Restaurant Platz to pour two AQLA draft beers at Hirokoji Bazaar on July 20
Restaurant Platz, a beer pub in downtown Akita, will join the Hirokoji Bazaar on Monday, July 20. The lineup includes draft pours of Otsuna Beer and Kanto Ale, plus a two-beer tasting option.
Hop BroA perfect summer stroll story just landed: Restaurant Platz is setting up at Hirokoji Bazaar on July 20, 2026, and serving two draft Akura beers.
MugiWait, what! A festival vibe with craft beer sounds amazing, and they even have a two-beer tasting? That just shot onto my summer list!
Hop BroThe lineup is Otsuna Bakushu and Kanto Ale, and both are on draft. Beer like that feels extra lively outdoors, especially the aroma.
MugiHold on, what does draft mean here? It sounds fancy, like I need to unlock a beer skill tree first!
Hop BroIt only sounds technical. It means beer poured from a keg, so you get that fresh-from-the-tap feel, plus great foam and brightness.
MugiOhhh, got it! So at an outdoor event it’s like freshness turned up? My throat is already stretching for the first sip!
Hop BroAnd Kanto Ale is a golden ale brewed with rice from Akita City. That should make it light, easy to drink, and very summery.
MugiNo way, beer with rice? I’m into that. Akita summer in a glass sounds like sightseeing and happy hour at the same time!
Hop BroOtsuna Bakushu matters too because it’s a collaboration beer, and the snack setup is dialed in with a trio platter, chilled edamame, and iburigakko.
MugiThat settles it, I want a cheers on the car-free street, then a side-by-side tasting with iburigakko chasing every sip. Now I really want to drink this!
Event Details
Restaurant Platz will appear at the Hirokoji Bazaar, a summer street market in Akita City. The event is scheduled for July 20, 2026 (Monday, national holiday), and the venue will be the pedestrian-only Hirokoji area in central Akita.
Beers on the Menu
The post highlights two draft beers:
- Otsuna Beer: A craft beer brewed by Akita AQLA Beer, developed in collaboration with the Osawago local revitalization group.
- Kanto Ale: A special beer from Akita AQLA Beer, brewed with rice grown in Akita City. It is a golden ale designed as a summer beer for Akita.
A two-beer tasting set is also planned, making it possible to compare the two beers side by side.
Food Pairings
Alongside the beers, the post lists several snacks: a three-item appetizer platter, chilled edamame, and iburigakko pickles served either sliced or whole. That makes the stand a practical stop for visitors who want a quick drink and a light bite while walking through the market.
