Hop BroBig news! Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa is holding a "Cheese & Beer Taste-Testing Event" on Sunday, March 15 from 12:30 to 13:30.
MugiWhoa! A one-hour Sunday lunch event already sounds like a guaranteed win!
Hop BroAnd it’s a collaboration with Erwan Kenach of Le Comptoir de France, with a serious tasting of 5 artisan cheeses x 5 Sakamichi beers.
MugiWhat?! Artisan means like handcrafted, right? And is “pairing” just eating them together?
Hop BroGood question. Artisan means cheese that shows the maker’s personality. Pairing isn’t just about adding flavors together; it’s an experience where complement and contrast let you feel aroma and richness in a more layered way.
MugiOhhh! Sounds fun, like a science experiment! Do they say what beers or styles they’re using?
Hop BroThe beer names weren’t announced yet. But they did say they’ll use five Sakamichi beers, so it sounds like a lineup of different styles where you can learn about their interactions through tasting comparisons.
MugiWhoa, that’s the kind of event where you have to save the excitement for the day! Where is it, and how much is it?
Hop BroThe venue is Sakamichi North, and the participation fee is 5,000 yen. Applications and advance payment are accepted at both Sakamichi locations, and if it’s hard to register in person by Sunday, they’ll also handle it via Instagram DM.
MugiIf it says seating is limited, then if you wait too long the cheese might become a myth...
Hop BroExactly. It’s a food-and-craft event that fits Sakamichi perfectly, since they brew in West Tokyo and value local ingredients.
MugiIt’s decided! I want to drink, learn, and grin over artisan cheese and Sakamichi beer! Hop, let’s do a practice toast!
On March 10, 2026, Sakamichi Brewing announced on Instagram that it will host a cheese pairing event. The event will take place on Sunday, March 15 from 12:30 to 13:30. The venue is Sakamichi North, and the participation fee is 5,000 yen.
This project is a collaboration with Le Comptoir de France and Erwan Kenach, who imports artisan cheeses from around the world. The event will feature a tasting that pairs 5 carefully selected artisan cheeses with 5 Sakamichi beers, creating a format designed to let participants experience how cheese and beer interact.
The post presents it as an opportunity to "deeply learn" the appeal of high-quality cheese and beer. It is being promoted as an event where participants can discover not only how the flavors enhance each other, but also the appeal of pairings that involve complement and contrast.
Applications and advance payment are accepted not only at the event venue, Sakamichi North, but at both Sakamichi locations. Seating is limited, so early registration before capacity is reached is recommended. The announcement also noted that if in-store registration is difficult by Sunday, inquiries can be handled via Instagram DM.
On its official website, Sakamichi Brewing highlights "brewing in West Tokyo," "craft that values process," and "the use of local organic ingredients," and operates two locations in Tachikawa: Taproom and North. This event appears to be a very Sakamichi-style initiative that expands connections through food, reflecting a brewery rooted in the local community and dedicated to fostering beer culture.
