Iwai Brewery to host the 3rd IWAI MARCHE on June 21
The 3rd IWAI MARCHE will take place on June 21 at IWAI TERRACE in Katsunuma, Koshu, Yamanashi. The event will feature draft beer from Iwai Brewery along with a brewery tour and a range of vendors offering wine, gin, coffee, fruit, and handmade goods.
Hop BroI want to talk about the 3rd IWAI MARCHE today. It is happening on June 21 at IWAI TERRACE in Yamanashi, and craft beer fans should not miss it.
MugiWait, at a terrace in Yamanashi? Drinking with a view like that feels unfair in the best possible way!
Hop BroAnd the star of it is IWAI BREWERY on the property, pouring beers built around pairing-driven brewing for restaurant food. The idea is to support the dish, not overpower it.
MugiWhat is pairing-driven brewing even supposed to mean? That sounded like a beer wizard spell.
Hop BroBasically, it means a food-friendly beer that works with burgers and pasta and makes the meal taste better. The article does not reveal a beer name or style yet, so that part stays a surprise.
MugiNo way, the beer name is still secret? That somehow makes me even more curious. My throat is already emotionally prepared.
Hop BroHere is the good part: there will be fresh draft beer poured on site, plus a brewery tour led by the brewer. That is the kind of thing that spikes a beer nerd's heart rate.
MugiA tour too? Guided by the brewer? So I get to stare at tanks and pretend I totally understand everything?
Hop BroYou will be fine. Even when technical terms pop up, hearing about fermentation and ingredients while walking through the brewery makes it click. It is also a free-entry market, running from 10:00 to 15:00, even in light rain.
MugiA free event with all that? Wine, gin, and coffee too, plus fruit and handmade goods? That is not a stroll, that is a side-quest marathon.
Hop BroExactly. With views of the Kofu Basin and the Southern Alps, and the cafe and BBQ terrace still operating, it really feels like food and craft together in one place. I am already imagining the first pour.
MugiSame, I want a toast right now! View, tour, draft beer, repeat, and by the end I will probably become an IWAI TERRACE evangelist.
A terrace market overlooking the Koshu basin
HUGE will hold the 3rd IWAI MARCHE on June 21 at IWAI TERRACE in Katsunuma, Koshu, Yamanashi. The market will run from 10:00 to 15:00 on the open terrace next to the cafe. Admission is free, and the event will be held in light rain.
IWAI MARCHE brings together local producers and craft brands for a compact market focused on food, drinks, and lifestyle goods. IWAI TERRACE sits in a location with views of the Koshu basin and the Southern Alps, and the cafe and barbecue terrace will continue normal operations during the event. Guests can also enjoy hamburgers, pasta, and beer brewed on site.
What IWAI Brewery brings to the event
IWAI BREWERY is HUGE's second in-house brewery, created in Katsunuma with a clear idea in mind: make beer for the restaurant. The brewery aims to produce beer that supports a meal rather than overpowering it. For this market, visitors can expect draft beer served on the spot, along with brewery-led tours and original goods.
The rest of the lineup is broad as well. Wine, craft gin, specialty coffee, premium fruit, ear acupressure jewelry, and handmade goods are all part of the market mix. That makes the event more than a beer stop; it is a chance to move between drinks, food, and craft items in one setting.
Set against the landscape of Katsunuma, IWAI MARCHE highlights the combination of food, craft, and experience that defines IWAI TERRACE. For beer fans, the brewery presence is central, but the event also shows how the site is being used as a broader local gathering place.
