OIRASE BEER Introduces Tomomaru Karaage for Oktoberfest 2026
OIRASE BEER announced Tomomaru Karaage as one of the food vendors for OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026, to be held on September 19 and 20 at Oirase Roman Park Roadside Station. The stall will serve karaage marinated in a secret sauce from a Chinese restaurant with more than 45 years of history in Kagawa.
Hop BroMugi, the OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026 at Roadside Station Oirase Roman Park on September 19 and 20 already sounds like the kind of event that makes you hungry before you even arrive.
MugiWhat, a beer event that attacks my stomach too!? The featured vendor is Tomomaru Karaage? That name already feels unfair!
Hop BroAnd that fried chicken is marinated in a secret house sauce from a Chinese restaurant in Kagawa that has been around for more than 45 years, with the Chinese-style karaage as the recommended item.
MugiWhoa! But if the karaage is that strong, the beer is going to start showing off with foam just to keep up, right!?
Hop BroThat is where Oirase Brewery in Towada, Aomori comes in. They have been brewing Oirase Beer since 1997 with Oirase spring water, so the pairing foundation is solid.
MugiSpring water sounds intense! But Hop Bro, you said it so casually. What even is spring water? Is it some overpowered mountain-boss water?
Hop BroBasically, it is clean water that has filtered through soil and forest, and less roughness in the water can help the beer taste cleaner. That is why styles like weizen can really show off their soft aroma.
MugiNo way! So weizen was not a spell after all! You mean it is basically a wheat beer?
Hop BroThat is pretty close. At the event you can enjoy staples like pilsner, dark lager, amber lager, and weizen, and the whole thing is an admission-free festival, which makes it even better.
MugiThat lineup being free is ridiculous! If I can enjoy beer and karaage while soaking up the Oirase and Towada atmosphere, I am absolutely going to want a drink on September 19 and 20!
