Yorocco Beer Iwase Brewery, based in Kamakura, Kanagawa, is once again preparing for its annual Harvest Festival. The announcement marks the return of a seasonal tradition centered on a saison made with locally grown green mandarins.

Yorocco Beer’s Harvest Saison has been brewed with green mandarins harvested from a local Kamakura field. In previous editions, the fruit was hand-pressed and its juice blended with a saison. The result combines the refreshing acidity and citrus aroma of unripe mandarins with the spicy character of saison yeast, creating a dry and food-friendly beer suited to the flavors of autumn.

The Harvest Festival is more than a release occasion. It offers a chance to experience the connection between the brewery, local growers, seasonal ingredients, and the community around Kamakura. Yorocco Beer has built its reputation as a local brewery producing a wide range of styles, including lagers, IPAs, and saisons, while making room for ingredients and ideas rooted in the surrounding region.

This year’s Harvest Festival is scheduled for November 3, 2026. Beer lovers can look forward to a seasonal release that reflects Kamakura’s autumn through local fruit and farmhouse-inspired brewing. Further details on the venue, serving format, and availability should be confirmed through Yorocco Beer’s official channels.
