Harvestmoon Brewery

Harvestmoon Brewery (舞浜地ビール工房ハーヴェスト・ムーン, Maihama Ji-Beer Kobo Harvest Moon) is a Japanese craft brewery located in Maihama, Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture, within the Ikspiari shopping complex at Tokyo Disney Resort. It is operated by Ikspiari Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Oriental Land Co., Ltd., the company that also owns and operates Tokyo Disney Resort. The brewery produces the Harvest Moon brand of beers, which are brewed on-site and served at the Roti's House restaurant inside Ikspiari, as well as at select restaurants in Tokyo DisneySea and Disney Hotels. Bottled versions are also sold at Roti's House and at convenience stores in partner hotels of Tokyo Disney Resort. The brewery's origins trace back to 1996, when the development of Ikspiari included plans for a craft beer restaurant. Employees of Oriental Land were solicited to volunteer for the project. After the establishment of Ikspiari Co., Ltd. on March 4, 1999, brewing began in July 2000. The brewery is notable for its unusually long four-year preparation period before brewing commenced. On March 28, 2003, Ikspiari Co., Ltd. obtained a permanent license for beer and happoshu production. Harvest Moon produces five regular beers year-round: Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Schwarzbier, Pilsner, and Belgian-style Wheat. It also offers seasonal and limited-edition beers such as Barley Wine, Yuzu Ale, and Akimugi. The brewery has won numerous awards at competitions including the Japan Asia Beer Cup, International Beer Competition, and The International Brewing Awards. In 2015, its Pilsner won a Gold Award and its Schwarzbier won a Bronze Award at the Asia Beer Cup. More recently, at the International Beer Cup 2025, the brewery won three gold awards and a total of six medals, with its Pilsner being named Category Champion for the first time. In 2026, it received two bronze awards at the Korean International Beer Award 2026 and seven medals at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2026. The brewery employs skilled brewers, including some who hold the Master Beer Judge certification, a top-level qualification held by only a few people in Japan. As part of the Oriental Land Group, Harvestmoon Brewery contributes to the group's food and beverage operations within Tokyo Disney Resort. Its beers are a popular attraction for visitors seeking local craft beer within the resort. The brewery's website is hosted on the Ikspiari corporate site.
