Yobuko Asaichi-dori - Old and now-

Craft beer brewery full of history and thought

The Whale Brewing Yobuko Craft Brewery opened on Yobuko Asaichi Street by the famous restaurant "Kawataro" known for its "live squid".
Born in December 2023 by renovating an 80-year-old old private house, this brewery is attracting attention as a new landmark in the town. Yobuko is a port town where history, nature, and food culture live. The name implies the history of Yobuko, which once flourished in whaling, and the desire to regain the bustle of the town again.

Format provided: Draft (draft beer), bottled beer (with take-out and mail order)

At the "Japan Great Beer Hours" held in 2025, all three brands exhibited were awarded the Silver Prize.

Jinroku Fruit Store, a shaved ice specialty store that delivers the charm of local fruits, opens

Yoko-cho, Saga Prefecture, a port town where the whaling culture of the Edo period still lives.
On the morning market street, which is the symbol of this, the shaved ice specialty store "Jinroku Fruit Store" with locally produced fruits opened on May 23, 2025.

We use plenty of seasonal fruits harvested in the Karatsu, Yobuko, and Genkaicho areas to provide original shaved ice that values the original taste of the fruit. While taking advantage of the sweetness, aroma and acidity of the ingredients, the syrup and toppings made in the store are beautiful in appearance and are finished in a dish that stimulates the five senses. As a base for transmitting the charm of local ingredients, and as a new stopover spot perfect for summer Yobuko sightseeing, it is one of the highlights. The shaved ice menu changes every season, so it is attractive that you can enjoy the seasonal taste luxuriously throughout the year.
