OIRASE BEER spotlights Tosa-Shimizu straw grilling for Oktoberfest 2026
Oirase Brewery has shared an exhibitor introduction for OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026, set for September 19 and 20 at Michi-no-Eki Oirase Roman Park. The post highlights live straw-grilling from Kochi’s Tosa-Shimizu area.
Hop BroI want to start with OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026 because this vendor update is seriously tempting. It’s happening on September 19 and 20 at Oirase Roman Park Roadside Station, and admission is free.
MugiWait, a free admission event with craft beer, food, and music? That sounds almost suspiciously generous!
Hop BroOne of the main names here is Oirase Brewery. They’re based in Towada, Aomori, and they brew beer using spring source water from Oirase, fed by the Hakkoda underground water system.
MugiHold on, Hakkoda underground water suddenly sounds like science class. Does that water make you smarter, or just thirstier?
Hop BroMore the second one. It basically means naturally filtered spring water that has moved slowly underground, which often gives the beer a softer, smoother mouthfeel.
MugiOhh, got it! So the beer name is OIRASE BEER, and the style here is local craft beer built around great regional water. That already sounds delicious.
Hop BroWhat really pushes this event over the top is Tosashimizu straw-seared seafood. It’s being shipped in from Kochi, and Takizawa, a pro fish selector, is bringing only the fish he’d actually want to eat himself.
MugiWhat is that! Live straw-searing demo at a beer event? That’s not a food booth anymore, that’s a full performance.
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. The toasty straw aroma hits the fish fast and hard, and a clean, easy-drinking beer from Oirase Brewery should pair really well with that smoky seaside character.
MugiAnd they’ve been loved since 1997, with their 30th anniversary coming up in 2027, right? So this event already feels like a warm-up celebration.
Hop BroExactly. Local craft beer and regional food in one place makes Oirase meet Tosashimizu in the best possible way. That kind of event sounds good before the first sip even happens.
MugiI’m sold. Sea aroma and beer is already playing in my head, and now I want a glass in one hand and straw-seared fish in the other.
Exhibitor Spotlight
Oirase Brewery has shared an exhibitor introduction for OIRASE BEER Oktoberfest 2026, scheduled for September 19 and 20 at Michi-no-Eki Oirase Roman Park in Towada, Aomori. Admission is free, and the event is planned as an autumn gathering of beer, food, and music centered on the Oirase and Towada area.
This post features a straw-grilled seafood vendor from Tosa-Shimizu, Kochi. According to the announcement, bonito straw grilling is said to have originated in Tosa-Shimizu, and the booth will bring seafood directly from there. A fish expert named Takizawa selects the catch with a simple standard: something he would truly want to eat himself. Live straw-grilling demonstrations will also be held in front of visitors, pairing the aroma of straw smoke with freshly prepared katsuo.
OIRASE BEER is based in Towada City, Aomori, and brews with Oirase spring water from the Hakkoda mountains. Since sales began in 1997, the brand has been loved for more than a quarter century, and it also operates a brewery restaurant.
With the brewery approaching its 30th anniversary in 2027, this year’s Oktoberfest brings together local craft beer and regional food in one place. The addition of Tosa-Shimizu’s straw-grilled seafood should make it a memorable bridge between Oirase beer culture and the flavors of the sea.
