Yokogawa BREWERY to Host “Craft Beer and Otomo Vol. 5” on March 28 and 29
Yokogawa Brewery in Hiroshima has announced its weekend event, “Craft Beer and Otomo Vol. 5.” Over the two days of March 28 and 29, the lineup will feature aroma, curry, and chocolate, offering a chance to enjoy new combinations of craft beer and “otomo.”
Hop BroA weekend in Yokogawa is about to get better with Craft Beer and Otomo Vol. 5! It’s being held at Yokogawa Brewery on March 28 from 12:00 and March 29 from 13:00.
MugiWait, there’s more than just beer? I’m way too curious about what “otomo” means!
Hop BroThe main attraction this time is Yokogawa Brewery’s craft beer plus three collaboration sections: YUMI’s aroma, SUM CURRY’s curry, and Happy SEEDS’ chocolate!
MugiWhat! I get the curry and beer part, but adding aroma and chocolate too makes it feel like a full-on festival!
Hop BroThis is where pairing theory shines. It’s a plan where you can play with style-by-style matches, like IPA with bright citrus-hop aromas or stout with roasted malt character.
MugiHold on, roasted malt? That suddenly sounds like a science class! Make it sound tasty!
Hop BroBasically, when barley is roasted, it develops coffee- or cacao-like flavors. So pairing it with chocolate means more shared flavor notes between them.
MugiOhh! So aroma is the appetizer for your nose, curry is the spicy adventure, and chocolate is the reward in a three-step combo experience!
Hop BroExactly. The heat is that Yokogawa BREWERY is expanding the idea of a brewery from a place to drink into a place to experience, as a weekend event from Hiroshima.
MugiIt’s decided! I want to start with a fragrant first glass and finish with chocolate! I want to go drink right now~!
Yokogawa Brewery announced the event information in an Instagram post. The title is “Craft Beer and Otomo Vol. 5.” The event is presented as a plan to enjoy not only the appeal of beer on its own, but also combinations that bring together aroma, food, and sweets.

- Venue: Yokogawa BREWERY
- Date and Time:

Today's Lineup
The post introduces the following three participants.

This lineup of an aroma experience, spice-forward food, and chocolate should create a combination that brings out beer's flavors from multiple angles.

What Stands Out in the Context of Yokogawa Brewery
For Yokogawa Brewery, based in Hiroshima, collaboration-style events like this can be seen as an effort to expand the brewery space from a place to simply drink into a place to experience. It should serve as an easy entry point not only for people who already enjoy craft beer locally, but also for those who do not usually focus on beer, offering a chance to engage with craft beer culture in Yokogawa over the weekend.
