MugiWait, they're loading up plenty of kegs!? Going that hard for a festival basically means they're dead set on getting people drinking!
Hop BroExactly, and they’re apparently preparing a tasting set too. They haven’t revealed the lineup yet, but being able to try a little of each is one of the brewpub’s strengths.
MugiA tasting set is where you compare a few small pours, right? But teasing me this much without saying what kinds they are is unfair!

MugiOhhh! And if there’s also a rock-paper-scissors contest, then it’s packed with event vibes, not just beer!
Hop BroThe post said this year’s blossoms might not last until the day of the festival, but also commented, 'We’ll face it with cherry blossoms blooming in our hearts.' When you drink in a festival mood, spring still arrives even if the scenery isn’t there.
MugiThat’s nice! A spring beer feels like it lifts your mood, not just your palate.
Hop BroThey’re also open as a tasting room, and you can even walk to the shop from the venue in about 20 minutes. The idea of having a light drink at the festival and then heading to the shop to drink again more calmly is pretty well thought out.
MugiHaving a quiet drink at the shop at the end is the best...! If we raise a toast in Higashimurayama, it makes you want to drink up all of spring itself!
Distant Shores Brewing announced that it will be taking part in the 41st Honmachi Cherry Blossom Festival, held on Sunday, April 5, 10:00-16:00. The venue is the east exit of Higashimurayama Station, on Sakura Street just beyond Fuchu Kaido. At this springtime annual event, the local brewpub will be bringing draft beer.
In the post, they noted that this year's cherry blossoms may not last until the day of the festival, but added, "We’ll face it with cherry blossoms blooming in our hearts." The post also introduces the rock-paper-scissors contest that makes this always-busy annual event even livelier.
On the beer side, the notable point is the announcement that they are bringing plenty of kegs. The specific beer names were not disclosed in the post, but since a tasting set will be available, it should be a format that lets you try several varieties in small amounts. Being able to enjoy the brewpub's house-brewed beer amid the festive atmosphere is likely one of the nicest parts.
Also, Distant Shores Brewing's tasting room is open. The post suggests first enjoying a drink at the Honmachi Cherry Blossom Festival, then walking about 20 minutes to the shop. Rather than stopping after drinking at the venue, having a route that lets you head to the shop and savor things at a calmer pace is another very brewpub-like touch.
The shop is located at 3-14-2 Akitsucho, Higashimurayama City, Tokyo. By naturally linking a local event appearance with its regular business, it seems poised to let visitors enjoy a spring day through beer.
