Aichi’s Totopia Brewing is headed to Singapore for Japan HopFest 2026! Known for their ”Phobia“ series and psychedelic labels, they’ve become one of Japan’s most sought-after craft names in record time.

Before founding Totopia in 2022, Junya Morita was a champion of the local scene. He famously created the Nagoya Craft Beer Map, a guide dedicated to highlighting the hidden gems of his home prefecture.
Driven by a dream to put Aichi on the global map, Morita transitioned from chronicling the culture to defining it. He founded Totopia in Nagakute City with a singular goal: to create unprecedented beer experiences that could compete with the world‘s best breweries while paying tribute to his roots.

✨ What to Expect at Totopia’s Booth:
• Expect thick, juice-forward Hazy IPAs and complex Fruited Sours that push technical boundaries.
• Every pour is a balance of Morita’s passion for local community and his ”global-scale“ ambition.

📍 Event Details
• Dates: March 27 – March 29, 2026

Meet Yuta Hamada (), the founder of .beer. While still a student, Yuta returned to his hometown of Yosano, Kyoto, with a bold vision: to revitalize his community through the power of locally grown hops. 🌿

In Japanese, Asobi means “play.” Yuta believes that life’s best ideas happen when we’re having fun. By using fresh Yosano hops, he’s turned a regional crop into a vibrant bridge connecting Kyoto’s farmers to craft beer lovers everywhere.

To Yuta, Asobi is more than just a beer—it’s about creating a “playground” for adults to challenge the status quo and co-create a better future for rural Japan. 🇯🇵✨

Taste the playfulness at Japan HopFest! Experience the citrusy, “green” aroma of Kyoto-grown hops and meet the team redefining regional craft.

🍻 See you at the ASOBI booth!
