Anoné in Shimosuwa Town, Nagano Prefecture, will host "Bread, Sake, and Snacks Day Vol. 1" from 4:00 p.m. on May 6. In its post, the venue says it will offer Pavot.'s bread and snacks that pair well with bread at Anoné, and that the drinks lineup will include multiple options such as craft beer made with bread, natural wine, and gin. The event is basically standing-room only, and payment is cash only. Regular lunch service will continue until 2:00 p.m.

What catches beer fans' attention about this event is that craft beer made with bread is one of the main attractions. Better life with upcycle is a brewery based in Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture, and it grew out of a bakery founded in 1923. Its official website also highlights efforts to give new value to food loss such as bread crusts, and the brewery continues to make beers that make use of bread-derived ingredients.

This announcement comes from Anoné, but the concept of pairing bread with alcohol naturally connects with the background Better life with upcycle has built up. By matching bread with beer that is also born from bread, the event looks set to offer a chance to experience both the circular use of ingredients and how well they pair together. Its convenient location, just a five-minute walk from Shimosuwa Station, also makes it one to watch as a relaxed way to spend the final night of Golden Week.
