Kochi Campagne Brewery's craft beer brand "TOSACO" will appear at the Isetan Craft Beer Bar in Isetan Shinjuku from April 1 to 7. The seasonal limited release "Konacchan Honey Mead," which goes on sale on April 2, will be served on draft ahead of its official launch.
Hop BroHere it is, Kochi Campagne Brewery is opening at the Isetan Craft Beer Bar in Isetan Shinjuku. From April 1 to 7, it's a chance to taste the world of TOSACO in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
MugiWhat! Craft beer at Isetan!? And it's a TOSACO draft appearance too? That's the kind of thing that makes a department store feel exciting!
Hop BroExactly, the big draw is being able to drink the Konacchan Honey Mead that goes on sale April 2 ahead of time. It's a new release made with summer orange and honey, right in the heart of the season.
MugiWhat is that! Braggot? That suddenly sounds like a spell!
Hop BroBraggot is, roughly speaking, a drink made by combining malt and honey. Add summer orange to that, and the sweet-tartness and aroma really come forward.
MugiOhh! So that means it has a refreshing aroma and gentle sweetness too. It sounds so early-summer and makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroAnd the venue is also set to have beers with Kochi-style ingredients like Kaya no Mori Hazy Ale and Yuzu Pale Ale. Putting the character of the land straight into the glass is so TOSACO.
MugiTotally! Being able to feel Kochi vibes in the Tokyo area makes it feel like you got a little trip out of it!
Hop BroYou can probably feel the same approach as the regular and limited beers at TOSACO TAP STAND. From April 1 to 7, if it's open every day from 15:00 to 20:00, it's perfect for dropping by for just one drink after work.
MugiThat's dangerous, there's no way it'll stay at just one drink! I'm already curious about Konacchan and Yuzu Pale Ale, and now I want to go right away!
Kochi Campagne Brewery, based in Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, was founded in 2017. It develops the craft beer brand "TOSACO," which makes use of ingredients from Kochi Prefecture, and its directly operated "TOSACO TAP STAND" offers a wide range of beers, from core lineup items to limited editions.
This time, the brewery will appear at the "Isetan Craft Beer Bar" on the B1 floor of the main building at Mitsukoshi Isetan Shinjuku. From April 1 through April 7, it will be featured in a sales area that introduces draft beers from notable breweries across Japan on a weekly rotating basis. The bar is open daily from 15:00 to 20:00, offering a chance to enjoy a glass that evokes Kochi's local character in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The highlight is the new product "Konacchan Honey Mead", which begins general sales on April 2. On TOSACO's official website, it is introduced as an early-summer limited beer with the sweet-and-tart aroma of summer orange and honey, and its style is braggot. It combines malt and honey as a base, then adds summer orange to create a refreshing aroma, gentle sweetness, and a subtle bitter note.
The lineup announced at the venue includes bottled items such as "Kaya no Mori Hazy Ale," "Arigatosako," and "Yuzu Pale Ale," along with draft selections such as "Kaya no Mori Hazy Ale," "Arigatosako," "Konacchan Honey Mead," "Yuzu Pale Ale," and "Wajo Kölsch." The draft beers available on the day are said to be announced by the venue.
Kochi Campagne Brewery has consistently expressed the character of its region through beer, focusing on making the most of ingredients found only in Kochi. This appearance is likely to showcase TOSACO's distinctive flavors, reflecting that approach. The period in which people in the Tokyo metropolitan area can experience TOSACO is likely to become an opportunity to learn both the brand's background and its seasonal limited release.
