Nomcraft Brewing to join the first MIO Ikora Night at JR Wakayama Station on Aug. 7-8
Nomcraft Brewing, based in Aridagawa Town, Wakayama, announced that it will take part in the first-ever MIO Ikora Night at the JR Wakayama Station rotary area on Friday, Aug. 7 and Saturday, Aug. 8. The evening event is designed as an easy stop after work or a night out, with food trucks and dining booths.
Hop BroWakayama Station is getting Mio Ikora Night on August 7 and 8, and Nomcraft Brewing is pouring there. Station-front craft beer turns the trip home into a reward route.
MugiWhat! Right outside JR Wakayama Station? A post-work pint at the station is basically the ticket gate telling me to cheers!
Hop BroYep, it runs from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Central Exit rotary. There are food trucks, food booths, and eat-in space, so it is built for an easy stop on the way home.
MugiNo way! But what kind of brewery is Nomcraft? The phrase former nursery brewery hit me like three plot twists at once!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. They are based in Aridagawa, Wakayama, brewing in a renovated former nursery with an international team working on town-building through craft beer.
MugiThat sounds great! But the article said hop-forward and my brain immediately slipped on the foam. What does that mean?
Hop BroIt means the hops lead the show with aroma and bitterness up front, like citrusy notes and a clean bite. Nomcraft does hop-forward American styles and classic styles too, with drinkability at the center.
MugiSo what beer are they pouring there? Beer names unannounced somehow makes me even more nervous-excited. I can already see myself frozen in front of the menu!
Hop BroThe specific lineup is still unknown, but the two-day rotation matters. Some vendors change between the two nights, so the food pairings and overall vibe should be different each day.
MugiThat is unfair in the best way! If I go Friday and Saturday, I can claim beer and snacks live in separate stomachs. I want a pint already!
Hop BroThat is exactly the right conclusion. I want to toast at Wakayama Station and enjoy even the suspense of waiting to see which Nomcraft pour shows up.

From Aridagawa Town
Nomcraft Brewing is located in Aridagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture, where it brews in a renovated former nursery school. On its official site, the brewery describes itself as an international team of relocators working on town-building through craft beer. Its lineup spans hop-forward American styles and classic styles, with a focus on approachable, drinkable beers.
Two days, partly different lineup
