Brew Lab Kurayoshi in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, will begin selling the "Harukana Town White-Walled Storehouse District 3-Bottle Set!" from April 2. This limited set combines popular local beers made with sake lees, starlight, and pear, and reservations will also be accepted.
Hop BroBrew Lab Kurayoshi in Kurayoshi City, Tottori Prefecture, is releasing a limited "Harukana Town White-Walled Storehouse District 3-Bottle Set!" from April 2. It’s a pretty intriguing set that brings together local beers made with sake lees, starlight, and pear.
MugiWait, you can drink sake lees, starlight, and pear all in one go? That totally feels like a stylish Kurayoshi sightseeing souvenir!
Hop BroExactly, and the fact that it’s being sold in limited quantities and that reservations are accepted makes it even more exciting. It has that sold-out-before-you-know-it vibe that really gets craft beer fans going.
MugiBut what’s so different about local beers anyway? Aren’t they just beers with a locally themed name?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: they actually use local ingredients. Sake Lees Brew uses daiginjo sake lees from Gensui Shuzo, Starlight Ale uses Tottori Prefecture’s branded rice, Starlight Mai, and Pear Brew contains juice from Oushu pears, so the taste of the land becomes the beer’s character.
MugiWow, just hearing Starlight Mai as a secondary ingredient makes me want to drink it! Wait, is it okay to put rice in beer?
Hop BroNot only is it okay, but the way secondary ingredients are used changes the aroma and mouthfeel. Rice tends to make it lighter, and sake lees can add a bit of depth from the fermentation, too.
MugiI see! So does the juicy pear character in Pear Brew make it taste like a sweet juice?
Hop BroIt’s not just about sweetness. The key is the fruit aroma and fresh juiciness. With the drinkability of an ale plus the clean impression of pear, it should be pretty refreshing.
MugiAnd the shop is right in the center of the White-Walled Storehouse District, so even the atmosphere sounds delicious...! Walking through the streets and then drinking right after sounds like the best possible flow.
Hop BroExactly, and the concept of tradition x new comes through in the product name too. Just imagining those three bottles lined up with Kurayoshi’s scenery makes it feel like a trip before you even take a sip.
MugiAll right, let’s toast with the 3-bottle set! We’ll definitely argue over which one to start with, but that sounds fun too!
Hop BroIt’s hard to choose first, but the time spent tasting side by side is a treat in itself. I’d like to reserve it and slowly enjoy Kurayoshi’s atmosphere along with it.
Brew Lab Kurayoshi will sell the "Harukana Town White-Walled Storehouse District 3-Bottle Set!" from April 2. The set includes three local beers from the brewery: sake lees, starlight, and pear. The post says it will be sold in limited quantities, and that reservations will also be accepted.
All three bottles make use of ingredients and themes closely tied to Kurayoshi. On the official website, Sake Lees Brew is introduced as a special beer made with daiginjo sake lees from Gensui Shuzo, Starlight Ale as a beer brewed with Tottori Prefecture's branded rice, "Starlight Mai," as a secondary ingredient, and Pear Brew as an ale using plenty of juice from Oushu pears. It is a lineup that translates local ingredients and sake culture directly into the beer's character.

The name of this set also suggests an intention to connect the local landscape with craft beer.
Just as its name evokes Kurayoshi's streetscape, this is a well-rounded offering both as a sightseeing souvenir and as a tasting set for comparing local flavors. The clear appeal of this product is that you can enjoy the atmosphere of the White-Walled Storehouse District together with three bottles that make the most of Tottori ingredients.
