Hop BroAt Osaka's Hanaten Brewery Holiday Beer, there's going to be "Bōzu Night vol. 4" on April 4. It's an event where you can casually listen to talks about Buddhism while drinking beer, and this time the theme is stories about Buddha.
MugiWait, the name Bōzu Night already catches my attention! It sounds super serious, but is it really relaxed?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: it's not a difficult lecture. This time, a monk from Daitsuji Temple of the Yuzu Nenbutsu sect will be the speaker, and in line with Hana Matsuri on April 8, you can listen to stories about Buddha while drinking.
MugiYuzu Nenbutsu sect? Those kanji are intense! Is this monk talk something I can actually understand?
Hop BroOf course. To put it simply, it's a night for gently getting in touch with Buddhism. Rather than piling up specialized terms, the important thing is the feeling that you can say, "Huh, I see," with a beer in hand.
MugiThen I'm relieved! And the venue is a brewery with an attached beer bar? That's amazing, isn't it? Being able to drink beer made on the spot is almost unfair!
Hop BroExactly. Holiday Beer lets you enjoy house-made craft beer on the spot, and they also have bottled beer for souvenirs. In a corner of the shopping street, that closeness to the maker is what makes it great.
MugiBut the food listed as "we have enlightenment and earthly desires" is too strong as a menu item, isn't it? It feels like my mind is being tested while I'm hungry!
Hop BroThat playful spirit is very much like this place. And since participation requires ordering at least one drink per person, it's a style where you properly enjoy the beer while listening.
MugiNice! If it starts at 8:00 p.m. on April 4, I might be able to go after work, and the Buddhist talk plus beer should loosen up both my head and my mood!
Hop BroIn the end, I think I'd want to spend that night gently getting in touch with Buddhism together with beer. After listening to stories about Buddha and having a drink, it somehow feels sacred, and I think I'd get thirsty again right away.
Hanaten Brewery Holiday Beer, located in a shopping street in front of Hanaten Station in Tsurumi Ward, Osaka City, will host "Bōzu Night vol. 4" from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 4.
This time, the theme is "Stories About Buddha."

The venue, Holiday Beer, is a craft beer shop that combines a brewery and a standing beer bar. You can enjoy house-made craft beer on the spot, and bottled beers for souvenirs are also available. In a corner of the shopping street, you can enjoy beer close to the maker while also taking part in an event, which is distinctive to this shop.
