Japan’s Weird and Wonderful Craft Beers: From Matcha to Wasabi | Arigato Travel
Everyone knows about Japan’s biggest breweries: Sapporo, Suntory, Kirin, and Asahi. These brands are extremely popular in Japan among locals and tourists alike. But have you heard of a miso lager or a wasabi beer? Many breweries across the country are infusing local ingredients into their creations with delightfully unexpected results. Here are a few standouts from Japan’s experimental craft beer scene that you’ll want to try if you’re thirsty for something different. Matcha beer Matcha isn’t just for tea or desserts anymore; the powdered green tea leaves have found their way into the world of craft beer. Some breweries like Kizakura Brewery have embraced this fusion in their Kyoto Bakushu Matcha IPA, offering both beer lovers and tea enthusiasts something unique. This craft beer has gained attention for its bright green color and its smooth and creamy mouthfeel. “Crisp citrus and lightly hoppy and earthy tea aroma. Herbal, earthy flavors give way to citrus, clean hop bitterness, and balancing malt body. Medium body with moderate carbonation; slight alcohol body and warmth. A starkly green and herbal twist on IPA.” wrote a reviewer on BeerAdvocate. Another described it as “boozy and leaned heavily toward matcha tea at the start then finished with some bitter citrus hop at the finish.” Given Kyoto’s deep-rooted tea culture, it's no surprise it found its way into craft beer here, bridging tradition into modern brewing culture. Yuzu ale Yuzu is a fragrant citrus fruit with a flavor that is deeply rooted in Japanese cuisine and culture. Often used for savory sauces and desserts, yuzu is known for its tart, floral taste. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before it made its way into a beer glass. Another popular choice from Kizakura Brewery is their Kyoto White Yuzu, a Belgian-style Witbier ale brewed with Japanese yuzu peels and a variety of spices. Reviewers on BeerAdvocate mention its balanced taste and its tasteful combination of spices and yuzu flavor. It’s a great example of how Japanese flavors can seamlessly blend with global beer styles without losing their identity. Wasabi beer Wasabi, the spicy green root often paired with sushi, has found its way into Japan’s craft beers, offering a unique twist for adventurous tasters. Niigata Beer Co., based in Niigata prefecture, offers their Wasabi Ale. While the flavor may seem unusual, the distinctive taste has made a good first impression on beer enthusiasts. According to a tasting from Umami Mart, the ale is described as “mild, with a scent of wasabi, slightly spicy, fruity wasabi.” It makes perfect sense that such an unconventional beer would come from Niigata, often considered the birthplace of craft beer in Japan, thanks to its early adoption of microbrewing and dedication to quality ingredients. Miso lager Kinshachi Nagoya Red Miso Lager, brewed by Morita Kinshachi in Aichi prefecture, incorporates aka miso, red soybean paste, a regional specialty, into the brewing process. Originally developed for the 2005 World Expo in Aichi, this lager has become a point of pride for the prefecture, winning multiple international awards. The lager’s unique brewing process really shows in its deep red-brown color. The beer holds a respectable 84 (Good) on BeerAdvocate, with reviewers complimenting its caramel malt layered with a light miso flavor. As both a local specialty and global award winner, it stands as a flavorful symbol of Aichi’s craft and culinary heritage. Sakura ale In Japan, the end of the cold winter months and the arrival of spring are signified by the blooming of cherry blossoms, or sakura. This season has inspired many different culinary creations, including sakura mochi and sakura parfaits, and Sakura, an ale brewed by Sankt Gallen Brewery in Kanagawa Prefecture. The blossoms used in the brew are hand-picked every year during Golden Week, salted for preservation, and then rehydrated when ready for brewing. This process produces coumarin, which gives the ale its signature sakura aroma. The result is a floral, mochi-like beer that captures the essence of spring. Tomato ale Far Yeast Brewing, based in Yamanashi Prefecture, isn’t afraid to get creative with its products, and Tomachela, a tomato ale, is proof of that. Brewed with tomatoes from local farms, this beer transforms an everyday ingredient into something refreshingly unexpected. The name shows international inspiration as it combines the Mexican cocktail “Michelada” and tomato. The ale is an evolution of their previous Omoiro Tomato Ale, with an emphasis on celery, basil, and citrus flavor. Soba ale Fukuoka Craft Brewing’s Soba Ale showcases the brewery’s local and innovative approach to craft beer. The ale is brewed in collaboration with the local soba izakaya Kochisoba in Fukuoka City, incorporating roasted malt with buckwheat tea. And to double up on the buckwheat, the brewery recommends the beer alongside a bowl of soba noodles. If you ever find yourself in Fukuoka, don’t miss the chance to sip this soba ale right where it was brewed. Japan’s craft beer scene is overflowing with creativity, blending tradition and local ingredients with bold new flavors in every glass. From matcha and miso to yuzu and tomato, these brews invite us to expand our palates. What makes them even more special is their deep connection to their localities. Many of these brews use local ingredients or are the pride of a prefecture. So, if you’re planning a trip to Japan, why not let your taste buds guide your itinerary? From Fukuoka to Yamanashi to Niigata, there’s a local taproom waiting for you.

