Hop BroKagoya Brewery in Komae is doing the 24th Night Run on April 10. What makes this project good is that it’s not just about finishing the run, but also enjoying the final drink at the end.
MugiWhat, a beer after running!? That’s insanely awesome. The run-and-then-a-drink flow is such a strong idea!
Hop BroExactly. Kagoya Brewery was originally born from Kagoya Akimoto Shoten, a sake specialty shop, and it was established in 2017 as Komae City’s first brewery.
MugiI see! So it’s not just an event, it has a local feel. By the way, isn’t fun running, fun drinking a little too catchy?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it good. It’s a slogan that connects the fun of running and drinking, and the Jogging Club has grown into a community exchange event.
MugiBut a night run means running at night? Huh, isn’t it dark? Or is it the kind where you feel like an adventure that just feels like night while running?
Hop BroYou really do run at night. And Kagoya Brewery is also particular about local hops and brewing in wooden vats, which is interesting because it keeps up beer making rooted in the land.
MugiWooden-vat brewing suddenly feels super artisanal! Beer is an overly deep drink even from the perspective of a running event.
Hop BroExactly. And they champion Japanese beer that pairs with washoku, so even the drink after a run makes you think about how well it goes with a meal.
MugiGot it, I definitely want to join! I want to run, laugh, toast at the end, and feel a night-run vibe in Komae!
Hop BroThat flow feels the most natural. On April 10, I want to leave just enough enjoyment for one more drink after the run.
MugiYeah, I want to prepare my jogging shoes and my beer feelings right now! A toast after running is definitely going to taste amazing.
Run at Night, Finish with a Pint
Kagoya Brewery will hold the 24th "Kagoya Jogging Club" Night Run on Friday, April 10, 2026. As the title suggests, this time’s event is a night run and the latest installment in the Jogging Club series that has continued over time.
A Brewery Born from a Sake Specialty Shop
Kagoya Brewery is a brewery born from the sake specialty shop "Kagoya Akimoto Shoten" in Komae, Tokyo. According to official information, it was established in 2017 as Komae City’s first brewery, and it has continued making locally rooted alcohol by using hops grown by local farmers and brewing in wooden vats. Its stance of offering Japanese beer that pairs with washoku is also part of this brewery’s distinct character.
A Place That Embodies "Fun Running, Fun Drinking"
On e-moshicom, Kagoya Jogging Club is introduced as a jogging circle built around the concept of "fun running, fun drinking." The design, which brings people together through running and includes the time after exercise as part of the experience, is a good fit for a craft beer brewery. Rather than being just a running event, what makes it interesting is that it has grown into a place where local people naturally come together.
Connected to the Brewery’s "Place-Making"
Kagoya Brewery also operates "Kagoya Beer Stand," a craft beer specialty shop in front of Izumi-Tamagawa Station, and promotes it as a place that "connects people with people, and people with nature." This night run can be seen as an extension of that effort. In the local setting of Komae, it naturally links running and drinking. As an event that feels distinctly Kagoya, it is once again drawing attention.
