Sakamichi Brewing to Join Kunitachi Nominoichi 2026 from July 17 to 19
Sakamichi Brewing will take part in Kunitachi Nominoichi 2026, a three-day community craft beer event at Kunitachi Station South Exit Plaza from July 17 to 19. The festival adds a Friday evening session for the first time and features beer, food, goods, workshops, and live brass music.
Hop BroThis time it’s about Sakamichi Brewing joining the event. They’ll be at Kunitachi Nominoichi 2026 for three days, from July 17 to July 19, at Kunitachi Station’s south plaza.
MugiWhat! Three full days? And it’s right by the station, so even a craft beer beginner like me could just wander in.
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. This year adds the first Friday night, so July 17 runs from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. It’s built perfectly for an after-work beer.
MugiOh wow, after-work beer vibes! That suddenly sounds so grown-up. But what kind of brewery is Sakamichi Brewing?
Hop BroSakamichi Brewing is based in Tachikawa, and it also has two taprooms. Since launching in 2020, it’s aimed to bring approachable, reasonably priced beers in a wide range of styles to western Tokyo.
MugiWait, what? A wide range of styles sounds like I’m about to get quizzed. Does “style” just mean different flavor types?
Hop BroExactly. Beer style differences are basically flavor directions. IPA leans hop-forward and aromatic, while lager is crisp and clean. The article doesn’t list specific beer names, so what they pour is part of the fun.
MugiI love that, a surprise lineup! And if there’s food, goods, and workshops too, I’d end up roaming around all day.
Hop BroAnd on July 19 there’s a station staff ensemble performing, plus a digital stamp rally linking the venue with nonowa Kunitachi. With breweries like KUNITACHI BREWERY and VERTERE there too, it’s a great snapshot of the Chuo Line and Tama beer scene.
MugiAt that point it’s basically a station-front festival! Free admission means I can drop by early, then finish with a Sakamichi beer... and now I really want a drink.
