Mahou Brew

What kind of brewery is Mahou Brew?

The story behind Mahoubrew in Tsuboya, Naha is ridiculously interesting.

Tsuboya is where yachimun... Okinawa's famous pottery is, right?

hop normalHop Bro

Exactly. The representative, Tatsuro Omokawa, used to travel all over Japan on a scooter, drinking craft beer along the way, and he ended up falling in love with Okinawa during that trip and moving there.

A scooter beer trip?! And that made you put down roots in Okinawa?

After moving, he first opened a sandwich shop called Witch's, then trained for six months at a brewery in Okinawa, and after that they renovated the place themselves and turned it into a brewery. Apparently they did everything themselves, from importing the equipment to the piping work.

DIY into a brewery... Turning from a sandwich shop into a beer brewery is incredible.

hop thinkingHop Bro

The head brewer, Baku Yanagi, is a metal music fan, and that worldview shows up in the beer names too. There are a lot of dark, fantastical names like Ophelia, an imperial gose, and Edge of Night, a stout.

mugi surprisedMugi

Those beer names are so cool! It has such a magical vibe. How does it taste?

hop proudHop Bro

Juliet, an imperial gose, won gold at the JGBA. It uses Okinawan shikuwasa, sea salt, pineapple, cabuchi, and more generously, and its concept is "beer that is interesting, challenging, and self-indulgent."

"Self-indulgent beer"! That's a great phrase. Craft beer after a pottery walk around Tsuboya sounds like the perfect plan.

The attached Witch's Sandwich also makes the setup fun: Cuban sandwiches during the day and a beer bar at night. They release about four new beers every month, so you'll find a different beer every time you visit.

Cuban sandwiches and craft beer! That has to be delicious. A magical brewery tucked away in the back streets of Tsuboya? I'm definitely stopping by on my next Okinawa trip!
