Yokohama Brewery (Kanagawa) announced the release of its new "Yokohama Saison" in an Instagram post at 18:08 on March 25, 2026. The post says, "On April 1, 'Yokohama Saison' will go on sale from Yokohama Beer!"

The key point in this explanation is the character of the saison style. The post describes saison as a beer whose name means "season" in French. It also adds the context that it originated from Belgian farmers quenching their thirst during breaks from summer farm work.

In terms of flavor design, in addition to the spicy, lively aroma characteristic of saison, it uses the much-talked-about hop Krush. It is said to bring out citrus and tropical nuances, suggesting a light, easy-drinking profile suited to early spring. In the post, the product concept is clearly expressed with the phrase, "A break for the restless pace of modern daily life."

On its official website, Yokohama Beer states, "Bringing excitement to life in Yokohama with beer that connects people," and also describes itself as "the local beer company with the longest history in Yokohama City." A brewery with deep roots in the region introducing a saison with a more distinctive aromatic expression than the usual standard styles is likely to draw attention in Kanagawa's craft beer scene as well.

As of the announcement, the information released centers on the product name, release date (April 1), and flavor direction. Details such as alcohol content and sales channels are still pending further announcements.
