Night Market at Ujibashi-dori Shopping Street

Tamba-Sasayama ZIGZAG Brewery will host a "Craft Beer Night Market" on Saturday, August 8, from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Ujibashi-dori Shopping Street. The event is set up as an evening opportunity to enjoy craft beer in a lively shopping-street setting.

Based in Fukuzumi, Tamba-Sasayama, in Hyogo Prefecture, the brewery describes itself as a small microbrewery surrounded by mountains and a river. Its stated goal is to deliver a "glass of happiness," using local ingredients and seasonal aromas while brewing carefully in small tanks. A focus on yeast character is also central to its approach.

Its official bottle lineup includes English Red Ale, Weizen, a limited Hazy IPA, Black Bean Imperial IPA, ESB, Pale Ale, and Belgian Blonde. The range suggests a brewery that works across both classic and more characterful styles, which makes the night market an interesting chance to see what it brings to a local event.

ZIGZAG Brewery has also positioned itself as a brewery that brings beer to events and celebrations. In that sense, this night market is a natural extension of its brewing philosophy: a small brewery from Tamba-Sasayama meeting people in the middle of a summer street scene.
