EKIZONOFRANK, a beer pub in Kobe's Sannomiya district, will hold its 2nd anniversary event on April 15 under the title, "As of April 15. And then we turned 2, with heartfelt thanks." Located on the first floor of EKIZO Kobe Sannomiya, the shop is easy to access from the station and is the kind of place people can stop by on the way home from work. With beer at its core, it appears designed for easy use for meals and even just taking a break.

The main highlight this time is the anniversary original beer brewed with Our Brewing, a brewery they say has always taken good care of them. The style is a West Coast Pilsner, created with the goal of being something you can gulp down in summer. It will be available in two formats: draft and original-design cans. You can enjoy it on the spot in the shop along with the atmosphere, or take it home and enjoy it later.

The anniversary event will also offer attractions beyond beer. In addition to the event-only "Frank Dog Plate," an anniversary blend served as espresso will also be available. The first 100 guests will receive drip bags, making this a setup that encourages people to linger for a long time, with food and coffee in between.

Without losing its focus as a beer pub, the event still delivers a solid sense of special occasion worthy of an anniversary. It feels very much like EKIZONOFRANK, with the fun of choosing a drink in front of the taps and the sense of closeness to the shop both coming through at once. For anyone looking for an anniversary beer in Kobe Sannomiya, this is one to put at the top of the list for the first drink of the day.
