The "Best Pairing" Chosen by Both Companies' Staff
Pairing means enjoying how well a drink and a dish go together. When a beer's flavor and a food's taste bring out the best in each other, every sip reveals something new. Here is one example of the "best pairing" chosen by staff from both companies.
For a Fun Table Everyone Can Enjoy Together: A Pairing with a Crisp, Refreshing Aroma That Brings Out the Best in the Food

Karuizawa Kogen Beer 2026 Limited Edition — ¥359 (tax included) [In-store only]
This "year-limited" beer offers a different flavor each year. This year's version pairs herbal and woody aromas reminiscent of Nagano's forests with a crisp finish and restrained bitterness that complements food.
Kuzefuku Shoten Snacks That Pair Well with "Karuizawa Kogen Beer 2026 Limited Edition"…
Aomori Ringokkuru — ¥570 (tax included)
The sweet-tart flavor of apple is a perfect match for the beer's herbal notes, and the crisp, crunchy texture makes it hard to stop eating.
Iburigakko Tartar — ¥670 (tax included)
The rich, smoky aroma and crunchy texture bring out the beer's full aroma and lingering finish even more.
