Hop BroThere’s an interesting event coming up in front of Sapporo Station. North Island Beer’s Ebetsu brewery is putting on a project in April that feels like, Cheers at Ippuan!
MugiWhat! A beer event at a ramen shop? Ramen Sapporo Ippuan is that popular place in front of the station, right? That sounds amazing!
Hop BroThe dates are April 11 and 25, both Saturdays, from 11:00 to 20:00. It’s the kind of schedule where you can be happily lingering from day to night.
MugiFrom day to night? That’s basically a win! If they’re serving draft beer, I’d want to have one before even waiting for ramen!
Hop BroAnd the announcement says there will be up to six taps, so the tasting comparisons should be a lot of fun. By taps, I mean the number of draft beer faucets.
MugiWait, that’s what taps means!? When you say tasting comparisons, my brain gets busy wanting to try a little of everything!
Hop BroThat’s the good part. North Island Beer is a brewery at the Ebetsu factory, and since it was started by a brewer who trained in Canada, the flavor has a solid foundation.
MugiWow! And it’s not just beer, but gyōza and ramen too. That’s a seriously strong combination!
Hop BroExactly. Plus, there’s also a rock-paper-scissors tournament planned for the day, so the appeal isn’t just drinking but also playing. Events like this instantly heat up the atmosphere inside the shop.
MugiI really want to go now! I want to cheers in front of Satsueki, then fill up both my stomach and my mood with ramen and beer!
North Island Beer’s Ebetsu brewery is teaming up with the popular restaurant Ramen Sapporo Ippuan in front of Sapporo Station to hold a special event on Saturdays in April. The event is titled "NORTH ISLAND BEER × Ramen Sapporo Ippuan: Cheers in front of Satsueki!". It will be held on Saturday, April 11 and Saturday, April 25, both from 11:00 to 20:00.
The venue is Hokuren Building B1F, 1-1 Kita 4-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. At Ippuan, located underground in front of Sapporo Station, North Island Beer will serve draft beer. The announcement says up to six taps will be available at once, making it a setup where visitors can enjoy comparing different beers. Gyōza and ramen will also be available to order, and a rock-paper-scissors tournament is scheduled to take place on the day.
North Island Beer is a brewery based at its factory in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. On its official website, the brand is introduced as having been started by a brewer who trained in Canada, and it now produces five standard beers as well as seasonal and limited-edition brews. It has also expanded craft beer access from both the brewery and the city center, including draft beer at its directly operated shop, Beer Bar North Island, in central Sapporo.
What stands out about this event is that it clearly encourages pairing beer with ramen and gyoza, rather than treating beer as a standalone offering. An Ebetsu brewery taking over a ramen shop in front of Sapporo Station makes this a notable event that puts the food-and-beer combination front and center.
