ISANA Brewing says its June 13 collaboration event with Épice舞 is fully booked
ISANA Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, announced that its in-house collaboration event with Épice舞, a spice curry restaurant in Tachikawa, is fully booked for Saturday the 13th. The brewery says limited standing room may still be available.
Hop BroToday's topic is ISANA BREWING teaming up with Epice Mai. Their Saturday the 13th slot is already full, which says a lot about the hype.
MugiWhat! The 13th is sold out already? People really heard 'curry and beer' and immediately stampeded, huh!?
Hop BroExactly, it's a collab with Epice Mai where you enjoy the food and beer together inside ISANA. Even now, a few small standing groups can still be accepted.
MugiOkay, but what does brewpub and roastery even mean? You can't just season the conversation with fancy words!
Hop BroIt just means beer brewed on-site plus house-roasted coffee in the same place. ISANA is also only a three-minute walk from Akishima Station's south exit.
MugiThat is wild! Beer and curry pairing sounds like an aroma festival with no crowd control. So what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThat's the hook: name and style undisclosed so far. The article does say the collab beer is finished, though, so it's clearly being designed around the food.
MugiA secret beer? an undisclosed style and I'm already emotionally attached. That feels unfair!
Hop BroISANA also uses deep groundwater from Akishima, which is one of its signatures. This kind of food-and-beer experiment totally matches their 'Factory & Laboratory' vibe.
MugiAnd their motto is bitter drinks, big smiles? Yeah, one plate and one pint already sounds dangerously convincing.
Hop BroThe nice part is there's still a chance even after the seats filled up. Once I hear the collab beer is ready, I start wanting curry in one hand and a glass in the other.
MugiSame. I want a pour now. Spiced curry plus a mystery beer is basically a trap for people like me!
ISANA Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, posted on Instagram that its in-house collaboration event with Épice舞 (Epice Mai), a spice curry restaurant in Tachikawa, is now fully booked for Saturday the 13th. According to the announcement, a small number of guests may still be accommodated in standing-room spots if they are willing to join that way.
The event had previously been announced as a pairing of Épice舞’s dishes and ISANA Brewing’s beer, with the brewery also sharing that a collaboration beer had been completed. Épice舞 is known for creative spice curry centered on the idea of "eating for health," so the event is clearly designed around food-and-beer pairing.
ISANA Brewing is a brewery and roastery located about three minutes on foot from JR Akishima Station’s south exit. It has been operating since May 2018 and serves craft beer brewed with Akishima’s deep underground water, along with house-roasted coffee. The brewery’s concept is "making bitter drinks that make everyone smile," and it emphasizes drinking beer on-site while watching the brewing setup.
The sell-out notice reflects the appeal of ISANA Brewing’s "Factory & Laboratory" approach: a place where beer, coffee, and food are treated as part of the same creative experiment. For local beer fans, it is another reminder that the brewery’s collaborations can draw strong interest well before the event itself begins.
