We are beyond excited to unveil our newest creation, brewed in special collaboration with Tomoyuki Yoshida, brewer and owner of Wakayama Brewery! Meet Umami Dashi—a robust, deeply complex smoked porter brewed with authentic, earthy Shiitake mushrooms sourced directly from Wakayama, Japan. The result is a rich, savory and perfectly smoky dark beer that lives up to its name and balances dark malt sweetness with an incredible earthy depth.

Located in the heart of Japan’s agriculturally and culturally rich Kansai region, Wakayama Brewery is celebrated for its deep respect for local land and climate. They expertly blend traditional Japanese brewing philosophies with innovative craft techniques to create distinct, memorable flavor profiles. By championing regional ingredients—from local botanicals to savory mushrooms—they consistently bring the unique taste of Wakayama to the world craft beer stage.

We’ll be celebrating the tapping of this culinary craft delight in both taprooms. Umami Dashi will officially tap in both locations at 12:00pm on Friday. In Skokie, we’ll have Yellow Duck Truck starting at 4:00 and a set from DJ Van Paugam starting at 8:00pm.
