Background
Himitsu Beer was launched in 2022 by Keita Yabuki and his classmate, brewer Motoki Sasaki. Located in Futami-cho, Ise City, which once prospered as a place for visitors to Ise Jingu to stay, they brew beer, mainly farmhouse ale, in a renovated agricultural barn used by their grandparents.
Using ingredients such as home-grown herbs, grains, and fruits, they create beers with a wide variety of flavors based on a “Farm to Table” philosophy. The name was chosen with the aim of creating a delicious beer that others would want to keep as a “secret.”
