Settaya Craft
Settaya Craft
Craft beer brewed by Yoshinogawa, a sake brewery founded in 1548.
Yoshinogawa's hometown of Settaya, Nagaoka, is a "brewing town" where breweries of sake, miso and soy sauce gather.
The craft beer that bears its name is brewed inside Yoshinogawa's SAKE Museum Joh-Gura.
Craft beer brewed by a sake brewery.
Settaya Craft is a craft beer (happoshu) brewed by Yoshinogawa, a sake brewery founded in 1548. Making the most of what makes a sake brewery unique, we use rice koji as an adjunct and brew carefully with Tenka Kanrosen, the same water we use for our sake. Drawing on techniques honed in sake brewing, it offers a soft mouthfeel and a clean, refreshing finish—a craft beer that lets you taste the character of this land. Each batch is brewed with care at the brewery inside Joh-Gura.
Three Commitments That
Make It Yoshinogawa
-
Fresh Beer Yeast
from Our Group CompanyWe use rice koji—also used in Yoshinogawa sake—as an adjunct. For fermentation, we use beer yeast from our group company Chuetsu Kobo Kogyo Co., Ltd., which has long cultivated fermentation technology for bread and beer. Being able to brew with consistently fresh yeast is one of the distinctive features of Settaya Craft.
-
Brewed with the Same Water as Our Sake
Like Yoshinogawa sake, our beer is brewed with Tenka Kanrosen, soft water drawn from our grounds. Enjoy the gentle umami of rice koji and the clean taste that only sake-brewing water can give.
-
Brewed at the SAKE Museum Joh-Gura
Settaya Craft is brewed at the brewery at the back of Joh-Gura. Depending on the season, you can watch the brewing through the glass. The name comes from Settaya, Nagaoka—Yoshinogawa's hometown. Enjoy it at the SAKE Bar in the museum and buy it at the shop.
