Hop BroOkazaki has a great reason to stroll and sip: Okazaki Beer’s pop-up sale runs from September 19 to 21.
MugiWhat, three whole days? Tell me about the different venue each day before I get lost!
Hop BroOn the 19th it’s at Deai no Mori Park, about two minutes from JR Okazaki Station; the 20th and 21st move to Sakurajobashi. Every day runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
MugiFrom lunch through evening? A beer break during sightseeing just made my schedule sparkle!
Hop BroAnd Okazaki Beer is special: it began brewing in-house in 2023 as Okazaki’s first craft brewery.
MugiNice! Does it taste local too? What makes it so distinctly Okazaki?
Hop BroThey use local Mineasahi rice and hatcho miso. The standout is a hatcho miso dark beer, pairing roasted-malt richness with the deep savoriness of miso.
MugiRoasted malt? What is that? Is it basically beer made from toasted grain—and is it burnt?!
Hop BroNot burnt—malt is carefully roasted to develop aroma and color. Think coffee-like toastiness; it creates the dark beer’s deep color.
MugiAhh, then hatcho-miso beef tendon stew with it would be a traffic jam of richness!
Hop BroExactly. Gyoza, Mikawa sausage, and long fries are planned too, so you can enjoy finding perfect food pairings with each beer.
MugiI love that one glass can introduce Okazaki’s food culture. I want to visit Okazaki this Silver Week with an empty stomach!
Hop BroAt Deai no Mori Park or Sakurajobashi, grab a local-inspired beer and a snack for a toast. It’s a weekend made for drinking in Okazaki!
MugiDone! I’ll start with the hatcho-miso dark beer, then gyoza and sausage... toast practice starts now!
