Akita Akura Beer and Lamb BBQ Collaboration Event Held at Restaurant Platz
As a related project by Akita Akura Beer, which operates Restaurant Platz in Omachi, Akita City, a collaboration event combining lamb BBQ and all-you-can-drink craft beer will be held on May 16. This reservation-only event is being organized in cooperation with Akita Bokujo and Meat Square Kawabata Rooftop.
Event Highlights
Restaurant Platz in Omachi, Akita City, is a beer pub known as a direct-operated shop of Akita Akura Beer. Set in a renovated former sake brewery, the interior has a calm atmosphere where warmth of wood and a sense of solidity coexist, making it a place suited to people who want to savor Akura Beer at a relaxed pace. The shop guide also introduces it as a place where you can enjoy Akura Beer, a local beer long loved as Akita City's first craft beer.
This collaboration is the first project involving Akita Akura Beer, Akita Bokujo, and Meat Square Kawabata Rooftop. The highlight is that lamb raised on spent malt from beer brewing is turned into BBQ by professionals. With food circularity as its theme, the event puts the appeal of lamb and craft beer pairing front and center.
