DONZO Brewing to Set Up Shop at "LET'S Sakade Station VOL. 6" on March 27
Kagawa-based DONZO Brewing (Donzo Brewing) announced that it will have a booth at "LET'S Sakade Station VOL. 6," to be held in front of JR Sakaide Station on Friday, March 27, 2026. Due to redevelopment work in the station-front area, the event, which is usually held in April, will instead take place in March this year, and this is expected to be the final installment held at the current station front.
Hop BroThe Sakaide night is heating up. Kagawa's DONZO Brewing is setting up a booth at "LET'S Sakade Station VOL. 6," held in front of JR Sakaide Station on Friday, March 27, 2026.
MugiWait, is that like a craft beer festival in front of the station!?
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Because of the station-front redevelopment work, this one is being held in March, and it's positioned as a night to enjoy the current Sakaide Station front.
MugiOhh, but I still only kind of get the difference between "Kotoshira Kölsch" and "Kotoshira IPA"...!
Hop BroGood question. Kölsch is a light, easy-drinking style, while IPA has a strong hop aroma and bitterness. In other words, it feels like "a gentle glass" and "a glass that comes at you with aroma."
MugiWhat is that! That explanation suddenly makes sense! The beer beginner inside me is applauding!
Hop BroAnd it's a smart lineup because they're also offering the Kinryo Yuzu Beer Cocktail. It's an easy choice for both people used to beer and people trying it for the first time at an event.
MugiIf there's even a yuzu beer cocktail, I can invite friends and everyone will have something to enjoy!
Hop BroWhat's more, the tied-in "Senbero Passport" will also run through April 30. It's not just a one-day event; they've even built in a way to wander around Sakaide and drink as you go.
MugiDrinking a beer named after the place in front of the station before redevelopment starts feels kind of emotional...!
Hop BroIt's a moment when the local scenery and a glass connect. I'm starting to want to begin with Kotoshira IPA and finish with the yuzu.
MugiI'll toast with Kotoshira Kölsch and end with the yuzu! Now I definitely want to drink, so I'm clearing my schedule for March 27!
On March 9, DONZO Brewing announced on Instagram that it will have a booth at "LET'S Sakade Station VOL. 6." The venue is in front of JR Sakaide Station, and the event will run from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The post noted the schedule change due to redevelopment work in the station-front area, and positioned this edition as "a night to enjoy the present-day Sakaide Station front."
Planned Offerings for the Day
- Kotoshira Kölsch
- Kotoshira IPA
- Kinryo Yuzu Beer Cocktail
The lineup balances drinkability with distinctive aromas. In addition to two beers, the brewery will offer a beer cocktail made with yuzu, creating an easy-to-approach selection for both craft beer regulars and people trying it for the first time at the event.
An event tie-in promotion, the "Senbero Passport" (through April 30), was also announced. Rather than being limited to a single-day booth, the initiative is designed to encourage visitors to move around the city of Sakaide and enjoy food and drinks along the way.
Based in Kagawa, DONZO Brewing is a brewery that has repeatedly served at local events while promoting products named after local places. This booth appearance comes at a moment just before the station-front redevelopment, drawing attention as a place where the local scenery and a glass come together.
