Kago-ya Brewery to Host Open Terrace Event in Izumi-Tamagawa on October 3
Kago-ya Brewery will host an “Open Terrace” event at the Izumi-Tamagawa shopping street in Komae, Tokyo, on October 3, 2026. From 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., visitors can enjoy beer and food in an open-air setting as the neighborhood moves into the evening.
Hop BroA Komae sunset beer event is coming up. Kagoya Brewery will hold its Open Terrace on October 3 at Izumi-Tamagawa Shopping Street.
MugiWhat? The shopping street becomes a beer garden? Izumi-Tamagawa Shopping Street sounds like such a fun place to drink!
Hop BroIt runs from 4:30 to 7 p.m. There will be a special outdoor dining area for beer, food, and that lovely early-evening breeze.
MugiPerfect for an after-work pint, or a visit with friends and family! But what kind of brewery is Kagoya?
Hop BroKagoya is Komae’s first craft brewery. Since 2017, it has pursued Japanese beer making; its parent shop, Kagoya Akimoto Shoten, dates back to 1902.
MugiWow! Does Japanese beer making mean beer for Japanese food?
Hop BroExactly. They value Japan’s climate, fermentation culture, and craftsmanship to make beer that works alongside meals. One example is Wado, brewed in a Yoshino cedar vat.
MugiBrewed in a wooden vat?! What is that—does the beer turn into a hot-spring bath? What does wooden-vat brewing mean?
Hop BroNo giant bath required! A wooden vat can add character through the wood’s aroma and its resident microbes. It is a way of highlighting cedar character, you could say.
MugiI get it! Cedar notes with Japanese food sounds delicious. What beer styles will they pour at the event?
Hop BroThe specific beers, food, and beer styles for the day have not been announced yet. Still, I’m hoping for a lineup that feels unmistakably Kagoya.
MugiThen let’s watch for the update and head to Komae on October 3! The Kagoya Beer Stand is only a two-minute walk from the station—then we can toast in the shopping street!
