Yokai, the mystical creatures of Japanese folklore, each possess unique characteristics and fascinating traits. These entities, ranging from human-like apparitions to ghostly beings with animal features, can be either harmless tricksters or fearsome threats.
At Kaigan Brewery, we have drawn inspiration from these enchanting beings for our regular serie of beers, selecting yokai that embody the spirirt of our local coast, the sea and a touch of playful mischief.
