Yokohama Beer Main Restaurant "UMAYA" will set up a stall at "Yokohama Dragon Boat Race 2026," held on the waters off Yamashita Park and in the park on May 30 and 31.

Hop BroThis year’s highlight is that Yokohama Beer’s main restaurant "UMAYA" is setting up a booth at Yamashita Park. It’s bringing the waterfront energy straight to Yokohama Dragon Boat Race 2026 on May 30 and 31.
MugiWhat! A beer place is coming to the dragon boat race!? I’d get so excited cheering that I might shout too much before I even have a drink!
Hop BroAnd UMAYA’s menu is great. The Taco Cheese Meat Pita Sandwich and the Roast Beef Pita Sandwich are both easy to eat one-handed, so they’re perfect for watching the races.
MugiPita sandwiches? What’s that! Being easy to eat one-handed means the ultimate setup with beer in one hand and cheering gear in the other, right?
Hop BroExactly. And what’s strong here is the beer delivered straight from the brewery. The freshly made feel of Yokohama Beer Brewery really does make a difference in how the aroma comes through.
MugiIs there really that much of a difference when it’s freshly made? That sounds suddenly very expert, but can you really tell by the way the aroma comes through?
Hop BroDefinitely. For example, the clean carbonation, the gentle sweetness of the malt, and the hop aroma all seem to bloom at once. Yokohama Beer keeps making beers that are traditional and never tiresome, so they’re not too flashy and pair well with food.
MugiI see, if you’re drinking while watching the race, it’s important that it’s easy to pair with food! If a beer kept demanding attention, it might overpower the cheering!
Hop BroYokohama Beer is a brewery based in Naka Ward, Yokohama, and it has the longest history in Yokohama City. Because it’s close to local ingredients and the city, this kind of event booth feels very natural.
MugiIt feels nice to have a local brewery at the venue. If you could drink while looking out at the sea at Yamashita Park, the early-summer viewing scene would instantly become a memory!
Hop BroExactly. Add pita sandwiches and beer to the excitement of the race, and it becomes an atmosphere where you just have to drink. This is definitely something I’d want to experience in person.
MugiI’m completely feeling that too! Just imagining a drink by the waterfront already made my throat ache, so I guess today I have no choice but to go drink beer!
Yokohama Beer Brewery, which operates Yokohama Beer Main Restaurant "UMAYA," will set up a booth at "Yokohama Dragon Boat Race 2026," to be held on Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31 on the waters off Yamashita Park in Yokohama City and in the park itself.
This time’s menu features the Taco Cheese Meat Pita Sandwich and the Roast Beef Pita Sandwich. Both are designed to be easy to eat one-handed, making them well suited to watching the races by the waterfront. Another appealing point for beer lovers is that they can be enjoyed together with freshly brewed craft beer delivered straight from the brewery.
Yokohama Beer is a local beer company based in Naka Ward, Yokohama. As the brewery with the longest history in Yokohama City, it has continued to make traditional beers that never get old. Its directly operated main restaurant "UMAYA" offers fresh beer and dishes made with ingredients from Kanagawa and Yokohama at a beer stand attached to the brewery, and this booth is an extension of that effort.
The dragon boat race held on the waters in front of Yamashita Park is one of the signature early-summer events in Yokohama. By adding a locally brewed beer and food to the excitement of watching the races, the time spent at the venue is likely to become even more enjoyable.
