Yorocco Beer is a craft beer brewery located in Zushi, Kanagawa prefecture that opened in September 2012. The owner and head brewer, Kichise-san started out owning a bar in Enoshima for almost a decade before moving into the brewing business. Yorocco Beer originally started out serving beer to local restaurants and bars in the area and Beach Muffin in Zushi became the de facto taproom for their beers. Unlike many breweries in Japan, Kichise-san employs secondary fermentation to induce carbonation into their beers. While predominantly a draft production brewery, in 2016 they started offering a monthly supply of bottled beers.
