Romantic Village Craft Brewery Tour

A close look at the brewing process for craft beer made with Utsunomiya malt

This brewery opened in 1996 in Michi-no-Eki Utsunomiya Romantic Village, a park housing restaurants, farm stores, farming experiences, accommodations, and a hot spring on a site as large as 10 Tokyo Domes. Tochigi Prefecture is the leading production area for two-row barley in Japan; the brewery has continued to make beer mainly with a variety of barley called New Sachiho Golden that is grown in Utsunomiya. The brewery has a full lineup of beers including staple original beers, the Mugitaro brand, and Gyoza Roman, a beer that pairs well with gyoza (Japanese potstickers) and was developed in partnership with the Utsunomiya Gyoza Association.
