Hop BroAt Esprat Fujispark in Fuji City, an Instagram post said "Only 2 days left until the event." It looks like a pretty substantial event centered on Fugaku Beer and rAven RED.
MugiWait! Is this place just a beer shop? A brewpub with lodging? That's way too much information!
Hop BroExactly. It's a multi-purpose facility in Obuchi, Fuji City, and its strength is that you can enjoy food and beer together. It even has sports facilities, so it's a perfect match for people coming back from training camps or tournaments.
MugiOhhh! So what does Fugaku Beer taste like? And what's an IPL anyway? Those letters suddenly seem to be doing real work!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, basically a lager with IPA-like aroma and bitterness on top of its crispness. Fugaku Beer is known for its solid body, rich finish, and moderate bitterness.
MugiThat sounds delicious! So what about rAven RED? A reddish-brown Dunkel already sounds tasty just from the color!
Hop BrorAven RED is the second release, introduced in 2021, and it's a Munich-style Dunkel with a strong malt aroma and sweetness. It also has a clear bitterness, so it's more robust than it looks.
MugiWhat, so the red one isn't just sweet? And it won a Japan gold award too? That's seriously impressive!
Hop BroExactly. And at FUJISPARK BBQ, they have beef, pork, hamburger patties, sausages, and even bone-in frankfurters, plus an all-you-can-drink plan. You can go empty-handed and don't have to clean up afterward, which is a big plus.
MugiThat's the best! If you can move, eat, and drink all in one place, the whole day is complete right there.
Hop BroExactly. I'd love to compare Fugaku Beer's IPL and rAven RED and really enjoy this experiential brewpub at the foot of Mount Fuji.
MugiYeah, yeah, this is the kind of place you just won't want to leave! I totally get the feeling of wanting to toast right now.
Key Points of the Post
On Instagram, the event announcement for Esprat Fujispark, which serves Fugaku Beer, was shared with a countdown that read, "Only 2 days left until the event!!!" Located in Obuchi, Fuji City, the facility is a multi-purpose brewpub with lodging and sports facilities, and its strength is that guests can enjoy food and beer together.
Beers Available
- Fugaku Beer: An original beer that began brewing in Fuji City in 2020. It is an IPL (India Pale Lager) made with barley malt and wheat malt, and is characterized by a solid body, a rich finish, and moderate bitterness.
- rAven RED: The second original craft beer, introduced in 2021. It is a reddish-brown Munich-style Dunkel made with special malt, and its hallmarks are malt aroma, sweetness, and a pronounced bitterness. It won a gold medal at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2022.
How to Enjoy the Facility
At FUJISPARK BBQ, in addition to a hearty BBQ set featuring beef, pork, hamburger patties, sausages, bone-in frankfurters, grilled rice balls, and vegetables, there is also an all-you-can-drink plan for Fugaku Beer and rAven RED. It is easy to use without bringing anything, and the fact that there is no cleanup makes it a great fit for training camps, tournaments, and group use.
Including its location as a sports base at the foot of Mount Fuji, this is less a place to simply "drink beer" and more a facility where you can build a full experience of "moving, eating, and drinking" all at once. Prompted by the event announcement, this is a place where you will want to start by comparing the satisfying malt-driven character of Fugaku Beer's IPL with the malty depth of rAven RED.
