Choryo Shuzo Koryo Brewery to Hold 4th Anniversary Event and Sakura Week Starting March 20
In an Instagram post at 11:01 on March 6, 2026, Choryo Shuzo Koryo Brewery (Nara) announced a commemorative event to mark the 4th anniversary of the opening of Choryo Brew Park. From March 20 to 22, it will serve a limited-edition sake, and Sakura Week is scheduled from April 1 to 8.
Hop BroSpring news is here! Choryo Shuzo Koryo Brewery in Nara is holding an event for the 4th anniversary of Choryo Brew Park. It’s March 20 to 22.
MugiWhoa, happy 4th anniversary! Is that a beer festival? A sake festival? Both?!
Hop BroIt’s a plan that really fits a brewery and sake maker that does both. The main highlight is complimentary pours of the newly released Brew Park exclusive, CHORYO BREWPARK Selechion 'Aging.' It runs from 11:00 to 17:00, and it’s one cup per person, one time only!
MugiWhat even is that! 'Aging' sounds intense... and 'junmai ginjo unfiltered genshu' sounds like a tongue twister.
Hop BroIf you break it down, it’s simple: junmai ginjo is a ginjo-style sake made only from rice, and unfiltered genshu means it’s served in a rich state without filtering or adding water. This one is brewed with Omachi rice and aged for about two years, bringing out mellowness and balance.
MugiAhh, so it’s sake that was grown by time. A liquid time capsule!
Hop BroExactly. And from April 1 to 8 it’s Sakura Week, also from 11:00 to 17:00. On April 4 and 5 there’ll be food trucks and sales booths too, so it’s full-on cherry blossom mode.
MugiWow, I want to go! ...Wait, can I reserve a seat? I’m terrible at claiming spots!
Hop BroSeat reservations aren’t available during Sakura Week. So getting there early is the winning move. Check the latest business and serving info on the official social media before you go - that’s the pro way to handle it!
MugiThat smug-guide energy is helpful! Being able to compare craft beer and sake sounds absolutely perfect for a spring outing!
Hop BroStart with one cup of 'Aging' at the 4th anniversary event from March 20 to 22, then keep going with Sakura Week in April. This is definitely a trip worth making!
MugiIt’s decided! I can already see the future where we do cherry blossom viewing, compare drinks, and end with, 'One more, please!'
Nara’s Choryo Shuzo Koryo Brewery in Koryo is rolling out a pair of spring visitor events. According to the post, Choryo Brew Park will celebrate its 4th anniversary on March 19. To mark the occasion, events will be held as a thank-you to everyone who has used the facility.
Two Announced Plans

- Hours: 11:00 to 17:00
- Details: Complimentary pours of the newly released Brew Park exclusive sake, "CHORYO BREWPARK Selechion 'Aging'" (one cup per person, one time only)
The post explains that "Aging" is a Junmai Ginjo unfiltered genshu made with Omachi rice and aged for about two years, bringing out mellowness and balance. As an anniversary offering, it is being presented as a bottle that lets visitors experience the kind of "depth of time" that is hard to find in normal service.
- Sakura Week: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 to Wednesday, April 8, 2026
- Hours: 11:00 to 17:00
- Special Note: On Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5, a cherry blossom event with food trucks and sales booths will be held
