Yurumu Brewing (Ibaraki) shared information on Instagram about its participation in the “130th Commemorative Mito Plum Festival.” In the post, the venue was listed as in front of Kairakuen Gate, and the brewery said it would be selling craft beer on the day.

The highlight this time is “UME GOZE” (plum gose), made with plums. The post described it as having a flavor reminiscent of white wine and a crisp, easy-drinking mouthfeel. At Mito's seasonal event, known for its plum blossoms, the brewery is presenting a beer that connects with local ingredients and the city's image.

Yurumu Brewing is a craft brewery based in Kobuki-cho, Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture. According to its account information, it began its first brewing in March 2024 and, as a relatively new maker, has been taking part in local events. Outdoor events like this one also give the brewery a chance to communicate the character of its beers directly.

For beer fans heading to the plum festival, this should be a chance to enjoy a walk among the blossoms and sample a seasonally themed, sour-leaning style on site. In particular, drinkers who like fruit-derived aromas and bright acidity will likely want to check out UME GOZE.
