The Hunt for Microbreweries in Kanagawa Prefecture’s Zushi City!

The left side of the shop contains the brewery and bar (“michi-kusa” Tap Room), and the right side contains the bakery, where they sell fresh-made bread and cakes.

The sign outside of Beach Muffin advertise Yorocco beer in large print, and the inside of the store is a refurbished old Japanese home. The shop has a very chic atmosphere!

Beach Muffin serves Yorocco beer, brewed locally in Zushi City. Its brewery opened in 2012. Beer availabilities vary, but this time around I tried (from right to left) pale ale, IPA, and Mikan Blanche. One glass is 800 yen (tax included).

This is a porter, dry with a rich flavor.

I recommend the Mikan Blanche. This beer is flavored with mikan (mandarin oranges). This refreshing beer ended with the powerful fragrance of mikan, and it was really delicious.

Of course, Beach Muffin offers sides and dishes that complement the beers too!

The muffins and brownies for sale on the right side of the shop were also exquisite. You can eat in the store or take them to go. They make great gifts!

Beach Muffin also sells local vegetables! As to be expected from a local microbrewery.

When you go sightseeing around Kamakura, be sure to take the chance to try out Zushi’s craft beers!
