A Drink Even in the Rain


On April 3, Kens Brewery posted on Instagram, saying "Hello😊" and announcing that the cherry blossom festival had started. The post explained that, despite the rainy weather, they were serving beer from a tap set up outside, and that visitors could enjoy the same setup again the next day. It also noted that the shop was relatively uncrowded that day, making it an easy place to stop by.

Kens Brewery is a brewery in Yabe, Chuo Ward, Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. On its official website, it is introduced as a place offering about eight craft beers at all times, along with dishes made with local ingredients. One of its features is a menu that pairs well with beer, such as bacon steak made with Kōza pork.

This post conveyed both the seasonal feel of a spring event and the relaxed atmosphere of a place where you can drop in and enjoy yourself even on a rainy day. While highlighting the event's festive mood, the way it also shared crowd conditions suggests the approachable friendliness of a beer spot rooted in the local community.
