HEAVY SASORI BREWING to Exhibit at First-Ever Festival Starting May 2, With Store Operations Continuing

Hop BroHEAVY SASORI BREWING in Naha is making its first appearance at the Chanpuru~ Festival. The buzz about it heating up for three days starting May 2 near Makishi Station at Saion Square is pretty exciting.
MugiWhat! First appearance sounds amazing! Even the event alone is interesting, but does that mean the shop is open too?
Hop BroExactly. The taproom is open on Saturday, May 2 from 17:00 to 24:00. Since you can go back and forth between the festival venue and the shop, it feels a bit like bar hopping.
MugiI get bar hopping, but what even is a taproom? How is that different from a bar?
Hop BroSimply put, it's a place attached to the brewery where you can drink. HEAVY SASORI BREWING has an attached brewpub, so the nice part is being able to enjoy the atmosphere of where it's made, too.
MugiI see! And if admission is free, that makes it easy to go. Free for all three days is almost too generous, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's another key point: it's a three-day event on May 2 (Sat), 3 (Sun), and 4 (Mon, holiday). And every day, for the first two hours after opening, they have happy hour, so you can drink the staff-recommended beers at a good price.
MugiWait, recommended beer at a discount! But can you just walk around drinking it? Spilling it on Kokusai Street would be a disaster!
Hop BroThey've thought of that too, and you can take it out in a plastic cup. You can carry the original beer made at the brewery and enjoy it casually on the way back from the venue.
MugiGot it! It's near Makishi Station, and it's not Naha Prefecture, it's 3-9-14-2 Makishi, Naha, Okinawa Prefecture.
Hop BroFood L.O. is 23:00 and drink L.O. is 23:30, so you can take your time into the night. Hitting the festival first, then settling down at the shop for another drink afterward, that's basically the best Golden Week strategy in Naha.
MugiIt's all set! Let's do the two-pronged approach of venue and shop, starting with the festival and then a drink afterward.
The HEAVY SASORI BREWING taproom will be open on Saturday, May 2, from 17:00 to 24:00. In a post, the brewery announced that it will make its first appearance over the three days of Saturday, May 2; Sunday, May 3; and Monday, May 4 (national holiday) at the "Chanpuru~ Festival 2026" held at the Saion Square station-front plaza near Makishi Station. The event is free to enter, and the highlight this time is that visitors can enjoy themselves while moving between the venue and the store.
For beer, the brewery will run a two-hour happy hour from opening each day and offer the staff-recommended beers at a better price. In addition, the original beer brewed at the brewery will be available for takeout, handed over in a plastic cup. It is also envisioned as something to enjoy while walking along Kokusai Street, making it a good drink before or after the event.
The store is a brewpub located at 3-9-14-2 Makishi, Naha, Okinawa Prefecture. Food L.O. is 23:00, and drink L.O. is 23:30, making its late-night hours another appealing point. Because the store remains open even on festival days, it should be easy to enjoy the lively atmosphere at the venue and then settle in at the taproom for another drink. It looks like it will be a day in Naha during Golden Week where you can enjoy both the event and the shop.
