Hop BroKinshi Park is about to get lively, because Craft Beer Grand Prix 2026 will have a booth from Niiza Craft.
MugiWhat! That sounds fun! So Niiza Craft... what kind of brewery is it?
Hop BroIt’s a brewery in Niiza, Saitama, and it actually came from System Advance origins. They launched in July 2021, finished the brewery in May 2023, and now brew locally in Niiza.
MugiA manufacturer turning into a brewery? That is a wild pivot. I would absolutely do a double take.
Hop BroWhat makes them stand out is local ingredient brewing. They use carrot leaves as an extra ingredient, and they even grow hops right next to the brewery.
MugiWhoa, okay, but what is an adjunct? That suddenly sounds like a science quiz.
Hop BroIt just means an extra flavor ingredient beyond the core malt and hops. In their case, local ingredients help give each beer a distinct personality.
MugiGot it! Then I want to try one. NAKAJI'S WEIZEN sounds intense already, so what’s it like?
Hop BroIt’s a weizen, and the big hook is banana-like aroma. They also have the easy-drinking NAKAJI'S HELLES, the balanced-bitter NAKAJI'S IPA, and the aroma-focused NAKAJI'S PALE ALE.
MugiHelles, weizen, IPA... this is a tasting spellbook now! But if there’s food too, I kind of want to try every single one.
Hop BroAnd the event uses visitor voting to choose the grand prix winner. Tasting, comparing, and then casting a vote is a pretty great setup.
MugiThat sounds way too good. A locally rooted pint in Kinshi Park with food on the side? I already want to go grab a drink.
Niiza Craft, based in Niiza City, Saitama, posted an Instagram introduction for its booth at Craft Beer Grand Prix 2026 in Kinshi Park. The brewery was launched in July 2021 by System Advance, a company known for photomask design and manufacturing. Its own brewery facility was completed in May 2023, and brewing now takes place in Niiza.
A defining feature of Niiza Craft is its use of local ingredients and its focus on regional circulation. On its official site, the brewery highlights the use of carrot leaves as an adjunct ingredient, along with hop cultivation next to the brewery as part of its farm-to-glass approach. Its lineup includes `NAKAJI'S WEIZEN`, `NAKAJI'S HELLES`, `NAKAJI'S IPA`, and `NAKAJI'S PALE ALE`, each designed with an approachable drinking style in mind.
The Kinshi Park event uses visitor voting to decide the grand prize, and food vendors are part of the lineup as well. For beer fans, it is a chance to compare styles while seeing how a Niiza-based brewery presents its beers in a large Tokyo event setting.
