Gold of Tokachi: The RIKKA Farm-to-Glass Barley & Craft Beer Journey
The 2-Hectare Legacy: Bottling the Seasons and Stories of Urahoro
Discover RIKKA’s inspiring "farm-to-glass" journey—a story of passion and perseverance that grew from absolute zero into a thriving 2-hectare organic barley field. Guests visiting in spring or autumn will have the exclusive opportunity to step into the fields to join our farmers in seasonal traditions like sowing, traditional barley treading (Mugifumi), or gathering the golden harvest.
Behind the Scenes: From Organic Malts to Fresh Sips
Step inside RIKKA’s artisanal brewery for an exclusive look at how their 100% organic beer comes to life. This hands-on journey offers a rare chance to touch, taste, and smell the raw barley and roasted malts, filling your senses with the rich, toasted aromas of the brewhouse.
A premium "Tank Tasting" where you can savor exceptionally fresh beer poured directly from the conditioning tanks※—a pure, unfiltered privilege usually reserved only for the brewer.
※ Note: If the beer is still in its active fermentation stage during your tour, premium bottled craft beer will be served for the tasting instead.
Special offer: 1-Day Brewing Masterclass
Visiting during the off-season? The magic never stops. Our signature 1-Day Brewing Masterclass is open year-round! Guided step-by-step by the passionate brewers, you will get your hands dirty mashing, stirring, and transferring the brew. After a month of professional fermentation and aging, your custom-crafted beer will be shipped straight to your doorstep—allowing you to pop open a bottle of liquid memories and relive your special Urahoro journey long after you've returned home.