Things to Do in Kyoto in August 2025 | Arigato Travel
What’s a summer in Kyoto without fireworks and flea market bargaining? With some art exhibitions thrown into the mix, Kyoto’s event calendar this August is chock-full of activities that will keep you happily busy. Without any further ado, let’s get to exploring all the excitement that Kyoto has to offer this coming month. Gozan no Okuribi If you have time to attend just one event this month, the Gozan no Okuribi is easily the pick of the month. Also called the Daimonji Fire Festival, this event marks the sending off of the spirits of ancestors that were welcomed during the Obon period (early August). The bonfires in the shapes of kanji characters are set ablaze at five different locations and can be viewed from vantage points at the center of town—Nakagyo Ward—or closer to the locations themselves. The more adventurous can try cruise ships on the Kamo River, or rooftop restaurants for better views and photographs. Unmissable if you want to truly feel the festive and traditional spirit of Kyoto. Date: August 16, 2025 Timing: 20:00 - 21:30 Location: Various locations Fee: Free Nijo Castle NAKED Summer Festival This summer, the imperial Nijo Castle is hosting a multi-sensory experience—replete with lights, sounds, and scents—curated by Tokyo-based art collective NAKED that will floor you. For those looking for a peek into Kyoto’s summer “Noryo” culture, this event is a must-see. Projection mappings, illuminations, lantern displays, traditional candle-scooping and shooting games, and food stalls organized around the impressive castle grounds bring the festive spirit to one of Kyoto’s most wondrous UNESCO heritage sites. The summer edition hosts a lantern-making workshop if you are looking to take home a handcrafted souvenir, and Kyoto’s special “omikuji” paper flowers will also be available. Reserve early for discounted ticket prices and assured spots! Date: July 25, 2025 - August 24, 2025 Timing: 18:30 - 22:00 Location: Nijo Castle, Kyoto Website: https://event.naked.works/nijojo/summer/en/ Fee: 300 - 2,200 yen Tanabata Sky Lantern Festival As the legend goes, Hikoboshi the cowherd and Orihime the weaver had eyes only for each other. But, of course, Orihime’s father was not pleased and banished Hikoboshi to the end of the Milky Way. After much sulking on her part, Orihime’s father relented and allowed the duo to meet one day every year (7/7). In traditional Kyoto, the celebrations continue in August, the seventh month of the lunar calendar. One special event worth mentioning is the Tanabata Sky Lantern Festival. Orange, glowing sky lanterns are set afloat, and the night sky is a grand sight to behold. Enjoy the street food, play some traditional games, and make your wishes with some tanzaku at Kifune Shrine or Kodaiji Temple to complete your Tanabata celebrations. And don’t leave your cameras behind!

Part of the city’s Peace Festival, this grand, colorful fireworks display is worth going to for its sheer grandeur, with over 13,000 fireworks expected to go off this year and illuminate the night sky of Kameoka city along the Hozugawa River. The rainbow-roofed yatai (mobile food carts) that glow in the night serve up some delicious Japanese snacks to keep the hunger bugs away! Tickets for stadium seating need to be purchased in advance, either online or at Lawson or Ministop konbinis (convenience stores). The organizers have also tied up with local hotels so visitors can enjoy the accommodation and Kyoto’s famed hospitality.

