Mie-based ISEKADO Jingu Factory announced the release of the “Golden Dragon” revival edition in an official Instagram post on March 23, 2026. The post described it as a comeback “for the first time in seven years,” indicating that it is a redesign that preserves respect for the original while bringing together the current brewing technology of ISEKADO.
The key theme this time is not just nostalgia, but an “updated revival.”
According to the product description, the style is a Session Pale Ale with 4% alcohol. While the design is light and easygoing, it is intended to deliver a strong hop aroma and strike a balance that works well both with meals and as a first beer.
The planned sales schedule announced in the post is as follows.
- BtoB sales: Starts on Tuesday
- EC sales: “Golden Dragon” is scheduled for delivery in the April subscription shipment
The hashtags also include “#beerbar exclusive,” suggesting that the initial rollout will focus on business channels. Since there is a chance of encountering it first at restaurants and bars, the surest approach is to keep checking ISEKADO’s official updates for availability information.
A craft beer revival is not just a rerun; the real appeal lies in how the brewery reinterprets an older release with today’s technology. Attention will be on where the returning Golden Dragon from the Jingu Factory will land within the current lineup.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
