MugiWhat! They're moving that much from May? Going to both the Tokyo and Nagoya areas is impressive!
Hop BroThe main attraction is the joint TTO with Kamado Brewery at Craft Beer Market Jimbocho in Jimbocho on Saturday, May 9 from 12:00.
MugiWhat is TTO!? Is that a tap takeover? It suddenly sounds really pro!
Hop BroExactly. In short, it's like a brewery taking over the taps at a bar. It's a great chance to drink Blade's beer in the Kanto area.
MugiI want to go! Just being able to drink in Jimbocho already makes me want to sprint there after work!
Hop BroAt the end of the month, they'll also be at Kasadera Meda Beer Fest '26 on Sunday, May 31 from 11:00 to 18:00. And since a total of 14 breweries are gathering, it'll be perfect for tasting side by side.
Mugi14 breweries!? Wait, if they're bringing plenty of new releases, that's definitely more than I can get through, right?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The article doesn't say how many bottles they'll bring, but it sounds like they're planning to bring a lot of new releases, so it really has that once-in-a-lifetime feel at the venue.
MugiAnd on top of that, the local taproom is open every weekend, outside food is allowed, and there's parking too. That's so considerate! This makes it really easy to go.
Hop BroExactly. Staying based in Seki City while also heading out to Tokyo and Nagoya is what makes the brewery strong on both fronts. In May, I want to enjoy the differences in how each venue is experienced.
MugiReading this already makes me want a beer! Jimbocho and Kasadera both sound like places I'd want to hop between all month!
Blade Factory Brewing, based in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, announced its May taproom schedule on Instagram. The highlight is a joint TTO event with Kamado Brewery, to be held on Saturday, May 9 from 12:00 at Craft Beer Market Jimbocho in Jimbocho, Tokyo. The brewery is encouraging people in the Kanto area to come and enjoy its beers.
At the end of the month, it will set up at Kasadera Meda Beer Fest '26, scheduled for Sunday, May 31 from 11:00 to 18:00. The post says that a total of 14 breweries will gather in Kasadera, and Blade Factory Brewing also plans to bring plenty of new releases. It is a date that will be hard to miss for anyone who wants to compare a wide range of beers at the event venue.
There was also information about its local taproom in Seki City. It is scheduled to be open every weekend, with outside food allowed and parking available. However, parking use is limited to customers picking up takeaway beer or those accompanied by a designated driver. A selection of beers for takeaway will also be available, and Seki Pay can be used.
It is not a flashy announcement, but the brewery's approach is clearly anchored in both event appearances and its local taproom. Based in Seki City, Blade Factory Brewing is also extending its reach into the beer scenes of Tokyo and the Nagoya area. May looks set to be a month where visitors can enjoy the differences in how each venue is experienced.