According to Japanese folklore, the spirits of the ancestors visit during Obon. As part of the traditional Obon celebrations, handcrafted seireisen boats and lanterns are set afloat in the Miyazu Bay to bid farewell to the ancestral spirits as over 3,000 fireworks are simultaneously set off. The glow of the red and white lanterns and the sparkle of the fireworks add a sacred charm to the evening as the cool evening breeze sets in at this port city. To top it all off, a Bon Odori dance performance closes out the evening, so remember to bring your cameras along. If you want to immerse yourself in Japanese tradition on a Saturday evening, this event is right up there on the list this August. Date: August 16, 2025 Timing: 18:30 - 21:30 Location: Shimazaki Park Website: https://miyazu-cci.or.jp/hanabi Sento Kuyo Memorial Atop a hill in northwest Kyoto and close to the Arashiyama Grove sits the Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple. Home to over 8,000 abandoned Buddha statues, the Sento Kuyo Memorial, held every August, is a chance to offer a prayer to lost souls. Countless candles are lit as worshippers gather and pray for well-being through the rest of the year. The shadows of the flickering candles on the moss-covered statues, the priests chanting sutras, and the sheer faith of the assembled worshippers combine to make for an otherworldly scene. If you are in Arashiyama, try to stop by and put your hands together for your ancestors. Date: August 30 - 31, 2025 Timing: 17:30 - 21:00 Location: Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple Website: http://nenbutsuji.jp/ Kamishichiken Beer Garden If you are in Kyoto hoping to spot a geisha or a maiko, the Kamishichiken Beer Garden festival may be for you. The Kamishichiken district in Kyoto opens its Kaburenjo theater to the public in the summer. Beer and Japanese snack sets are available for those looking to spend the evening with a cold beer and chat with a maiko. Pick up a Kaishichiken fan or a senshafuda (good luck charm) if you are looking to keep a souvenir to remember the evening. What better way to while away a summer evening than with drinks, good food, and good company?

There is no dearth of products to see, admire, bargain for, and buy. The Toji temple flea market is one of Kyoto’s largest flea markets and is held to commemorate the attainment of nirvana by Kokusai, lovingly referred to as “Kobo Daishi,” the presiding deity to whom the temple is dedicated. Typically bustling with both locals and expats, the market also lets you catch up with friends over Kyoto specialties like kakigori (shaved ice) and wagashi.

So, don’t be surprised to see school kids rubbing the two bulls at the entrance to the shrine in search of intelligence and better grades. The hustle and bustle of the market adds a whole different vibe to the tranquil grounds of the Tenmangu shrine. Don’t miss the chance to shop for souvenirs for your trip home or try a few Kyoto specialty dishes at the flea market!

With art being considered an indicator of cultural advancement, Japan has historically tried to showcase its art at these Expos (earlier called World Fairs). As early as the 1900 Expo in Paris, Japanese artists like Hokusai, Ohashi Suiseki, and Yokoyama Taikan took on the challenge and exhibited their art. An unmissable retrospective of daring Japanese artists—both contemporary and of yore! Date: July 19, 2025 - September 28, 2025 (closed August 5 and August 26) Timing: 10:00 - 17:00 (last entry 16:30) Location: Fukuda Art Museum and Saga Arashiyama Museum of Arts and Culture Website: https://fukuda-art-museum.jp/en/exhibition/202503081571 Fee: 400 - 2,300 yen Ceramics Exhibition at Kyoto National Museum If you dig pottery and ceramics, you’re in luck. Showcasing porcelainware from all of East Asia with a special focus on Japanese ceramics, this exhibition by the Kyoto National Museum is a must-see to get a perspective on the techniques, materials used, and evolution of East Asian ceramics. The display is mind-blowing for its colors, patterns, and excellence in craftsmanship on display. And if you get there, do try the “Kyo” blend offered exclusively at the Cafe Maeda located within the museum precincts. Date: July 15, 2025 - August 24, 2025 (Closed on Mondays) Timing: 9:30 - 17:00 (9:30 - 20:00 on Fridays) Location: Kyoto National Museum Website: https://www.kyohaku.go.jp/eng/exhibitions/collection/2025/07/?date=15#Theme6219-15 Fee: 300 - 700 yen An Unforgettable August in Kyoto As the summer draws to a close, Kyoto heaves a huge sigh of relief with a last gasp of festivals, fireworks, fairs and markets, and art exhibitions. August is also a good time to try out some summery yukatas or a cool kawadoko (riverside dining) experience. If you want to immerse yourself in the traditional spirit of Kyoto, there’s Gozan no Okuribi and the World Fair art exhibition. On the other hand, if you are feeling nostalgic about home, the flea markets and fairs are great places to hang out with other expats—after all, nothing beats retail therapy to drive the blues away. And when you are out and about, don’t forget to savor some Kyoto special sake and shaved ice at every chance that you get. Happy exploring!

