MugiWait, craft beer at a crab festival?! That sounds amazing! Where is it, and what time does it start?
Hop BroThe venue is the special area at Miyako City Fish Market, and the time is 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Izumikin Shuzo announced it on Instagram at 12:04 p.m. on February 27, 2026, and the post says they'll be bringing sake and beer.
MugiOhhh! A two-pronged attack with sake and beer! But is the beer name set yet?
Hop BroAccording to the post, the brand name hasn't been revealed yet. So it looks like it'll appear simply as Ryusendo Wakka beer, and the style will depend on the lineup that day.
MugiWhat does that even mean! "Depending on the style" sounds like the beer is changing outfits!
Hop BroNice catch! By style, I mean the type of beer, like IPA or lager. Ryusendo Wakka uses water from Ryusendo Cave, and its defining concept is a clean flavor and a crisp finish.
MugiGot it! So with seafood like hairy crab, it just sweeps the richness away nicely? The mouth-reset crew!
Hop BroExactly, that's the highlight. Pairing Sanriku seafood with craft beer made from local water and brewing techniques on site is seriously exciting as a pairing test too.
MugiCrab, sake, craft beer... that's the full set of Iwate's food culture! Just thinking about it makes me thirsty. Let's go grab a drink now!
As booth information related to Ryusendo Wakka (Iwate), Izumikin Shuzo's Instagram account announced participation in the Miyako Hairy Crab Festival at 12:04 p.m. on February 27, 2026. The post clearly stated that they will bring sake and beer to the booth and outlined the event conditions.
Booth Overview
- Date and time: Sunday, March 1, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- Venue: Special venue at Miyako City Fish Market
- Planned offerings: Sake and beer
On the official Ryusendo Wakka website, the facility is described as a brewery-adjacent base centered on "beer made with water from Ryusendo Cave." It also states that the craft beer is produced by the long-established sake maker Izumikin Shuzo, so the pairing of sake and beer in this booth announcement naturally fits that background.
The Miyako Hairy Crab Festival is known as a seasonal event bringing together seafood from the Sanriku region, and the fact that the venue is a special area at the fish market gives it a strong local character. At a food event centered on hairy crab, being able to enjoy craft beer made from locally sourced water and brewing techniques alongside the food is an opportunity to experience the food culture of Iwate's coastline in a more layered way.
From a beer fan's perspective, the biggest highlight is how well it pairs with seafood. Ryusendo Wakka's design concept of a "clean flavor and crisp finish" makes this a place to see how it really works alongside seafood.
