Hop BroToday it's about Aura Brewing in Fujisawa Honmachi, which started introducing its own beer lineup on April 1. The way it turns the local atmosphere straight into beer is pretty interesting.
MugiWhoa! So it's not just a new product announcement, but about bringing out the character of the place? That instantly makes me curious!
Hop BroExactly. It's a microbrewery at 3-3-29 Fujisawa, Fujisawa City, on the former Uochou site in the Fujisawa Honmachi shopping street, and its directly operated taproom opened on August 2, 2025. Makoto Oura is building on the Iwami-style brewing techniques he learned at Iwami Beer.
MugiIwami-style? What is that! It suddenly sounds super artisan, and I can't keep up!
Hop BroBasically, it's a way of brewing that makes the most of ingredients and local character. The signature result of that approach is the F series, which reflects Fujisawa's 13 districts.
MugiOhh! And the names are cute too! #1 Island Breeze sounds so much like the sea breeze that it already tastes good before drinking it!
Hop BroThe lineup is good too. There's #1 Island Breeze, a Session IPA at 4.6%, #5 First Light, a crisp West Coast IPA at 7.2%, and #12 Toasty Days, a Brown Ale at 5.0%.
MugiWest Coast IPA again! So that means the hops are lively, right? Just hearing the name makes my throat tingle!
Hop BroMore or less. The aroma and bitterness are sharp, and a brown ale tends to make the toasty flavor of roasted malt the star. Plus, the shop runs with five taps and also sells bottled products, so you can see a path toward takeout and distribution beyond the store.
MugiSo it's not just another beer place near the station, but a brewery that turns Fujisawa's name into flavor. Now I kind of want to drink my hometown!
Hop BroExactly. Instead of dressing things up extravagantly, what stands out is how it feels like it's accompanying everyday life. All right then, let's have one in Fujisawa Honmachi today.
MugiLet's go, let's go! If we compare the F series, even the map of Fujisawa might start looking delicious!
Aura Brewing, located at 3-3-29 Fujisawa, Fujisawa City, on the former Uochou site in the Fujisawa Honmachi shopping street, is a microbrewery that opened its directly operated taproom on August 2, 2025. Representative Makoto Oura has lived in Fujisawa for about 20 years. Based on the Iwami-style brewing techniques he learned at Iwami Beer in Shimane, he aims to bring the atmosphere of the local area into the beer.
The brewery's signature lineup is the "F series," inspired by the 13 districts of Fujisawa City. On its official website, it introduces beers such as `#1 Island Breeze` (Session IPA / ABV 4.6%), `#5 First Light` (West Coast IPA / ABV 7.2%), and `#12 Toasty Days` (Brown Ale / ABV 5.0%). A feature article by aicco also noted that the shop operates with five taps inside and offers bottled products, suggesting a structure that looks beyond in-house service to takeout and distribution outside the venue as well.
The Instagram post on April 1 is positioned as one part of that introduction to its own beers. Rather than flashy promotion, Aura Brewing's defining trait is its emphasis on the contours of Fujisawa as a place and on brewing flavors that fit into the everyday lives of drinkers. It is worth watching not only as a spot to casually have a drink in Fujisawa Honmachi, but also as a brewery that turns local names directly into the individuality of its beers.
