The Weekend Brings the Sakura Festival
On Saturday, April 5 and Sunday, April 6, the "Sakura Festival" will be held. Doors open at 10:30 a.m., with sales starting at 11:00 a.m., and the operation will focus mainly on the outdoor area.

April 25: Tsuyuhakaze Tasting Session
On Saturday, April 25, a participatory seminar titled "A Gathering to Enjoy Tsuyuhakaze: "Tasting Session Edition"" will be held, centered on Tsuyuhakaze, a sake rice variety unique to Nara Prefecture. Applications are now being accepted for the tasting session edition, where participants can compare Japanese sakes made with Tsuyuhakaze and check how the flavor changes depending on differences in the rice and brewing process.
Although the post does not specify individual beer labels, it says that the spring Brew Park will offer many limited-edition sake and beers. With cherry blossoms along the Takadagawa River as a backdrop, it is the perfect season to enjoy a drink while spending time on the grass. It is also easy to access, just an 8-minute walk from Hashio Station, and admission is free, making it an easy place to stop by casually.
