Ten Forward highlights Iwatobi Festival at Uradome Beach on June 28
Ten Forward, a brewpub and guesthouse in Uradome, Iwami Town, shared details of the Iwatobi Festival set for June 28. The seaside event at Shiosai Plaza will include a beach seine haul, a touch pool, a limited-gozen meal, and other local attractions.
Hop BroI want to start with the Iwatobi Festival on June 28. Ten Forward is spreading the word, and it is happening around Shiosai Plaza at Uratomi Beach, basically a seaside feast with a festival attached.
MugiWait, Iwatobi Festival sounds like penguins should be involved! A beach event already sounds fun, and now I am weirdly invested.
Hop BroThat name definitely grabs you. It is really an early-summer Iwami event with a beach dragnet competition, a touch pool, and even a one-day Iwatobi Shrine, so the lineup is packed.
MugiWhat is this, a festival chaos combo? A shrine and a dragnet by the beach means I am getting hungry before we even reach the beer part!
Hop BroThe food is serious too. The star is Iwatobi Gozen for 1,700 yen, built around fresh rock oysters and crispy flying-fish fry, plus grilled squid and grilled oysters from the stalls.
MugiWhoa, that is basically a full seafood attack! But if Ten Forward is involved, I am guessing beer is part of this story too?
Hop BroExactly. Ten Forward is a BrewPub and GuestHouse in Uratomi that opened in 2023. They brew IWAMI BLUE BEER there, and it is designed to pair with local food.
MugiHold on, what does food beer mean? I can already hear your ex-brewery voice getting louder.
Hop BroIWAMI BLUE BEER is basically a food-friendly beer style. It avoids pushing bitterness or heaviness too far, so it lifts the umami of seafood like rock oysters and flying fish instead of overpowering it.
MugiThat is way too convincing. A beer by the sea with that meal sounds dangerously perfect, and now I want the full festival route.
Hop BroSame here. IWAMI BLUE BEER with seafood is exactly the pairing that makes me want to head to Uratomi on June 28 and finish the day with a pint at Ten Forward.
A local early-summer event
Iwami Town Tourism Association will hold the Iwatobi Festival on Sunday, June 28, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the area around Uradome Beach Shiosai Plaza (in front of Arasuna Shrine). The program includes a simultaneous Hamauradome beach seine haul, a touch pool, a one-day-only Iwatobi Shrine, photo greetings with the town mascot Iwamiin and the mayor, and a final prize drawing.
Seasonal food is part of the appeal
Food is a major draw as well. The limited Iwatobi Gozen set features seasonal raw rock oysters and fried flying fish, priced at 1,700 yen. Other festival-only meals include Shun-gyo Tatsumi’s special Iwatobi Gozen for 2,970 yen and cafe Nijinoki’s Ago Curry Gozen. Food stalls selling grilled squid and grilled oysters are also planned.
