Event overview


KANPAI STAND SHIBUYA will begin Sado and Niigata Craft Beer Fest on Sept. 7. At the time of the announcement, the beer lineup had not yet been revealed, but the venue said it will offer four taps from T0ki Brewery and four taps from Otama Brewing / Sanwa Lab, for a total of eight taps, along with special limited food items designed to pair with the beers.

About T0ki Brewery


T0ki Brewery is based in Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. On its official site, the brewery describes itself as making craft beer that “refreshes a moment,” and says it operates from a small brewery in the Ryotsu area of Sado Island. The brewery focuses on American-style craft beer and notes that it does not keep standard core products, instead releasing all beers as seasonal offerings.

Why it matters


For beer fans, the event brings a Sado-based brewery into a Tokyo tap setting, while also placing it alongside another Niigata brewer. That makes it easier to compare different expressions of regional craft beer in one place. T0ki Brewery also continues to share new releases and event updates through its official site, so more details about the tap list will likely draw attention soon.
