Omi Beer to join a summer festival at Omotesando Minagawa Village on Aug. 29
Omi Beer, based in Otsu, Shiga, will take part in the “Natsumatsuri” summer event at Minagawa Village in Omotesando on August 29. Visitors can try an early draft pour of “Yukiyo no Natsumikan,” the brewery’s next monthly beer.
Hop BroThere’s a festival pour worth watching. Omi Bakushu is coming to Minagawa Village in Omotesando on August 29, and they’re giving an early first pour of "Yukiyo no Natsumikan."
MugiWait, a brewery from Shiga in Omotesando? And that beer name, that is a lot to process in one breath!
Hop BroThat’s part of the charm. It’s Omi Bakushu’s upcoming beer of the month, basically a seasonal citrus beer built around summer mikan.
MugiSo the beer of next month shows up this month? Beer just beat the calendar and I have to respect that.
Hop BroExactly. Even better, the fruit comes from Yukiyo, who’s from Shiga but grew the natsumikan in Setagaya, so it’s grown in Tokyo, brewed in Shiga.
MugiNo way, the fruit goes from Tokyo to Shiga, becomes beer, then comes back to Tokyo? That’s the cutest citrus commute I’ve ever heard of.
Hop BroRight, and that’s what people mean by ingredient story. It just means where it grew and how it was brewed becomes part of the experience.
MugiOkay, that suddenly makes sense. So when you drink it, you’re not just tasting beer, you’re drinking the backstory too.
Hop BroExactly. Plus the event runs from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. on August 29, and it’s only three minutes from Omotesando Station, which is dangerously easy to stop by.
MugiThat is absolutely not a harmless stop. One quick visit turns into serious drinking, and now I’m ready to sprint to Omotesando just imagining that citrus aroma.
Hop BroA local Shiga brewery meeting a Tokyo summer festival is just a good story on its own. This feels like a beer meant to be had on draft.
MugiThen it’s settled. If we spot "Yukiyo no Natsumikan" at Minagawa Village on August 29, we toast immediately. My thirst is officially tapped!
Omi Beer, a brewery in Otsu, Shiga, will set up at the “Natsumatsuri” summer event held at Minagawa Village in Omotesando, Tokyo, on Saturday, August 29, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The venue is a short walk from Omotesando Station, making it an easy stop for beer fans in the city.
The featured beer is “Yukiyo no Natsumikan,” introduced as the next month’s installment in the brewery’s ongoing “beer of the month” series. According to the post, it will be opened early and served as draft beer. The beer was made by sending summer oranges grown in Tokyo’s Setagaya by Yukiyo, originally from Shiga, back to Shiga, where Omi Beer turned them into a craft beer.
The festival itself is also organized by Yukiyo and her group, which gives the release a full-circle feel: fruit grown in Tokyo, brewed in Shiga, and then brought back to Tokyo. For drinkers, it is a straightforward event listing, but also a neatly connected story between place, ingredient, and brewery.
