Y Market Brewing is a craft beer brewery located in Nagoya, in Aichi, Japan. Opened in 2014, Y Market Brewing is owned by the same company that owns Sakaya Okadaya in the heart of the Yanagibashi Market in Nagoya. The building encompasses both the brewery on the first floor, and the brewpub on the second. The current head brewer, Kachi-san, used to work at the now defunct Kisoji Beer, where he found himself thrust into the limelight as head brewer when the previous one left. While initially catering for their own bar and other bars across Japan, Y Market Brewing have also started to bottle some of their beers as well.
