Mangosteen Liquors to Join Sancha Kuso Shotengai in Sangenjaya
Mangosteen Liquors from MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO in Hokuto, Yamanashi, will take part in Sancha Kuso Shotengai in Sangenjaya on July 4-5. The booth will feature Mangosteen Brewing Lab's craft beer alongside mezcal and other carefully selected drinks.
Hop BroSomething fun is hitting Sangenjaya soon: Manchin Saketen is popping up there. On July 4 and 5 at Sancha Kusou Shotengai, it sounds like they'll bring the whole MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO vibe from Hokuto with them.
MugiWait, Sancha Kusou Shotengai isn't just a beer event, right? It feels more like a stylish street fair packed with quirky shops and brands!
Hop BroExactly, and that's why this is interesting. Along with Manchin Brewing's beers, they're also bringing mezcal and natural wine, which is very on-brand for a place that's part bottle shop, part bar, part deli, and part lounge.
MugiHold on, kakuuchi style? What is that? It sounds like some magical ritual where booze tastes better if you stand in a corner!
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It basically means buy it and drink it there, like an evolved liquor store where the dangerous part is how fast browsing turns into your first glass.
MugiOhhh! And Manchin Brewing only started in September 2022, right? That's still pretty new, but they're already drawing attention in Tokyo.
Hop BroThat's the good part. They brew with spring water from Mt. Kayagatake, and they also work local fruits and vegetables from Hokuto into the mix, so the beer can really reflect the place.
MugiSp-spring water...? And then there's Local Beer 2.0 too? You just launched a full-speed jargon attack on me. Translate for beginners, please!
Hop BroIn simple terms, they're trying to pour local flavor and culture into the glass. The specific beer names and styles haven't been announced yet, but getting that whole worldview in central Tokyo is the real draw.
MugiOkay, I get it now. The names can wait till the event if the whole point is tasting Hokuto's atmosphere too. And if mezcal is there, this definitely won't stay a casual stop!
Hop BroExactly. Just imagining the MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO culture, born in that renovated former factory, making a trip to Sangenjaya already has my throat warming up.
MugiSame here! Beer and mezcal in one visit? I can already see us showing up "just to look" and somehow ending up with our first drink in hand.
What will be there
Sancha Kuso Shotengai is a multi-day event in Sangenjaya, held on July 4 and 5 at Sancha Fureai Plaza. In the exhibitor announcement, Mangosteen Liquors from the MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO complex in Akeno, Hokuto City, Yamanashi, was introduced as one of the participating vendors.
Mangosteen Liquors is designed as a hybrid space that combines a bottle shop, bar, deli, and lounge. Its lineup includes Mangosteen Brewing Lab's craft beer, house-imported mezcal, and a wide range of spirits and wines such as gin, absinthe, rum, whiskey, and natural wine. The selection is built around the store's "rare and distinctive" concept.
Mangosteen Brewing Lab began brewing in September 2022. According to the brewery's introduction, it uses spring water from Mt. Kayagatake and local fruits and vegetables from Hokuto, and positions itself as a community-rooted brewery with a strong connection to music and culture.
MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO itself is a renovated former factory complex that brings together the brewery, the bottle shop, and a food counter in one place. The Sangenjaya appearance offers Tokyo drinkers a chance to encounter that broader world of beer, spirits, and food in a different setting.
