Hop BroYou know, in Susukino, Sapporo, Nemoto Saketen is doing Sip Trip Sapporo on June 27. The venue is the third-floor event space at COCONO SUSUKINO, and the big draw is that admission is free.
MugiWait, it's free to get in!? And you can enjoy it from just one drink? That's the kind of thing you can just drop by for!
Hop BroExactly. The theme is set out on a journey in one sip, too. It's a pretty ambitious drinking crawl event, bringing together sake, whiskey, craft gin, craft beer, rum, and mead.
MugiMead? What is that! I've heard it's honey wine, but is it something beer fans can get into too?
Hop BroDefinitely. Broadly speaking, it's an alcoholic drink made by fermenting honey, and it often has a soft sweetness and aroma. Plus, craft beer will be there too, so it should be fun to compare the range of flavors in the same venue.
MugiI see, a deep rabbit hole of tasting! Which breweries are coming? This lineup shows off regional character, right?
Hop BroThat's one of the highlights. Sumikawa Beer and permanent from Hokkaido, Himitsu Beer from Mie, FETISH CLUB from Tokyo, FLORA FERMENTATION from Shiga, and open air from Hyogo are all exhibiting, so it really feels like a gathering from across Japan.
MugiWow, they sound strong just from the names! But Nemoto Saketen is a liquor store, and they're putting on an event like this too? A liquor shop with standing drinks feels kind of insider-ish, and I like that!
Hop BroExactly. They regularly handle a wide range of drinks centered on sake and whiskey, so offering something that goes beyond beer alone feels natural. That's what creates the fun of crossing genres.
MugiNow I really want to go! In the center of Susukino, if I can discover a drink I've never had before, that's perfect, and I want to start with whatever catches my eye.
Hop BroNice. Coming back to beer at the end is great too. Travel with a drink you're not used to, then finish with one more craft beer - that's the perfect flow.
MugiIt's settled! Let's gather in Susukino on June 27 and take a drink like a journey. I already have the feeling I'll want to hit one more place on the way home!
