Restaurant Platz to Set Up at the Kakunodate Cherry Blossom Festival with Akita Akura Beer
Akita Akura Beer, which operates Restaurant Platz, will set up a booth at the Kakunodate Cherry Blossom Festival on April 18 and 19. It will serve draft "Sakura Yeast Beer" and "Sakihokore Brut IPA," both made with Akita Mio yeast, and bottled beer will also be available.
Hop BroAkita Akura Beer is setting up a spring event booth at the Kakunodate Cherry Blossom Festival. And the venue is the parking lot of Sake Fushimiya Main Store, so you can drink while looking at the cherry blossoms and the townscape. The atmosphere is basically a guaranteed win.
MugiWait, drinking beer while looking at cherry blossoms sounds amazing! But the samurai residence district in Kakunodate feels kind of noble, so wouldn't you get scolded if you spilled beer there?
Hop BroThe important thing is not to spill it. And it runs on April 18 and 19, with hours from 11:00 to 17:00, so it's a perfect fit for anything from daytime flower viewing to a casual drink.
MugiI see. So what can you drink? It's not just ordinary beer, and the mention of Akita Mio yeast has me curious!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. The draft lineup has two main options: Sakura Yeast Beer and Sakihokore Brut IPA. Both use Akita Mio yeast, and they're designed to bring out springlike aromas and a lighter feel.
MugiBrut IPA? What is that! The name sounds intense, but is brut some kind of drink technique?
Hop BroExactly, it's a beer term. Think of it as a dry, crisp IPA that keeps the sweetness down and finishes clean. So paired with cherry blossoms, both the look and the flavor come together with a real spring feel.
MugiOhh! That sounds perfect for relaxing while flower viewing. And they’re also selling bottled beer at the venue, so you can take some home too? That's almost too good!
Hop BroExactly. They have regular beers too, and since you can take bottles home, it’s set up so you can have one at the venue and another at home. That's why this is the ideal first stop.
MugiRestaurant Platz is that beer pub in Omachi, Akita City, right? The fact that the shop is coming out into the festival feels like bringing the local flavor outdoors, and I'm excited!
Hop BroExactly. In springtime Kakunodate, being able to get Akita craft beer and enjoy it with the scenery is a luxury. This is the kind of thing that makes you go not just to see the cherry blossoms, but because you want to drink beer.
MugiWow, now I completely want to go drink! I'm going to start with the Sakura Yeast Beer and finish by taking home a bottled beer!
Hop BroNice. Then I'll check the crispness with the Sakihokore Brut IPA and raise a glass while looking up at the cherry blossoms.
Akita Akura Beer, which runs the brewery-restaurant "Restaurant Platz" in Omachi, Akita City, will set up a booth at the Kakunodate Cherry Blossom Festival, held on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19.
The venue will be the parking lot of Sake Fushimiya Main Store. Located close to Bukeyashiki Street, it offers a chance to enjoy craft beer while taking in the cherry blossoms and the historic streetscape. Hours are 11:00 to 17:00, though they may change depending on the weather.
The draft beers being served are "Sakura Yeast Beer," made with Akita Mio yeast, and "Sakihokore Brut IPA," which also uses Akita Mio yeast. Both are regionally inspired brews, forming a lineup suited to a spring event.
In addition to regular beers, bottled beer will also be sold at the venue, making it easy to take some home as a souvenir. As a stop during the cherry blossom festival, it looks like an easy place to pick up your first drink.
Restaurant Platz is a beer pub at 1-2-40 Omachi, Akita City. While it serves as a neighborhood spot for everyday use, it also actively participates in seasonal events like this, helping bring local craft beer out to other venues. Its Kakunodate booth should be a good opportunity to share Akita beer more widely during the spring sightseeing season.
