Izushi Shiroyama Garden

Shiroyama Garden can be found in an old but historic silk factory at the base of the Izushi Castle Ruins.

Izushi’s original beers, also known as “Izushi Roman” beers, are made from local natural ingredients.

In addition to being in a place where you can taste their original beer, you can also partake some of Izushi’s famous soba, the area’s brand name Tajima beef, and other delicious dishes at the restaurant.

Izushi Roman beer is a top-fermented beer made from blending malt and buckwheat flour.

The yeast found in Izushi Roman beer does not undergo filtration or heat sterilization, which is why you may find a settlement of yeast at the bottom of the bottle.

Izushi’s own buckwheat is blended with the yeast, giving the beer a subtle seasoning that brings out the beer’s original flavor.

One of Izushi’s hoppiest beers that has characteristic bitterness and citrus aromas. This beer uses a bottom fermentation style. With a lower alcohol content it is easy to drink for a session style.

Izushi Roman Blueberry

A special seasonal beer available from around May to September. Each batch contains handpicked blueberries grown at a nearby blueberry patch in Izushi where no chemicals are used when growing the blueberries. This beer has a slight bitter edge to its fruity taste.

Izushi Weizen
5.0% abv

A gold-colored beer with a classic bitter flavor that is light and refreshing. The light malt and slightly fruity flavor make it easy drinking.

At the restaurant you can find a menu filled with healthy ingredients like germinated barley, soba (buckwheat) noodles, mung bean, black rice and more all with an abundance of minerals, vitamins, calcium, etc.

Although much of the menu revolves around the town’s famous Izushi Sara Soba, they do offer a separate menu for people with allergies to buckwheat.

Dishes are based on the seasons and use mainly locally grown produce. The rice served is 100% locally produced Izushi Koshihikari.
