VANAVASA, just a short walk down Onari Street from the west exit of Kamakura Station, is a beer pub that also functions as a gallery for craft beer by the glass. In addition to pouring beer from the tap to drink on the spot, you can fill a growler to take home, and the shop also carries a wide selection of cans and bottles. Its appeal lies in the casual ease of dropping by for a single drink, much like a kakuuchi standing bar.

What stands out as this time's guest beer is Collective Arts Brewing's "Raspberry & Lime Gose." The sweet-tart flavor of raspberry is joined by the citrusy brightness of lime, while the tartness and saltiness characteristic of a gose create its outline. It has a strong fruit presence, yet drinks lightly, changing character with every sip.

VANAVASA is not only a place to drink beer, but also a space where people and works of art come together through exhibitions and pop-ups. For beer lovers, the fun is not only discovering unfamiliar labels, but also tasting the atmosphere of the shop itself. When you're wondering what to drink next in Kamakura, a guest beer like this is reason enough to make the trip.
