MugiWhat? We drink beer and walk too? Visiting four Mashiko venues sounds like the best kind of field trip!
Hop BroExactly. The venues are Starnet Zone, Komine Kiln / in front of nagi, Mingel Farmhouse beer&bread, and Tsukamoto Hontaku—all set up for a walk within 1 km.
MugiStrolling through Mashiko, famous for pottery, with beer in hand sounds perfect! And there are nine breweries total, right?
Hop BroRight. Local host Mingel is joined by brewers including Yorocco Beer, Streetlight Brewing, 808 Brewery, Novel Craft Brewing, Blue Magic, and Pirono Beer.

A beer trail through Mashiko
