer operates from Kamikatsu, a mountain town known for its zero-waste ethos and deep connection to local ingredients and community-driven brewing. YATTTOSA BEER is positioned as a beer for Tokushima's everyday moments, drawing its name from the local Awa Odori shout "Yattosa" and linking the product to the rhythm of the region.
Sales are limited to Tokushima Prefecture. The beer is available at RISE & WIN in Kamikatsu and at selected KAMIKATZ Beer retailers across the prefecture, with no online store availability. For beer drinkers interested in place-driven lagers, this is a clear example of local character translated directly into the glass.
