Nutori Brewing Previews Akahana to Hachimitsu at Iriya Morning Glory Market
On July 6, Nutori Brewing said its shop would be closed for the day and reported that it had headed to the Iriya Morning Glory Market, where it began early pours of its collaboration beer Akahana to Hachimitsu with Uguisudani Honey Lab. The beer is presented as a honey beer made with local honey.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the Morning Glory Festival collab. Nutori Brewing pre-opened a beer called "Akahana to Hachimitsu" with Uguisudani Honey Lab.
MugiWhat! Akahana to Hachimitsu is such a cute name. A craft beer at the Iriya Morning Glory Festival feels like summer and beer holding hands.
Hop BroThe key is the local Uguisudani honey. When a beer uses ingredients tied to the place, it can taste like the event itself.
MugiWait, what does pre-opening the keg even mean? That sounds way more dramatic than just pouring a beer.
Hop BroFair point. Pre-opening the keg means serving it before the full regular rollout. Basically, the festival crowd got first dibs.
MugiSo they got the very first sip? That’s unfair. My jealousy is blooming faster than the morning glories.
Hop BroOne detail: the style wasn’t disclosed. Still, with honey in a collaboration beer, you can reasonably expect soft aromatics and a gentle sweetness.
MugiYou lost me at beer engineering again. Does that mean it’s an adjunct? What exactly is the honey doing?
Hop BroExactly, the honey is an adjunct. It adds character beyond malt and hops, helping build aroma and sometimes making the finish feel lighter.
MugiThat sounds amazing. If it has floral honey notes, I’d probably taste summer before I even notice the crowd.
Hop BroNutori Brewing is also great context here. They’ve been brewing in Kawaguchi since 2021, and their place is known for beer plus nourishing meals.
MugiThat settles it. I want to raise a glass to a wonderful summer day with "Akahana to Hachimitsu" right now, and you’re not allowed to lecture until after the first sip.
Nutori Brewing posted on July 6 that its shop was closed for the day because the team had gone to the Iriya Morning Glory Market. At the venue, it announced an early tapping of its collaboration beer Akahana to Hachimitsu with Uguisudani Honey Lab.
The post says the beer uses honey from the Uguisudani area, the local neighborhood connected to the market, and invites visitors to toast to a good day. It is a straightforward event-style release, tied directly to the market setting.
Based in Kawaguchi, Saitama, Nutori Brewing has been brewing since February 2021 in a 50-year-old apartment building in a residential neighborhood near Kawaguchi Station. According to the brewery's official site, the space combines house-brewed beer with food service, including its signature dishes served alongside the beer.
The post shows how Nutori uses off-site events as part of its brewing activity: closing the shop, appearing at a local market, and introducing a collaboration beer built around a clearly local ingredient. It is a practical, community-linked approach that fits the brewery's small-scale setup in Kawaguchi.
