d-iZe returns to the festival stage

Oirase Brewery introduced d-iZe, also known as Daizu, as one of the stage performers for OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026. Born in the former Iwaki area of Aomori Prefecture in 1984, he began his music career in 2010. He later served as a leader of the music unit Goosehouse, whose YouTube channel grew to more than 2.5 million subscribers and over 1.4 billion total views.

Since moving from Tokyo to Hirosaki in 2020, d-iZe has continued his own YouTube and social media work while appearing as an MC on Aomori television and radio programs and hosting local events. This will be his second appearance at the Oktoberfest.

Craft beer, food and music in Towada

OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026 will take place on September 19 and 20 at Roadside Station Oirase Roman Park. According to Oirase Brewery, the event will feature craft beers from four breweries in Aomori Prefecture, food from Towada restaurants and food trucks, and live music and other stage programs. Cider, sake and dishes made with ingredients from Aomori will also be available.

d-iZe’s performance is scheduled for September 20 from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. It offers visitors a chance to enjoy local music alongside beer and regional food.

Oirase Brewery has operated in Towada since 1997, surrounded by the Hakkoda Mountains, Lake Towada and the Oirase Stream. The brewery uses Oirase spring water, sourced from the Hakkoda groundwater system, to produce beers including Pilsner, Dark Lager, Amber Lager, Weizen and IPA. For beer lovers, the festival is an opportunity to experience the brewery’s water and local character in a lively autumn setting.

Schedules may change. For updates, see the official Oirase Brewery website and its social media channels.
