Hop BroToday, Horyuzan Brewery in Yokosuka has a neat regular closed-day event. On March 9, they're doing a "Glue Kintsugi Experience," and it even comes with lunch and beer, which is a pretty intriguing plan.
MugiWhoa! Kintsugi at a brewery!? An object-repair experience sounds stylish, but it also seems like a pretty high hurdle right off the bat!
Hop BroThat's the point. This time it's glue kintsugi as an entry point to authentic kintsugi. You glue together cracks and chips with adhesive, then decorate the seams with gold, so it's approachable even for beginners.
MugiGlue, as in the stuff you use for crafts? If it's beginner-friendly kintsugi, maybe even I could do it, but I feel like my hands would get sticky halfway through!
Hop BroExactly, but the goal isn't just to fix things well. It's also about getting a feel for a perspective of using things for a long time. Repairing a broken piece and cherishing it goes really well with the craft beer world.
MugiTrue, using something after fixing it is lovely. And the venue is a brewery brewed by a Jodo Shinshu Otani-ha Buddhist monk, which somehow gives it real depth...!
Hop BroHoryuzan Brewery is in Kurihama, Yokosuka City, and it aims for a classical flavor while using water from Hashirimizu. It feels like the kind that values quiet, lingering deliciousness over flash.
MugiWow! Working while drinking a beer like that sounds amazing, doesn't it? The moment I heard it included lunch and beer, I was about 80% sure I wanted to join!
Hop BroAnd it's on Monday, March 9, from 10:00 a.m., with a participation fee of just 5,900 yen. Materials, lunch, and beer are all included, and since it's first-come, first-served for eight people, it's the kind of thing that fills up if you wait around.
MugiA first-come limit of eight makes it nerve-racking, but now I want to go even more! If I can enjoy both handiwork and a drink, my mood and the tableware might both get nicely fixed up.
Hop BroAt the end, you can drink a solid pint slowly while soaking in the afterglow of the repair. That kind of holiday is pretty great.
MugiYeah, just imagining it makes my throat go dry! A toast in Kurihama is definitely going to taste good!
