COEDO Brewery & Restaurant has added SUWADA HOUSE ALE, a collaboration beer with long-established toolmaker SUWADA, to its official online shop in limited quantities. Brewed with Niigata-grown Le Lectier pears, the beer is a refreshing Pear Saison created to celebrate SUWADA’s 100th anniversary.
Hop BroToday, let’s talk about Coedo Brewery The Restaurant’s limited SUWADA HOUSE ALE, a beer made to celebrate SUWADA’s 100th anniversary.
MugiA beer with a blade maker? Is it sharp-tasting beer? I hope it doesn’t make my tongue feel too crisp!
Hop BroNo tongues will be harmed. It was inspired by the agari-zake tradition, where craftspeople in Tsubame-Sanjo share drinks after work.
MugiOh, I love that! It sounds like a toast to craftspeople after a long day.
Hop BroIts style is Pear Saison: a pear-forward saison made with Le Lectier pears grown in Sanjo, with a refreshing golden profile.
MugiWhat’s a saison? Is it beer made by seasonal pear-farm workers? I need the saison secret!
Hop BroCute guess, but not quite. Saison is a Belgian-inspired style known for its light body and expressive yeast character; here, Le Lectier pear aroma joins the party.
MugiFruity, refreshing, and only 4.5% ABV! That sounds perfect after work.
Hop BroExactly. It comes as six 333ml bottles for ¥4,092. Chill it to 4–8°C and pour it into a tulip-shaped glass to capture the aroma.
MugiEven the glass has a job? I nearly released all that pear fragrance into the room—an aroma evacuation drill!
Hop BroIt pairs nicely with cheese and white fish, as well as Japanese or Western dishes. It’s a limited collaboration beer linking Kawagoe brewing with Tsubame-Sanjo craftsmanship.
MugiThen I’m checking stock and getting cheese and white fish! I’m suddenly desperate for an agari-zake toast!
COEDO Brewery & Restaurant, based in Kawagoe, Saitama, is offering SUWADA HOUSE ALE (Pear Saison) in limited quantities through its official online shop.
The beer was created in collaboration with SUWADA, a long-established manufacturer in Sanjo, Niigata, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026. Its concept draws on “agarizake,” a workmen’s tradition in the Tsubame-Sanjo area of sharing drinks and words of appreciation at the end of the workday. The collaboration translates that spirit into a beer intended to reward a day’s work and provide energy for the next.
SUWADA HOUSE ALE is brewed with malt, pears and hops. Niigata’s Sanjo-grown Le Lectier pear is the defining ingredient, contributing to the beer’s fruity character. COEDO describes it as a refreshing, golden-colored ale. It is brewed in the Pear Saison style, with an alcohol content of 4.5%, and is sold as a six-bottle set of 333ml bottles for ¥4,092.
The brewery recommends serving it well chilled at 4–8°C in a tulip-shaped glass to bring out the pear aroma. The beer is presented as a flexible pairing for both Japanese and Western cuisine, with cheese and white-fish dishes specifically suggested. It may also work well as an after-work beer or as a gift for someone who appreciates craft beer and Japanese craftsmanship.
COEDO has long developed beers that connect local ingredients, culture and experimentation. SUWADA HOUSE ALE extends that approach by bringing together Kawagoe’s craft-beer culture and Tsubame-Sanjo’s manufacturing heritage in a pear-forward seasonal ale. As the release is limited, customers should check availability on the official online shop before ordering.
