MugiWait, they don't just guide you to the event, they guide you all the way to the shop? That's insanely helpful for first-time visitors!
Hop BroAnd the venue is Agora Plaza and Oyanagi Street in front of Akita Station, with the festival running until May 10. It's open from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on the final day it ends at 5:00 p.m.
MugiOh wow! So there are spring gourmet food stalls too, not just beer. When I hear festival, I can already feel my stomach growling before I even start drinking!
Hop BroSunao Brewery is a brewery in Yokote City, and I like their attitude of being kind to nature and kind to people. They aim to make beer that feels like it carries the atmosphere of the land itself by using Yokote-grown hops and local ingredients.
MugiThe atmosphere of the land? What is that, like Akita mixed into the hop aroma? You suddenly turned into a poet!
Hop BroPut simply, it means they're expressing a locally rooted flavor through beer. Since they also started taproom service in February 2024, they've created a flow where people who get interested at the event can head straight to their base of operations.
MugiAnd it's only about a 3-minute walk from the station, right? You go via the covered walkway? Being able to get there without getting lost, even in rain or snow, is basically unbeatable, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. It's about a 3-minute walk from the ticket gates, so it's easy to have a drink at the event and then drop by the shop if you like what you taste. The note saying staff are waiting at the venue entrance is also very practical.
MugiDrinking at the event and then drinking at the shop too - they've totally got us on an Akita beer tour! If we go, we're not coming back, are we?
Hop BroThat's the spirit. First a drink at the venue, then a drink at the shop. If there's even a route that lets you go straight from the station to the shop, that's reason enough to go out for drinks.
