On Wednesday, May 6, Kagoya Brewery will hold an event called "Oomugi Daienkai" in the barley field behind its main shop in Komae, Tokyo, combining a brewery tour and sketching. The event is limited to the first 60 participants, and canned beer sales plus bring-your-own food and drinks will also be available.
Hop BroToday, I'm talking about the interactive event that Kagoya Brewery is holding on May 6 in the barley field behind its main shop.
MugiWhat! A beer event is being held in the barley field behind the main shop!? The scenery already sounds amazing!
Hop BroExactly. The event is called Oomugi Daienkai, and the best part is being able to toast while looking at the golden barley just before harvest.
MugiWhat is that, there's even sketching!? Isn't that way too much fun beyond just drinking?
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. There will also be a brewery tour, so you can experience not just the beer but the actual brewing site and the people behind it.
MugiOhh! So it's like a craft experience where you tour the fields and the brewery before the beer.
Hop BroAt the venue, you can buy cans of Enketsu/Kakyu beer for 500 yen each, and bringing in light meals and snacks is also OK.
MugiWait, you can bring your own food!? That means you can enjoy it with a total picnic vibe!
Hop BroAnd Kagoya Brewery is Komae's first brewery, launched by the liquor store Koya Akimoto Shoten, and it has also taken on challenges like using wooden barrels.
MugiOhh! If you can taste the local barley and the brewery's history too, it really feels like more than just a single drink.
Hop BroYeah, seeing the fields, learning how it's made, and finishing with a drink is such a great flow, so this is definitely an event where the two of us should go have a drink.
MugiLet's go, let's go! I'm already in the mood to toast in the golden barley field today!
Kagoya Brewery will hold a special event called "Oomugi Daienkai" at the barley field behind its main shop from around 10:00 to 13:00 on Wednesday, May 6, a public holiday. In an Instagram announcement, the event was described as a chance to enjoy a brewery tour, sketching, and a photo session while toasting in a golden barley field just before harvest. Participation is limited to the first 60 people, and applications can be made through the Google Form in the profile. At the venue, cans of "Enketsu/Kakyu" beer will be sold for 500 yen each, and light meals and snacks may also be brought in.
Kagoya Brewery is Komae's first craft beer brewery, launched in 2017 by Koya Akimoto Shoten, a specialty liquor store in Komae City, Tokyo. Its official website says the brewery has continued taking on new challenges, including brewing with wooden barrels, while drawing on the experience of a long-established liquor shop. True to a brewery rooted in a liquor store, it stands out not only for the beer itself but also for sharing the backgrounds of the people who make it and the ingredients they use.
This event clearly reflects that approach as well. The format, which lets visitors see the brewing operation on a brewery tour, taste canned beer amid the scenery of the fields, and even add sketching and photography, goes beyond simply "drinking" craft beer. It should be a chance to see firsthand the barley grown in Komae and the work of a brewery rooted in the local community.
