Sakazuki Lab in Kita-Senju, Adachi Ward, Tokyo is hosting an "Obon Summer Festival Week" from August 12 to 16. On Friday, August 14, the taproom opens at 5:00 p.m. with nagashi somen, seasonal dipping broths, and ice-cold bottled beer.
Hop BroSakazuki Lab in Kitasenju is running an Obon Summer Festival Week from August 12 to 16, and the whole place is basically in vacation mode.
MugiWhat! A beer bar doing a festival week is too much information already. What exactly is happening there?
Hop BroThe headliner is nagashi somen, and if you order a dipping broth you get all-you-can-eat somen. The broths go from chilled soup style to plum to curry.
MugiNo way! The broth is the star now. Coriander beef broth does not sound like a normal street-stall move at all!
Hop BroThat is exactly why it works. There is even sea bream and pork double stock with cold shabu, so it turns into a tasting heaven.
MugiOkay, nice, but what beer do you pair with that? With somen, the flavor could get lost fast.
Hop BroThat is where Sakazuki Lab's flagship shy girl comes in. It is a Bohemian Pilsner, so it links the food together without getting heavy.
MugiBohemian Pilsner suddenly sounds technical. What kind of magic is that supposed to be?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is a Czech-leaning pilsner: crisp, but still carrying a real grain aroma. And this event is pouring a fresh new batch.
MugiOh wow, and then they also have icy Akaboshi as tub-chilled bottled beer? That is aggressively summer.
Hop BroFriday the 14th opens at 5 p.m., and with the family-friendly setup you get a full summer-night combo in one place.
MugiThat settles it. Just imagining somen next to shy girl is enough to make me want a drink now.
Sakazuki Lab in Kita-Senju, Adachi Ward, Tokyo is running an "Obon Summer Festival Week" from Wednesday, August 12 through Sunday, August 16. On Friday, August 14, the venue opens at 5:00 p.m., offering a summer-minded food-and-drink program inside the taproom.
Nagashi somen and a wide range of broths
The main draw is nagashi somen. Guests who order the broth can enjoy all the somen they want. The lineup includes sesame-scented chilled broth with grilled mackerel, chilled broth with steamed chicken and bonito-laced plum, a red chicken curry broth with chicken wings, a classic fish broth with both sea bream and pork plus chilled shabu-shabu, and a Vietnamese-style broth with coriander and beef stock.
Street-stall feel with craft beer
For a more festival-like touch, the bar is also serving ice-cold bottled Asahi Super Dry in the classic "dobuzuke" style. Sakazuki Lab's regular Bohemian pilsner, "shy girl," has also been moved to a new batch, making the event more appealing for beer drinkers who want to pair food with a familiar house beer.
A summer night in Adachi
Known in Adachi Ward for combining drinks, food, and seasonal menus, Sakazuki Lab uses this event to bring together festival dishes, chilled beer, and an indoor setting that works well for a late-summer night out. It is a straightforward seasonal offer, built around comfort, variety, and beer-friendly food.
