Hop BroBreaking news! Komatsu Brewing from Komatsu City, Ishikawa, is heading to "Craft Beer Marche in NANTO2026" on April 4. And it's their first-ever out-of-prefecture booth!
MugiWhoa! Their first time outside the prefecture? That's basically a historic event! Where is it happening?
Hop BroAt Oyabe River Park in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, from 11:00 to 16:00. It's the perfect spot, with Hokuriku craft breweries gathering outdoors during cherry blossom season.
MugiNice! Have they announced the beer names or styles yet? IPA? Lager?
Hop BroNot at the time of the post. But Komatsu Brewing is known for making use of Hokuriku water and local ingredients. Their event beer should be really exciting.
MugiJust hearing "local ingredients" makes it sound delicious... Wait, what did you mean by a "taproom base" earlier? Is that like a secret hideout?
Hop BroPretty close to a secret hideout! A taproom is a place where you can drink beer poured right there from the brewery. Komatsu Brewing also has the cool touch of being set up in a renovated historic house called "Komatsu Machiya."
MugiThat's amazing! Craft beer in a historic house? You're drinking the atmosphere too!
Hop BroOn top of that, this event is being held as a Noto support initiative, and more vendors are expected than last time. Being able to enjoy beer while supporting the region is a great direction.
MugiWow, I can already see the beer tasting not stopping!
Hop BroThen let's go with a flight on the day. That means tasting several styles in small pours, so you can find your favorite as fast as possible!
MugiDeal! On April 4, let's head to Nanto and raise a glass to Komatsu Brewing's first out-of-prefecture pour!
On March 9, KOMATSU BREWING announced on its official Instagram account that it would be setting up a booth at the craft beer event "Craft Beer Marche in NANTO2026," to be held in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, and described it as its "first out-of-prefecture booth."
The event details shared in the post are as follows.
- Event name: Craft Beer Marche in NANTO2026
- Date and time: Saturday, April 4, 2026, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Venue: Oyabe River Park (Fukumitsu, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture)
The post also said that this edition will be held as a Noto support initiative, and that the number of participating vendors is expected to be larger than last time. It looks set to become a place where breweries and food vendors from across the Hokuriku area gather, further encouraging cross-regional craft beer exchange.
According to its official website, Komatsu Brewing grand opened on November 8, 2025 as the first craft beer brewery in Komatsu City, Ishikawa. Based in a taproom renovated from a historic house called "Komatsu Machiya," the brewery has been producing beers that make use of Hokuriku water and local ingredients, while also taking part in events and community projects. This out-of-prefecture appearance marks its first step toward expanding its activities beyond Ishikawa.
What kind of pint will this new brewery from Ishikawa pour at an outdoor event that overlaps with Toyama's cherry blossom season? For craft beer fans in Hokuriku, it seems like a great chance to taste and compare beers on site.
