Rururu Beer to Set Up at Shikishima Park's "Yaki Manju Festival" on April 11 and 12
Rururu Beer, based in Maebashi, Gunma, announced on Instagram that it will set up a booth at the "Yaki Manju Festival" held at Shikishima Park on April 11 and 12. The post frames yaki manju as a "fermentation x fermentation" pairing and notes how well it goes with beer.
Hop BroMaebashi's Rururu Beer is setting up at the Yaki Manju Festival at Shikishima Park on April 11 and 12, right? It feels like a clash of fermentation towns, and from the start it gives off nothing but delicious vibes.
MugiWait, yaki manju goes with beer!? And is it sweet or savory in the first place!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the owner sees yaki manju as fermentation x fermentation. The idea is that the sweet-and-savory taste of a miso glaze overlaps with the roasty aroma of malt and the bitterness of hops.
MugiIf fermentation comes up twice, it feels like some kind of fermentation multiplication, and my head gets all floaty! But hearing "sugar-soy sauce" does make it sound snack-like, I guess.
Hop BroRight, and it also mentions that after moving from Aomori to Gunma, he ate yaki manju early on and got hooked on the charm of sweet-and-savory flavors. That's why all kinds of beers are easy to pair with that toasty skewered treat.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds fun to compare them with beers of all kinds of flavors! One bite of yaki manju, one sip of beer, and it would turn into an endless loop.
Hop BroWhat's more, the post also says that if you use the local bus or the dedicated shuttle bus, you can drink at the venue. They've even thought through the flow for people who want to drink, which makes it a well-run event.
MugiNice! Then you can safely have a drink at the venue. And with Maebashi Witches coming too, it's already packed with liveliness!
Hop BroRururu Beer is based in Maebashi City and works to create places where beer can be paired with local food, so this time it's about elevating Gunma's staple cuisine with beer. What I like is how they show the match between a local specialty and craft beer through a regional story.
MugiWow, just reading this makes me hungry! This is definitely one of those cases where you want freshly baked and a chilled drink, both as a set.
Booth location is the "Yaki Manju Festival" at Shikishima Park

Highlighting the pairing of yaki manju and beer
What stands out in the post is that yaki manju is treated not simply as a local specialty, but as part of the "fermentation" context that overlaps with beer. The owner talks about eating yaki manju early after moving from Aomori to Gunma, and connects its sweet-and-savory flavor with the sugar-soy sauce from his family home. From there, he suggests that beers with a range of flavors pair well with yaki manju, which has a toasty aroma and sweetness.
Guidance for the day as well
At the end of the post, it also says that if you use a local bus or the shuttle bus exclusive to this event, you can drink at Shikishima. The event is also announcing an appearance by Maebashi Witches, so the venue should be lively beyond just food and drink.
