MugiWait, an Oktoberfest in March!? Calling it the earliest in Japan is almost too much of a season jump, isn't it?
Hop BroThe venue is Amu Hiroba, and it runs until March 29. Being able to drink from 3 p.m. on weekdays and from 11 a.m. on weekends and holidays is a big plus.
MugiHuh! But the guide says Tap7, while it also says six draft beers served daily. Is the number getting drunk?
Hop BroThe thing is, they rotate six draft beers each day, while also using the system to showcase a wide range, including the first-time offering Tege Lemofuru.
MugiThe lineup sounds great! Just the name Kinkan Weizen already gives such a Miyazaki fruit vibe!
Hop BroStyle-wise, the Weizen is soft and wheaty, the Stout is dark and rich, and the White Lager is refreshing too, so you can drink them according to your mood.
MugiWhat is that! I heard about their own cultivated yeast, but what is house-cultivated yeast? It makes me nervous like a science lab!
Hop BroSimply put, it's the star of fermentation that the brewery nurtures and manages, and because it brings out distinct aroma and character, it creates Hidji's personality.
MugiAnd the food is strong too - mehikari fish & chips and a five-kind sausage platter, it's a total winning streak!
MugiIf they're serving large pours, I'm starting to feel like I want to hit every tap from Taiyo no Lager to Hyuganatsu!
Hop BroThen it's settled: as long as we avoid the weather cancellation and the March 23 closure, let's toast in front of Miyazaki Station.
The spring edition of Miyazaki Oktoberfest will be held for the first time at Amu Hiroba in front of Miyazaki Station. The event runs from Thursday, March 19, 2026, to Sunday, March 29.
From Hideji Beer, staff from Kyushu Craft Stand will take part. Drawing on the Oktoberfest culture of Munich, Germany, this time the event will be held as the earliest-in-Japan spring edition. In keeping with the serving sizes of German beer, Hideji Beer is also planned to be served in large sizes at the venue. For craft beer fans who want to really drink, it looks like an especially notable event in both quantity and flavor.
The planned draft beers will rotate daily through six varieties (the guide lists them up to Tap7). The lineup includes Taiyo no Lager, Hyuganatsu, Hop Biyori, Kinkan Weizen, Stout, and Miyazaki Grapefruit White Lager, plus the first-ever Tege Lemofuru. The food selection is designed with beer pairing in mind, including Beer Shop Fried Chicken, an assortment of five sausages, and the local specialty mehikari fish and chips.
Hideji Beer Mukabaki Brewery is a brewery that has been making beer at the foot of Mount Mukabaki in northern Miyazaki Prefecture, continuing to brew with high-quality natural water and its own cultivated yeast at the core. Its commitment to quality while making use of local character should let visitors experience a distinctly Miyazaki beer at this event as well.
