A special event will be held for three days, from March 20 to 22, in conjunction with the 4th Anniversary Week at the brewpub NAMACHAn Stand Kita-Ikebukuro in Ikebukuro Honcho, Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

The main attraction this time is the "speed lottery," which customers can enter each time they order draft beer in size R or larger, or when they purchase takeout smoked products worth 1,500 yen or more including tax. Since takeout purchases also qualify, the event is designed to be easy for a wide range of customers to join, from those who just want to enjoy one drink inside the shop to those who prefer taking things home. Prizes include an unreleased NAMACHAn growler, an unreleased glass, NAMACHAn merchandise, smoked products, discount coupons, and stickers.

If the shop becomes crowded, it may switch to all-standing service, and drinks may also be served in plastic cups, which gives a sense of the lively atmosphere unique to anniversary week. It sounds like the kind of event where you can casually drop in, have a drink, draw a lottery ticket, and enjoy yourself.

On the food side, a 4th-anniversary limited pulled pork sandwich will also be available, made with baguettes from the bakery Sailknotz in Kanamecho. It features pork loin slowly cooked with NAMACHAn beer, shredded and paired with aromatic vegetables before being sandwiched together, creating a dish that was clearly designed with beer pairing in mind. Being able to enjoy smoked menu items, draft beer, and the limited sandwich together seems like exactly the kind of anniversary event this place does best.

NAMACHAn Stand Kita-Ikebukuro is a brewpub in the Kita-Ikebukuro area where people can enjoy craft beer and smoked dishes as the core of the experience. This 4th Anniversary Week offers a straightforward set of pleasures all at once: drinking, eating, and trying your luck at the lottery.
