The venue is Mina Sakai, in front of Sakai City Hall, and the event will be held on March 28, 2026, from 11:00 to 16:00.
Hop BroToday I brought you the KANPAI FEST booth news for Choryo Sake Brewery's Koryo Brewery in Nara, and it's being held in Sakai on March 28!
MugiWhoa! A sake brewery is showing up at a craft beer event too? The phrase cross-category liquor event has a lot of impact!
Hop BroThe venue is Mina Sakai, in front of Sakai City Hall, and it's a daytime event from 11:00 to 16:00. Advance tickets are 2,500 yen, and same-day tickets are 3,000 yen, so it's pretty easy to go.
MugiHmm! More importantly, what about the beer name and style? That's what I most want to know!
Hop BroThey haven't announced any individual product names yet, but it's confirmed that you can drink Choryo Sake Brewery's craft beer. Since it's a brewery that works on both sake and beer, expectations are high.
MugiWait, what was that thing you mentioned earlier, pairing while moving around the venue? That sounds complicated!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a way to walk around the venue while matching drinks with food truck dishes. In other words, it's food-and-drink marriage.
MugiThat sounds so fun! And with the digital stamp rally, you might even win a featured product, so there's no reason not to join!
Hop BroExactly, and there will also be hula dance and live performances, so the atmosphere will build from midday onward. It's a great setup for craft beer tasting comparisons too.
MugiStarting with craft beer and then branching out into sake and wine is the best! You can do an alcohol-hopping experience all in one day!
Hop BroIt's rare in Kansai to have this many makers gathered in one place, so I definitely want to check out a pour from Choryo Sake Brewery Koryo Brewery.
MugiIt's settled then! On March 28, let's meet in Sakai, have a toast first, and then make our way through everything - I can't wait for the first drink!
Choryo Sake Brewery's Koryo Brewery in Nara Prefecture has released information about its participation in the cross-category liquor event "KANPAI FEST in Senshu & Kawachi." According to the post, the venue will be Mina Sakai, in front of Sakai City Hall (within walking distance of Sakaihigashi Station on the Nankai Koya Line), and the event will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 11:00 to 16:00. Advance tickets are priced at 2,500 yen, and same-day tickets at 3,000 yen.
What makes this event special is that it gathers not only sake makers, but also craft beer and Japanese wine producers all in one place. Food trucks will also be on site, creating a format where visitors can enjoy food-and-drink pairings as they move around the venue. A digital stamp rally is also planned, in which collecting stamps by visiting exhibitor booths gives attendees a chance to win each maker's "featured product." Hula dance and live performances are also scheduled on the stage, making it an event that a wide range of visitors can enjoy from the daytime hours onward.
Choryo Sake Brewery is headquartered in Koryo, Nara, and operates Koryo Brewery, while also working on beer brewing in addition to sake. Its official information also highlights both sake and beer, and the adjacent "CHORYO BREW PARK" offers a taproom and shop. This booth appearance seems to offer a chance to experience the company’s brewing background in a regional cross-over event.
Opportunities for sake breweries, breweries, and wineries to come together at the same venue are still not that common, even in Kansai. For beer fans who want to compare different drinks, it also looks like a day where they can naturally branch out into sake and Japanese wine, with which they may not usually have much contact.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
