A brewery overlooking the Hanno River Valley
Bibibi. is currently introducing breweries visited by its owner across Japan. The latest feature focuses on CARVAAN Brewery, which brews in Hanno, Saitama.
CARVAAN Brewery is operated by FAR EAST, the company behind the organic food shop Far East Bazaar. Its president, Toshiyuki Sasaki, spent years traveling through countries around the world before returning to Japan. He began in street vending, later establishing an import business, and eventually brought that international experience into craft brewing.
One of the brewery’s defining characteristics is its approach to ingredients. Rather than relying solely on conventional supply channels, the company uses its own sourcing network to seek quality hops, malt, and other materials. The goal is to create beers with a distinctive character shaped by carefully selected ingredients.
The brewery is located above the Hanno River Valley, and its adjoining restaurant serves not only beer but also specially sourced foods and wine. Its combination of travel, food culture, and ingredient-focused brewing gives it a distinctive presence among microbreweries in the Kanto region.
The source post does not specify individual beer names, styles, or serving details. Guests should check Bibibi.’s current tap list when visiting, as the available CARVAAN Brewery beers may vary.
