Hop BroKumazawa Sake Brewery is holding Sakagura Fest 2026 on April 11 and 12. It's a spring gathering at the Chigasaki grounds where you can enjoy sake, food, and music all together.
MugiWait, a gathering of sake, food, and music? That's a lot of information. So it's basically live music, food, and beer to finish?
Hop BroThat's the idea. And admission is by advance ticket only, which goes on sale February 27 at stores and on e+.
MugiA ticket system? So do you trade tickets like coins every time you drink beer? I'm going to end up crying if I lose my exchange tickets halfway through!
Hop BroExactly. On site, you use food-and-drink vouchers to exchange for items. And the star of the show is, of course, Shonan Beer, Kumazawa Sake Brewery's own brewed beer.
MugiShonan Beer already makes me feel the sea breeze! So what style of beer is it?
Hop BroThe article doesn't name a specific style, but it sounds like the setup emphasizes pairing, so you enjoy it together with food. In other words, it's the kind of event that shines through flavor combinations.
MugiWhat is that, suddenly it feels high-level! And MOKICHI KAMAKURA is a brick building, right? So cool!
Hop BroThat's right. It's a restaurant renovated from the old pump station, and it serves dishes using herbs and fermented ingredients. The basement "Chikashitsu" also has sake and gin.
MugiWhoa, it's basically a treasure chest of a drinking spot. On April 11 and 12, I want to go all in on this spring brewery event!
Hop BroAnd it's plenty of time too: 10:30 to 20:00 on the 11th, and 10:00 to 19:00 on the 12th. This is basically a from-daytime-to-nighttime toast kind of course.
MugiYeah, I want to plan my schedule with Shonan Beer priority over work!
Kumazawa Sake Brewery will hold "Sakagura Fest 2026" on Saturday, April 11, and Sunday, April 12, 2026. The venue is on Kumazawa Sake Brewery's grounds in Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, and the official announcement describes it as a spring gathering to enjoy "sake," "food," and "music."
The event runs from 10:30 to 20:00 on April 11 (last order 19:30) and from 10:00 to 19:00 on April 12 (last order 18:30). Admission requires an advance ticket, which will be sold in stores at Kuramoto Ryori Tensei, MOKICHI-affiliated locations, and via e+. The event uses a ticket system in which food and beverage vouchers are exchanged for dishes and drinks, and the offerings vary by venue.
When it comes to Kumazawa Sake Brewery's beer, the centerpiece is its in-house brewed "Shonan Beer." Centered on that world, the event seems designed so guests can enjoy pairings with food. MOKICHI KAMAKURA is also part of the same Kumazawa Brewery group; its striking brick building was created by renovating the former Kanagawa Prefectural Kamakura Pressure Pump Station. Inside, the space is modern and open, and it serves dishes made with herbs and brewery-fermented ingredients.
In addition, the restaurant's basement houses the brewery's direct-sales shop, "Chikashitsu" ("Basement"), where sake, beer, and craft gin are available. MOKICHI KAMAKURA lets people encounter Kumazawa Brewery's flavors on a daily basis in Hase, Kamakura, while Sakagura Fest is the brewery's major annual event. Knowing both gives a fuller, more three-dimensional sense of Sakagura Fest.
