Hokkaishoji to host summer event "Hokkai Day" on July 12 with OGA BREWING beer sales
Hokkaishoji will hold its summer event “Hokkai Day” on Sunday, July 12, at its office frontage and parking area in Shimorenjaku, Mitaka. The program combines children’s craft sessions with an adults’ beer corner featuring OGA BREWING, a local brewery from the same neighborhood.
Hop BroMugi, the Hokkai Day event on July 12 looks solid. Hokkai Shoji is turning its office front and parking area into a summer setup with crafts for kids and craft beer for adults.
MugiWait, crafts and beer in the same event? That is family programming with a very suspiciously happy adult section!
Hop BroAnd the beer side is handled by OGA BREWING. They are a brewery based in Mitaka, and they are joining with pop-up sales.
MugiWhat does pop-up sales even mean here? I am picturing beer showing up with a briefcase.
Hop BroNot quite. It just means the brewery comes out and sells on site. You can buy a pour and drink right there in the parking area, and snacks are allowed too.
MugiNice. But the article makes it sound like beer names and styles are still under wraps, right? That is dangerous suspense.
Hop BroYeah, the lineup seems like a day-of surprise. But OGA talks about a new standard for craft beer, meaning something approachable enough for first-timers, and they even have a taproom.
MugiHold on, taproom sounds technical. Is that a beer lab, a lounge, or a wizard room?
Hop BroClosest answer is a brewery drinking space. At OGA you can look at the tanks while you drink, so the brewing atmosphere is part of the experience.
MugiOhhh. And the craft sessions are at 1 and 3 p.m., around six people each, with free participation? That is actually very kind to families.
Hop BroExactly. It runs from noon to 5 p.m., and updates go on Instagram and the website if weather changes. Talking about it already gives me thirsty bartender energy.
MugiSame. Kids do crafts, adults do cheers, everybody wins. On July 12 I suddenly want a pint from OGA very badly.
Hokkaishoji’s “Hokkai Day” is a community event that pairs a children’s craft activity with craft beer sales for adults. The event will run from 12:00 to 17:00 at the company’s office and parking space.
Crafts for kids
The craft corner will be held inside the office in two sessions: the first from 13:00 and the second from 15:00. Each session is limited to about six participants on a first-come, first-served basis, and admission is free. Tools, including scissors, will be provided, and registration is available via the QR code in the image or the application form in the highlight.
Beer for adults
Beer for adults will be sold on-site by OGA BREWING. After purchase, visitors can drink in the parking area, and bringing snacks is allowed. Hokkaishoji is teaming up with OGA BREWING, a Mitaka brewery located in the same Shimorenjaku neighborhood, to create a casual local event that fits into the everyday surroundings.
