KAMIKATZ Beer releases 'Fig Amber Saison' with Tokushima figs
KAMIKATZ Beer released a new beer, Fig Amber Saison, on June 19. Brewed with both the fruit and leaves of Tokushima-grown figs, the limited release reflects the brewery's local ingredient focus and zero-waste philosophy.
Hop BroToday's new release, Fig Amber Saison, really caught my eye. KAMIKATZ Beer launched it on June 19 as a limited beer made with Tokushima figs.
MugiWhat! A fig beer? Is that basically dessert in a glass? The name alone sounds so stylish I already want to grab a pint.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The style is Amber Saison. It uses an amber-colored saison base, then layers in gentle fig sweetness and a toasty malt note.
MugiHold on, what's a saison? You dropped that like it was obvious, but beginner Mugi is out of mana already!
Hop BroA saison is a style known for being easy to drink, so it tends to have a light, breezy finish. Then the amber side adds a little roasted grain character, so it stays tasty without feeling heavy.
MugiNo way, and they used fig leaves too? That sounds less like brewing and more like having a full conversation with the orchard.
Hop BroExactly. The adjuncts are fig puree, cane sugar, and leaves, and the leaves add a fresh green nuance. That gives it more depth than a typical fruit beer.
MugiThat’s wild! If it’s not just sweet and also has that green edge, it sounds great with food. I want this with BBQ or some Tokushima dishes.
Hop BroThat matches the whole concept. Their Kamikatsu brewpub is a zero-waste space where you can enjoy local-ingredient BBQ with the beer. It’s also nicely balanced at ABV 5.0%, IBU 22, and SRM 12.
MugiThose numbers are still half magic spell to me, but I totally get that this is a glass of Tokushima! It doesn’t sound like just a new product, it sounds like a trip.
Hop BroThat’s it. If you drank it surrounded by nature in Kamikatsu, it would feel like the flavor clicks into place. This absolutely deserves a BBQ pairing.
MugiThat’s unfair! I want a pint now, and now I need to find out how that sweet fig aroma and leafy freshness actually taste together.

Using both the fruit and the leaves gives the beer more depth than a typical fruit beer. The fig character sits on top of the amber saison base, while the malt brings a soft, toasted backbone that should work well with food.
