Hop BroBreaking news! Kirali Brewery has announced that it will be setting up at the March 8 "Reiwa 8 Chiyonosono New Sake Festival."
MugiWhat! Craft beer is going to be at a sake festival too!? That’s awesome!
Hop BroThe venue is the Chiyonosono Sake Brewery special site in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and the hours are 10:00 to 14:30. And it’s not just bottle sales, tap service is planned too.
MugiWhat is that! Tap service, and kaku-uchi too? I’ve heard the term, but I don’t really get it!
Hop BroTap means draft beer poured from a keg, and kaku-uchi is a standing-drink style where you drink in a corner of a liquor store or brewery. This time, you can drink in the "sakagura no katasumi de kaku-uchi" area.
MugiWhoa! Being able to hop between new sake and craft beer while standing and drinking is way too strong an event! There’s local gourmet food too, right?
Hop BroExactly. Kirali Brewery’s appeal is its regionally rooted lineup, like pale ale, weizen, and Gakuma Tea IPA, and in 2025 they also released "Kabuki (sake lees Hazy)."
MugiA beer called sake lees Hazy already sounds like a winner! What does it taste like?
Hop BroA Hazy is a cloudy style with a softer mouthfeel, and then the savoriness and gentle aroma of the sake lees layer on top. What’s interesting is how it brings out the connection between beer juiciness and sake culture.
MugiI see, that fits perfectly with Yamaga’s concept of "brewing local agricultural products and the seasons"!
Hop BroBy the way, there’s no parking at the venue, so public transportation is recommended. If you’re going, the best plan is to start with the intention of drinking from the outset.
MugiDeal! Let’s toast with the new sake and go all in on the tap craft beer too! Just imagining it makes me want to drink already!

Kirali Brewery is a craft brewery based in Yamaga, Kumamoto, and promotes the idea of “brewing local agricultural products and the seasons.” Its lineup includes regionally inspired beers such as pale ale, weizen, and Gakuma Tea IPA, and it has also broadened its ties with local drinking culture. In fact, in 2025 it released “Kabuki (sake lees Hazy),” made with Chiyonosono sake lees, so this collaboration with a sake brewery fits the occasion well.
