Nagi no Ne Brewing plans to release seasonal limited-edition "SHIRANUI 2026" using fully ripened Shiranui in mid-June
Nagi no Ne Brewing in Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture, is brewing a seasonal limited beer called "SHIRANUI 2026" using fully ripened Shiranui from Ishigami Farm in the Toi district of Kushima. "SETOKA 2026," released in May, sold out, and reservations for the direct-sales shop allocation are expected to begin.

MugiWait, Shiranui as in that citrus? They're using it so lavishly!? "Fully ripened Shiranui" already sounds ridiculously sweet just from the name alone.
Hop BroAnd it's from Ishigami Farm in the Toi district of Kushima, fermented while preserving the fruit's character. What's important here is the fruit's contours: it's interesting how it brings out not just sweetness, but also a three-dimensional sense of aroma and acidity.
MugiContours? What do you mean, contours? Fruit has contours!? When you say "the depth of the fruit," it suddenly sounds like wine and way too stylish!
Hop BroThat's what this brewery does best: it applies a natural-wine-like philosophy to beer. In other words, it's made to clearly show the expression of fermentation, letting the ingredients shine without hiding them.
MugiSo it's really a "win with the ingredients" kind of approach! And the previous "SETOKA 2026" sold out, right? Just hearing that makes this one feel like it'll be a scramble too, and now I'm getting restless.
Hop BroExactly. They're moving on to the next seasonal release after the previous one sold out. And this time, the early-summer fermentation temperature is apparently bringing out tropical-fruit-like aromas, so I'm really looking forward to how the aroma opens up.
MugiEarly-summer fermentation temperature sounds so hot it might melt the beer! But if that brings out a tropical aroma, then it could feel like vacation the moment you drink it!
Hop BroReservations for the direct-sales shop portion are scheduled to start with Google Forms, and there's still more news to come about deliveries to liquor retailers nationwide. For limited releases like this, the right move is to check the moment the information drops.
MugiGot it, I'll turn notifications on! A seasonal release with Shiranui is way too tempting. I can't wait for mid-June, and now I want to toast right away!
Hop BroThen when it's released, let's chill it and take our time with the aroma first. This one glass of fruit and fermentation is something the two of us have to taste seriously.
Nagi no Ne Brewing, based in Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture, plans to release its new seasonal brew, "SHIRANUI 2026," in mid-June 2026. For this batch, the brewery is using fully ripened Shiranui from Ishigami Farm in the Toi district of Kushima. The brewery says fermentation is progressing while preserving the fruit's character.
What first stands out in this post is its connection to the previous release. "SETOKA 2026," released in May, reportedly sold out, and following that momentum, brewing has moved on to the next seasonal release. Shiranui, the base fruit, is known for its rich, lustrous sweetness, but during brewing that sweetness changes, and the depth and contours derived from the fruit begin to emerge.
Nagi no Ne Brewing continues making beer in Kushima, Miyazaki, carefully combining fruit and fermentation. In "SHIRANUI 2026," too, its brewing philosophy centered on ideas akin to natural wine comes to the fore, and the slightly higher fermentation temperatures of early summer are said to bring out aromas reminiscent of tropical fruit. As it heads toward completion, this looks like a beer to enjoy for the process itself, as fruit, yeast, and time layer together.
Reservations for the direct-sales shop allocation are scheduled to begin via Google Forms. In addition to in-store announcements, the brewery plans to provide another update once deliveries to liquor retailers nationwide are confirmed. This is a seasonal beer to watch for further news on, including the release timing.
