Kamihei Shuzo to Hold a Tasting and Sales Event in the Basement of Morioka's Kawatoku on April 18
Kamihei Shuzo of Tono City, Iwate Prefecture, will hold a tasting and sales event at the liquor section in the basement of Parq Avenue Kawatoku in Saien, Morioka City, on April 18, 2026. In addition to sake, liqueurs, and seasonal limited items, craft beer will also be available for tasting.
Hop BroMugi-chan, there's an interesting event happening on April 18. Kamihei Shuzo from Tono City, Iwate Prefecture, is holding a tasting and sales event in the basement of Kawatoku in Morioka.
MugiWait, you can taste things in the department store basement!? A basement liquor section is exactly the kind of place that pulls you in while you're out shopping!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is the liquor section in the basement of Parq Avenue Kawatoku. And since it's from 10:00 to 16:00, you can drop by casually even before noon and still enjoy it.
MugiHuh. But Kamihei Shuzo gives me a strong sake image. The fact that they also offer craft beer is kind of unexpected!
Hop BroThat's what's great about it. In this announcement, you can also taste premium sake, and the lineup goes beyond just sake to include liqueurs and seasonal limited items. It's an event that shows the full range of their brewing.
MugiWait, bottle-conditioned sake? That sounds like some super intense spell!
Hop BroGood question. In simple terms, it's sake that's allowed to ferment further in the bottle, creating a natural carbonation and a more complex flavor. For people who like a sparkling feel in beer, this one really hits the spot.
MugiSo the bubbles are born inside the bottle!? Then that's what you'd call a slightly luxurious fizz.
Hop BroAnd the inclusion of #ズモナビール in the hashtags is the key point. If you follow Kamihei Shuzo's beer, this is a chance to check both the standard lineup and the seasonal offerings all at once.
MugiThat's unfair in the best way in Morioka. I can already tell my wallet is going to get lighter starting with the tasting and then the shopping!
Hop BroI know the feeling. It's rare to get a chance to see a Tono brewery showing both sake and beer at once, and by the end you'll probably want one more drink.
MugiThen it's decided! On April 18, let's head to the basement of Kawatoku, taste first and have a drink, and then set ourselves up to want to drink at home too!
