MugiWait, tomato in beer?! Saison and tomato sounds like a salad decided to become a drink!
Hop BroIt is not just a novelty—the beer reportedly opens with a crisp, dry finish, so it should stay very drinkable.
MugiDoes dry mean not sweet? But with tomato, will it taste like vegetable juice?
Hop BroThat is the clever part. Saison yeast brings fermentation-driven aromas, while fuller malt character leads into a tomato-like note at the finish.
MugiWhat?! Yeast makes aromas too? I thought it was just the tiny bread helper!
Hop BroThat is basically right. In beer, yeast ferments sugars and also produces layers of aroma, often fruity or spicy.
MugiOoh! So it starts light, moves into malty richness, then leaves tomato behind—a three-step flavor jump!
Hop BroExactly. It sounds more distinctive than a typical saison, and like a beer for savoring its aromatic layers.

Hop BroDeal. Let’s raise a glass at San.publichouse to this one-of-a-kind saison from the Setouchi islands!
Saison Tomato arrives at San.publichouse
San.publichouse, a craft beer pub in Uehara, Shibuya, Tokyo, is now serving Saison Tomato on tap. The beer comes from Michishio Brewing, based in Osakikamijima, Hiroshima, and brings an unusual ingredient-led character to the tap list.
According to the brewery introduction shared by the pub, the beer opens with a dry drinking profile while presenting a range of overlapping aromas. Beneath that dry impression, a relatively substantial malt character develops, followed by a tomato note toward the finish. The result is a beer with a clear progression from crispness to malt depth and then a distinctive savory-fruity accent.
Saison Tomato keeps the refreshing side of a saison in focus, while the tomato character gives it a different personality from a more traditional example of the style. Its layered aroma and fermentation-driven complexity should appeal to drinkers who enjoy exploring beers with unexpected flavor combinations.
