Night Cherry Blossom Viewing at Jiyugakuen Myonichikan, NAMACHA'n Opens a Limited Draft Keg
Namacha'n Stand Shiina-machi branch is setting up at the "Night Cherry Blossom Viewing" event held at Jiyugakuen Myonichikan. In step with two days of enjoying illuminated cherry blossoms and the architectural space, it will serve draft pours of the collaboration beer "Sakura Smoke Lager." This is a special spring-night project that stands apart from a typical beer event.
Hop BroThis is the night cherry blossom project that Namacha'n Stand Shiina-machi branch is doing at Jiyugakuen Myonichikan. A night to slowly savor the cherry blossoms and the architecture feels really stylish, doesn't it?
MugiWhat! They're serving beer even though it's not a beer event!? That's so chic I can't keep up!
Hop BroThey're pouring the collaboration Sakura Smoke Lager. It's a pint with a flavor story and even the backstory tastes good, brewed by smoking malt with cherry tree wood from Jiyugakuen's cherry blossoms.
MugiWait, what do you mean they smoked the malt!? Are they burning the barley for beer? It feels like something is going down in the kitchen!
Hop BroTo put it simply, they smoke the malt with cherry blossom aroma, layering in toasty notes and a gentle smokiness. So the lager's clean finish gets a spring-like aftertaste.
MugiWhoa! Hearing that the pre-sale cans were popular makes me want to drink it even more. Popular in cans, flagship in keg—that's a strong lineup, isn't it?
Hop BroAnd the draft pour is a rare offering. It's nice that you can enjoy it on Friday, March 27 and Sunday, March 29 from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. for an admission fee of 500 yen.
MugiWhat, drinking at Jiyugakuen Myonichikan!? Beer in an Important Cultural Property somehow makes you straighten your back, even as it loosens your throat!
Hop BroExactly. There's also a night cherry blossom live concert in the auditorium, so you can take in cherry blossoms, architecture, and music all together. Snacks are cash-on at the venue shop too, so it's easy to move around.
MugiWow, that's the best, totally giving off that 'brewpub rooted in the neighborhood' vibe! Lager tasted on a night like that has to be amazing. I want a drink while looking at the cherry blossoms right now!
Hop BroRight? Just hearing 'special spring-night project' gets me. This is one of those times when you look at the cherry blossoms, listen to the music, and finish it off with a sip.
MugiIt's decided! I want to toast with the draft and get lost in the cherry blossoms at night!
Tokyo's Shiina-machi brewpub Namacha'n Stand Shiina-machi branch is joining a night cherry blossom project at Jiyugakuen Myonichikan, an Important Cultural Property in Toshima Ward. In its post, it describes the event not as a "beer event" but as a night to slowly enjoy the building and the cherry blossoms.
At the venue, the collaboration beer "Sakura Smoke Lager" from the shop and Jiyugakuen will be opened on draft. According to the story, the malt is smoked with cherry tree wood from a cherry tree over 70 years old at Jiyugakuen, making it an impressive pint whose background is as memorable as the flavor. Because the pre-sale cans were well received, the chance to drink it on draft is described as a "rare offering" with limited availability.
The event details are as follows.
- Dates: Friday, March 27 and Sunday, March 29
- Time: 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (last admission and last order at 8:30 p.m.)
- Venue: Jiyugakuen Myonichikan (entire facility)
- Admission: 500 yen
- Service: Beer and snacks are cash-on at the venue shop
In addition, the auditorium will host a night cherry blossom live performance by yangqin player Zhang Lin, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. (about 30 minutes each). It is a program that lets visitors enjoy cherry blossoms, architecture, and music all at once, not just drinks.
The key point here is being able to taste Namacha'n Stand's beer in a location different from the usual taproom experience. It is a two-day chance to feel the Shiina-machi branch's identity as a "brewpub rooted in the neighborhood" within a local cultural event.
