GOHOBI SATONISHIKI IPA is Made Possible Through Upcycling
Crafted with the highest quality fully ripe SATONISHIKI cherries, this premium luxury beer is in a class of its own compared to traditional fruit beers.
It is recommended to enjoy “GOHOBI SATONISHIKI IPA” in a champagne glass.
Utilizing Every Part, Including Stems and Seeds
In addition to the browning-prevention puree developed independently, the fully ripe SATONISHIKI cherries are used in their entirety, including the pulp, stems, and seeds. This labor-intensive process is made possible by the entirely handmade brewing method at Yonezawa Jacks Brewery, preserving the rich flavor of the fully ripe SATONISHIKI cherries in the wort.
The wort is created by adding malt and fully ripe SATONISHIKI cherries to a cauldron and carefully hand-mashing for saccharification.

Three-Way Upcycling Benefit
Cherry farmers have faced numerous challenges, including aging populations, lack of successors, shortage of new farmers, abandonment, and large amounts of waste. “GOHOBI SATONISHIKI IPA” is a craft beer created to address these issues while benefiting farmers, sellers, and consumers.
Since 2019, our company has been purchasing fully ripe SATONISHIKI cherries from nearby farms. These cherries, which would otherwise be discarded, become an income source for farmers and contribute to reducing large-scale waste (food loss).
A Unique Flavor Unknown to Others
Many craft beers have been made with SATONISHIKI cherries, but “GOHOBI SATONISHIKI IPA” uses cherries ripened on the tree to their fullest, uniquely frozen at peak ripeness and crafted with a proprietary browning-prevention method (patent pending) to create a luxurious puree.
Picked before full ripeness for freshness at home, SATONISHIKI cherries can only be enjoyed in their 100% ripe state at the farm.
