Distinctive Beers at a Restaurant with Strong Local Ties

"Yokosuka Beer" is a beer restaurant serving craft beer brewed in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, alongside dishes that pair well with beer. The menu also includes local specialties such as "Yokosuka Kaigun Curry" and "Yokosuka Navy Burger."

Craft Beer Made with Ingredients from the Miura Peninsula

"Yokosuka Beer" opened in 2017 as the first craft brewery in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. The first floor houses a British-style brewery that produces beers, including one that won the top award in its category at the "World Beer Awards 2026," an international competition featuring beers from around the world. The idea for the business came from a flash of inspiration by the company president. He worried that if adults went through life with their heads down, the future might look bleak for children as well. Yet he believed that even in such times, drinking beer could give adults a moment to lift their heads. Dedicated to sharing the appeal of the Miura Peninsula, the company has embraced local production for local consumption, creating craft beer that is now widely recognized as a specialty of the peninsula. The second-floor restaurant serves craft beer brewed downstairs alongside dishes made with ingredients from the Miura Peninsula.

The limited-time beers change periodically, so part of the fun is discovering which ones are available. Staff also explain the flavor profiles of the different beers. All five are brewed on the first floor, allowing diners to enjoy the fresh flavors that are a hallmark of "Yokosuka Beer."

  • Beer Brewed at the First-Floor Brewery

    Ingredients from Yokosuka and the Miura Peninsula, together with the dedication of local producers, are transformed into craft beer at the first-floor brewery. After fermentation and maturation in tanks, the finished beer is served directly in the second-floor restaurant. The locally brewed craft beer pairs especially well with dishes made from local ingredients.

  • A Variety of Limited-Time Beers Made with Local Specialties

    The limited-time beers feature a range of flavors made with local specialties. These include "Rich Tomato Beer," made with tomatoes harvested in fields in western Yokosuka; "BLUE SMaSH (Blue Smash)," with a vivid blue appearance, pronounced bitterness, and aroma; and "Daikon Beer," made with daikon radishes grown by farmers on the Miura Peninsula. Each showcases ingredients from the local area.

"Yokosuka Navy Burger"

The local favorite "Yokosuka Navy Burger" also pairs especially well with beer. Created in 2009 as a symbol of friendship between Yokosuka and the U.S. naval facility in the city, it is based on a traditional recipe provided by the Navy. Its defining feature is a simply grilled 100% beef patty weighing at least 170g, made without binders to highlight the natural flavor of the meat. Fresh onions and tomatoes from Yokosuka and the Miura Peninsula are added as toppings, with ketchup and mustard served to taste. Simple yet full of character, it is an American-style burger built around the hearty flavor of the beef itself.

Must-try signature dish

  • "YOKOSUKA Red Brick"

    This beer made its debut at the international "World Beer Awards 2026" and won "World's Best Bitter Over 5.5%," the top award in its category. Classified as a traditional British ale, it has a rich flavor that balances the sweetness of malt with the floral aroma and bitterness of hops.

  • "Drinkable Roast Beef"

    Thinly sliced roast beef is topped generously with cheese, with mashed potatoes tucked inside. Every element pairs especially well with beer, as the dish was developed specifically with beer in mind. Its substantial portion also makes it well suited for sharing among several people.

From the Tabiiro Editorial Team

The appeal goes beyond the beer itself: by using local ingredients, the brewery showcases the character of Yokosuka through its craft beer. The food also makes generous use of local ingredients, and the restaurant's commitment to the area is one that deserves wider recognition across Japan. Its craft beer, shaped by the bounty of the region, makes this a destination well worth seeking out.
