Hop BroThis is about being exhibited at the Great Hokkaido Exhibition, where you can get a taste of Hokkaido in Yokohama. North Island Beer Ebetsu Brewery will be appearing at Yokohama Takashimaya from April 1 to 13, 2026.
MugiWait, Hokkaido in Yokohama!? And it’s North Island Beer coming? That’s honestly so exciting!
Hop BroExactly, it’s the Great Hokkaido Exhibition at Yokohama Takashimaya. This time there won’t be staff on site, just an exhibit, but being able to buy bottled beer is a pretty great perk.
MugiSo by bottled beer, you mean it’s for taking home and drinking, right? Not for grabbing a pint on the spot?
Hop BroThat’s right. Since this is a special event, the focus at the venue is on bottle beer sales. The nice part is being able to open it slowly at home.
MugiOhh! But the article says the labels will also be lined up, right? Being able to buy beers from different breweries across Hokkaido sounds like a treasure hunt!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Since labels from breweries all over Hokkaido are gathered there, you can enjoy it almost like touring breweries across the prefecture. And the flow from Ebetsu’s brewery all the way to Yokohama is pretty romantic too.
MugiSo Ebetsu City is such a beer culture city? Now I really want to go!
Hop BroIt is. North Island Beer has been delivering Hokkaido craft character from its Ebetsu brewery, so this kind of event is also hugely meaningful as a place for people outside Hokkaido to discover it.
MugiAnd since the venue is open from 10:00 to 19:00, it seems easy to stop by while shopping. Getting a little taste of Hokkaido in Yokohama feels like a bonus!
Hop BroOne last thing: the chance to buy Hokkaido beer in Yokohama is rare. I just read the article, but now I already want to open the fridge.
MugiSame! I want to chill a bottle right now! Since we have the chance, let’s pick one at the Hokkaido fair and have a toast at home!
