Hop BroRokko Island is heating up today. IN THA DOOR BREWING’s R.I.C. Party is happening on Sunday, March 22 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and the whole town is in drink-in-the-streets mode!
MugiReally? I want to go! And I heard it’s no reservation required and free admission. Can you really just drop in like that?
Hop BroOf course. The venue is the Island Center Event Plaza on Rokko Island, and it’s god-tier access just a two-minute walk from the station.
MugiNice! Being that close to the station saves even a person like me who gets lost easily. And changing it to a Sunday event is way too kind to people who can’t make weekdays!
Hop BroExactly. It was originally set for Wednesday, March 18, but rain caused a postponement, so this time it’s an irregular edition with a minimum four-vendor lineup.
MugiEven four vendors sounds pretty rich... But what does IN THA DOOR mean by hyper-local? It sounds like a spell!
Hop BroSimply put, it’s the idea of creating a reason to drink locally by making use of Kobe water and local ingredients. In other words, it’s a pint rooted in the neighborhood.
MugiThat’s amazing! So what about the beer names or styles this time? Are we getting IPA or sour styles?
Hop BroThe exact names and styles are a surprise for the day, but with CIRCUS, Otemo-to, and LAGOM COFFEE ROASTERY there too, it’s best to go in with food pairings in mind if you want to win.
MugiIf there’s even a projection-mapping show on the UFO, then it’s basically a full festival! I’m already in local pint mode, so let’s go drink together, Hop!
Rokko Island’s “local night” returns with a Sunday event
IN THA DOOR BREWING announced “ROKKO ISLAND CITY PARTY -CENTRAL- (R.I.C. Party)”. It will be held on Sunday, March 22, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Rokko Island Island Center Event Plaza. The nearest station is Rokko Liner’s “Island Center Station,” just a two-minute walk from the ticket gate. The event is open to drop in with no reservation required and free admission.
This edition comes after the originally planned session for Wednesday, March 18 was postponed because of rain. After adjustments among the vendors, it will be held as an “irregular” edition, shifted from the regular “third Wednesday night” to Sunday. The post says that although the lineup has been reduced from the original six vendors to four in a minimum setup, the food and drink offerings will still be fully prepared.
The vendors on the day are CIRCUS, Otemo-to, LAGOM COFFEE ROASTERY, and IN THA DOOR BREWING. The lineup ranges from side dishes that pair well with beer to sweets and coffee cocktails, making it easy for families to enjoy as well. The post also mentions a projection-mapping display projected onto a UFO, suggesting this will be more than just a food and drink event, but a true neighborhood gathering.
