Kawada Mojiyaki-ten guest event set for Aug. 8-9 at Craft Beer to, Watashi in Mito
Craft Beer to, Watashi, a brewpub in Mito, Ibaraki, will host a guest pop-up by Kawada Mojiyaki-ten on August 8 and 9. The event will feature house-brewed beers from Beach Culture Brewing, with walk-ins welcome for drinks only.
Hop BroMito has a fun one coming up: on August 8 and 9, Kawada Monjayaki Shop is doing a pop-up at Craft Beer to, Watashi.
MugiWhat! Kawada Monjayaki Shop at a beer spot? Monjayaki and craft beer already sounds unfairly good!
Hop BroThe venue, Craft Beer to, Watashi, is a brewpub about a 6-minute walk from Mito Station, and it's open from 1:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
MugiHold on, brewpub sounds weirdly scientific! How is that different from a normal beer bar?
Hop BroIt means they serve beer brewed in-house, basically an on-site brewery bar. Freshness and house character are the big draw.
MugiOhhh! So this time we get Beach Culture Brewing house-made craft beer? Being at a directly run spot makes that feel extra special!
Hop BroExactly. The beer names and styles haven't been announced yet, but that's part of the intrigue: you get the direct-from-the-source experience.
MugiSo the names are still secret and somehow I'm even more curious! And it's the first time in a year plus only the second edition?
Hop BroYep, and no reservation or cover is needed. You can even drop in just for drinks, which is dangerously convenient.
MugiWhat is this, a trap for my wallet? A quick one after work that can turn into monjayaki sounds way too powerful!
Hop BroIt's mostly standing room, kids are welcome, and people share the griddle. That teppan-and-beer pairing is basically the whole event's charm.
MugiNow I'm hungry and thirsty at the same time... a monjayaki with a pint in Mito on August 8 or 9 sounds extremely correct.
