Hop BroHere it is, Sunao Brewery's booth info! They'll be appearing at the "Akita Ekimae Spring Gourmet Yatai" in front of Akita Station from April 29 to May 10.
MugiWhat! Food stalls and beer right at the station!? That's basically a guaranteed win for Golden Week!
Hop BroThe venue is Agora Square and Ooyane-dori, and it's open from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with the final day ending at 5:00 p.m. It's a really good setup for snacking and drinking while walking around town.
MugiWhat is that! Food-hopping x craft beer? My stomach is going to be way too busy! I'd have no idea where to start!
Hop BroWhat stands out here is Sunao Brewery's approach to making products that stay close to the region. Based in Yokote City, it clearly shows a commitment to using Yokote-grown hops and local ingredients.
MugiOhhh! Yokote-grown hops sounds unexpectedly insider-ish! But does hop origin really make that much of a difference in flavor?
Hop BroIt does. Hops are an important ingredient that determines aroma and bitterness, and the character of the region can show up too. The article doesn't give the brand name or style, but you can expect a beer that reflects the character of the place.
MugiI see! So it's not just about drinking, but about exploring the taste of each place! That sounds way too fun to do at an event!
Hop BroWhat's more, the official website highlights being kind to nature, kind to people, and the taproom only started operations in February 2024. Its presence in Akita is slowly but surely growing.
MugiNice...! Just having a drink in front of Akita Station already feels like travel mode, and it makes me excited to meet some local flavors!
Hop BroAll right, for Golden Week let's snack our way through gourmet stalls from all over Japan and finish with a beer from Sunao Brewery.
MugiAgreed! A spring festival where beer goes down easy? If I go, my throat is absolutely going to be applauding!
