Restaurant Platz to Join the 10th Akita Bar Street on July 18
Restaurant Platz, a beer pub in Akita's Omachi district, will take part in the 10th Akita Bar Street on July 18. The city-hopping event uses electronic tickets for up to five stops, putting a brewery-linked venue in the spotlight for beer fans.
Hop BroWe need to talk about the 10th Akita Bar-Gai on July 18. Restaurant Platz is joining, and that is very good news for craft beer fans.
MugiWhat, five stops on one e-ticket? That sounds amazing, but my excitement is already acting like stop number six!
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 2 p.m. to midnight, and each place serves one drink and one dish. Plus Restaurant Platz in Omachi is easy to work into a bar-hopping route.
MugiNice! One drink and one dish each means I can sample a lot without fully committing and immediately regretting my stomach. What beers are they known for?
Hop BroTheir regular lineup includes Akita Bijin no Beer, a Munich Helles, the bitter and fruity Namahage IPA, and Akitakomachi IPL made with local Akita rice.
MugiHold on, Munich Helles and IPL sound like a homework assignment from wizard school. What do they actually taste like?
Hop BroHelles is smooth and easy with clear malt flavor, while IPL keeps a crisp lager feel but adds brighter hop character. Think soft and malty versus crisp and aromatic.
MugiThat already sounds fun, and then you tell me there's beer brewed with Akita rice? Also Sakihokore Brut IPA sounds way too stylish for me.
Hop BroThat local angle is the charm. Akita Ginjo Beer brings fragrant ginjo notes, Kodaimai Amber has deeper richness, and Sakihokore Brut IPA finishes dry, so local ingredients in the glass really come through with the food.
MugiI am fully ready to reserve the night of July 18 now. Start me at Platz and let me eat, sip, and happily lose all sense of self-control.
On Saturday, July 18, Restaurant Platz in Akita's Omachi district will take part in the 10th Akita Bar Street. The event runs from 2:00 p.m. to midnight and uses electronic tickets that cover up to five venues, with each stop offering one drink and one dish.
Restaurant Platz sits in the same Omachi area associated with Akita Aqula Beer, making it a natural fit for a bar-hopping event like this. The brewery's current product page lists six core beers that help define its lineup:
- Akita Bijin no Beer: an easy-drinking Munich Helles
- Namahage IPA: a bitter, fruity IPA
- Akita Komachi IPL: an IPL brewed with Akita Komachi rice
- Akita Ginjyo Beer: a rich, nigori-style beer with ginjo aroma
- Kodai Mai Amber: a rice beer brewed with ancient rice
- Sakihokore Brut IPA: a crisp, fruity Brut IPA with Akita-grown ingredients
For craft-beer fans, that lineup gives useful context for the house style behind Platz. The event format also makes the stop easy to slot into a relaxed evening of tasting, walking, and moving on at your own pace.
