Hop BroKawaguchi Brewery is really going for it with its 25 Fest booth at Urawa-Misono Station.
MugiWait, a festival at a station? And it's called the Onarimichi Post Town Market? That already sounds fun!
Hop BroThe highlight this time is the debut of the miso katsu sandwich. It uses Kawaguchi Onarimichi miso, so the local identity comes through clearly.
MugiWhat? Made to look like the character for river? So it was designed to resemble Kawaguchi's 'kawa'?
Hop BroExactly. I like that they added a playful touch. And the beer lineup is a three-pack of Mugi Miso Beer, Onarimichi Ale, and White Lilly Weizen.
MugiOhhh! But Weizen is the one with that soft wheat character, right?
Hop BroThat's right. Weizen usually uses wheat malt, so it has a fluffy mouthfeel. That makes it a perfect match for the sandwich.
MugiMiso katsu sandwich, ale, and Weizen... it's basically a trap for tasting your way through the lineup! And there's bottle sales too, so I want to take some home!
Hop BroAnd on top of that there's Suzuko's hands-on experience next door, so it's an event where you're busy touching, tapping, eating, and drinking.
MugiIf it's open until 4:00 p.m., I might just make it! But the shop is rented out after 6:00 p.m., so let's drink at the venue first and then make a plan!
Kawaguchi Brewery is taking part in the "Onarimichi Post Town Market" being held within "25 Fest" at Urawa-Misono Station. The venue features bottled beers that reflect the character of the brewpub, along with event-exclusive food items.
The highlight this time is the debut of the miso katsu sandwich made with Kawaguchi Onarimichi miso. The post also notes that the finished sandwich is arranged so it resembles the kanji for "river" in Kawaguchi, presenting it as a playful, locally inspired dish. It is a menu item that lets visitors enjoy flavors rooted in the area alongside beer.
The bottled beers on sale are Mugi Miso Beer, Onarimichi Ale, and White Lilly Weizen. In addition to the miso-based beer, the lineup includes a standard ale and a Weizen that suggests a soft, wheat-driven drinkability, giving visitors plenty of room for comparison tasting. It should be enjoyable either paired with the sandwich or savored one bottle at a time.
At the venue, a mini workshop by Suzuko is also being held next door, where visitors can touch and tap tin as part of the experience. It is turning into an event where people can enjoy not just beer, but also craftsmanship and the feel of materials.
