Gora Brewery and Grill (Hakone Town, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa) shared event information for the "30th Odawara Kamaboko Sakura Festival" in an official Instagram post titled "info📣".

The dates announced in the post are Saturday, March 28, 2026, through Sunday, March 29, 2026. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the event will be held rain or shine, canceled only in severe weather. It was also announced that the annual event, which brings together Odawara kamaboko, will feature special one-day-only discounted sales.

This year, craft beer shops from Kanagawa Prefecture and food trucks active mainly in Odawara City will gather to liven up the cherry blossom-viewing season. For craft beer fans, it looks like a chance to enjoy both kamaboko, a signature local food culture, and beers from breweries in the prefecture at the same time.

Gora Brewery and Grill is a brewery restaurant based in the Gora area of Hakone. In its official introduction, it highlights craft beer brewing using Hakone natural water and pairing proposals with food as its signature features. It will be interesting to see how the brewery's brewing and dining expertise, built up in the tourist destination of Hakone, is expressed at a local event as well.

Over two days in springtime Odawara, local food and craft beer will intersect. It's an event to check early when planning your weekend.
