MugiA taiko show at a brewery!? Beer and taiko sounds like the bubbles might start drumming too!
Hop BroIt’s on October 10, 2026, with two performances at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Spicy Brothers parking area—and admission is free.
MugiI know the name Kodo, but who are they? Are they basically a professional taiko troupe?
Hop BroExactly. Kodo is a taiko performing-arts group based on Sado Island and known worldwide; this close setting should reveal movement and breathing as well as the sound.
MugiBreathing too!? My heart is going to start keeping a four-on-the-floor beat all by itself!
Hop BroAnd you can enjoy beer brewed at the brewery. No specific beer name or style has been announced, but a fresh brewery pour belongs perfectly with live taiko.
MugiSo the beer style is a surprise! Then I want to find a beautifully aromatic beer strong enough to stand up to those deep drums.
Hop BroThere will be snacks for children, and the event moves indoors if it rains. Parking is limited, so please use public transportation or nearby lots—no street parking.
MugiGot it! On October 10, I’m heading to 486-7 Matsuyama, Murakami with empty ears and an empty glass. Let’s toast in the taiko afterglow, Hop Bro!
