Hop BroToday, Kamihei Shuzo's tasting and sales event is being held at KiKiZAKEYA inside Morioka Station. On April 29, 2026, the fact that you can drop in casually right at the station is a big plus.
MugiWhat! You can taste it at the station? Held inside Morioka Station sounds like the kind of place that would pull you in even if you were just passing by.
Hop BroAnd it’s not just a tasting, either. You can try both seasonal sake and craft beer. Brewery staff will also be on the sales floor, so it’s great that you can ask questions on the spot.
MugiWhat is that! Getting both sake and beer is enough to make any greedy drink lover celebrate. And having the staff themselves there is incredibly reassuring!
Hop BroKamihei Shuzo is a brewery in Tono City, Iwate Prefecture, and it makes drinks rooted in Tono’s rice and hops. Its official materials also promote sake and BEER from Tono, which makes the local character really clear and interesting.
MugiOh, I see! But the hops are the same hops used for beer, right? Is Tono really such a good place for beer, not just rice?
Hop BroExactly. Hops are an important ingredient that gives beer its aroma and bitterness. Kamihei Shuzo also runs the Tono Beer / TONO BEER and KAMIHEI BREWING brands, and since it has a seasonal brewing line, the expression changes each time you visit, which is part of the fun.
MugiI see, so with a seasonal brewing line, the flavors you can encounter change depending on when you go. That kind of thing really sparks the urge to collect them all...!
Hop BroAnd this time it’s inside the station, so you can stop by while you're on the move. It’s a perfect day both for people who already know the classics and for those trying the taste of Tono for the first time.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! If I can taste it directly in Morioka, I want to compare Tono’s beer and sake for myself.