Zen, Waterfalls & Forests: Interview with Jesse from Kyoto by the Sea | Arigato Travel
Just 2 hours from Kyoto and 3 hours from Osaka, you can find the breathtaking northern Kyoto Sea region. This serene area is home to a collection of picturesque cities, including Ayabe, Fukuchiyama, Ine, Kyotango, Maizuru, Miyazu, and Yosano. Kyoto by the Sea helps tourists find authentic Japanese stays, like boathouse Inns, outdoor wellness experiences, and food trails! With a collection of 100 restaurants to indulge in, stunning natural landscapes, and countless heritage arts to explore, it is the perfect guide to a Kyoto stay. Join us as we interview Jesse about all the stunning destinations and attractions these cities have to offer! Hello! Can you please introduce yourself? Hello, and thank you. I’m Jesse, originally from the US. I’ve been at Kyoto by the Sea for ten years now, and for the last six, I have been working as the Overseas Promotion Manager for Kyoto by the Sea DMO (destination management/marketing organization). Kyoto by the Sea is passionate about showcasing the beauty of the seven cities that make up the northern Kyoto area! Could you share the story behind how the company was founded and why this mission is personally meaningful to you? The company was founded to help promote the northern reaches of Kyoto Prefecture, a location even Japanese people aren’t often aware of. The most asked question we get is, “Kyoto has a sea?” We have created a long-term strategy to help the region through tourism, the pillars of which are local culture, local economy, and environment. We build everything with these in mind. Kyoto has so much to offer visitors and has become a popular tourist destination! How does Kyoto by the Sea provide a unique experience that sets it apart from the more traditional attractions in the city? The area is known as The Origin of Japan and is the birthplace of Japanese civilization, as it is home to Japan’s first ancient kingdom. Close to the Asian continent, it has always been a place where cultures converge, and as a result, the people here are adaptive and creative, and have been honing their cooking skills for thousands and thousands of years! Kyoto by the Sea has many food experiences to choose from! What are some of the most popular for first-time Kyoto visitors? This region is home to some of the most outstanding seafood in Japan. Seafood lovers will want to visit in winter for crab or yellowtail. Year-round visitors can try delicacies like barazushi (a lasagna-looking sushi dish) or the unique comfort food, curry yakisoba. The area is also home to one of Japan’s four historic naval bases, where locals found a traditional navel recipe book that restaurants have selected choice recipes from. Heritage Arts are such an important part of Kyoto’s traditions! Could you share some of the unique heritage art experiences visitors can participate in to gain a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural history? The region really shines with heritage arts. We have curated a variety of experiences by welcoming local artisans ranging from a lantern maker, a mother-of-pearl weaver, sword smiths, heritage paper makers, lacquerware artisans, ancient wisteria weaving, kimono silk weaving, and tatami makers. The wellness experiences are an important part of Kyoto by the Sea’s offerings. What inspired you to include these experiences in your travel packages? This region is a mecca of wellness and longevity, home to the world record holder for the World's Oldest Male, and the highest concentration of people over 100 on the planet. We have created a variety of wellness experiences designed to give people a better understanding of how people live here, and ways they can incorporate some aspects of their lifestyles into their own lives. Forest bathing can be another great way to enjoy nature in Kyoto and relax! What are some locations in Kyoto where visitors can enjoy this experience? Japanese shinrinyoku, or forest bathing, is an excellent way to experience nature from a Japanese lens. There are some excellent areas in Kyoto by the Sea, such as a former village that has been all but reclaimed by nature, or an ancient shrine abutted by mountains and enormous trees. But even Kyoto City’s botanical gardens are an excellent way to appreciate nature with Japanese flair. Kyoto by the Sea was awarded the Top 100 Green Destination Award in 2024 - congratulations! What are a few of the most unique parts of this region that truly make it stand out from other areas in Japan? Thank you! Our sustainability approach has been years in development. We work hard to ensure that we are focused on supporting artisans and locally run businesses. We also play a small part in showcasing Japanese artisans with the hope of not only sharing them with guests but preserving the crafts for the future. Kyoto by the Sea has some amazing and unique stays that visitors can book! Could you share more about the options and what makes them such a special experience for visitors? Kyoto by the Sea has a wide variety of unique accommodations that contrast many of the stays in Japan. We offer farm stays, seaside stays, hot spring inns by the sea, luxury accommodations in uniquely renovated merchant houses and boathouses, as well as traditional ryokan. The cuisine is also a big part of why people stay here overnight, as the ingredients here are locally sourced and as fresh as possible. Anything else you would like to share with our readers? Wherever you go in Japan is sure to be an amazing combination of culture, food, and hospitality, but I highly recommend visiting at least one location that’s outside of the cities to get a deeper flavor of what Japan has to offer. Thank you so much for taking the time to be interviewed! We had an amazing time learning about Kyoto by the Sea and cannot wait to visit soon!
