As a final memory of summer vacation, I came to the Kamado Brewery Taproom.

I wasn’t originally planning to come, but got a last-minute message the night before asking to meet up in Nagoya (名古屋). Since I had time before meeting them, I stopped by.

What I had this time was the single-hop IPA SMaSH, the signature Pale Ale, and the Hazy TIPA recommended by Mr. Niwa himself.

I was thinking I shouldn’t have the TIPA since I was meeting someone afterward. Even hearing it was released that day, I thought I should probably pass. But when Mr. Niwa himself recommends it, you just have to drink it, right?

🍺 Recommended Beers

Kamado Brewery is helmed by Satoshi Niwa, a legend of the Japanese craft beer scene. It’s a brewery where solid technique born from years of experience coexists with the challenge of exploring new styles.

SMaSH IPA (Single Malt, Single Hop)

A simple yet profound IPA brewed with just one type of malt and one type of hop. This style lets hop character shine through directly, showing a different expression each time depending on the hop variety used. Its simplicity demands true brewing skill — a quintessential Niwa creation.

Pale Ale (Signature)

Kamado Brewery’s signature Pale Ale. The balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness is exquisite, with a reliable finish that makes you want glass after glass. Approachable for craft beer beginners while still satisfying dedicated beer lovers — its completeness truly shines.

Hazy TIPA (Triple IPA)

A higher-ABV Triple IPA that Mr. Niwa confidently recommends. It features rich tropical fruit aromas and a smooth drinkability that belies its alcohol content. Often only available on release days, so checking social media for updates is essential.

Satoshi Niwa is a brewer who has been active since the dawn of Japanese craft beer, with a legendary track record including Shiga Kogen Beer! Kamado Brewery can be considered the culmination of his life’s work!
