Hop BroOn April 18 and 19, Minamiawaji City's Naminoto Brewing took part in "Bakuen HYOGO 2026" for the third time.
MugiWhat, their third time!? If they get invited that often, they're basically a regular brewery already!
Hop BroExactly. The venue in front of JR Hyogo Station gets bigger crowds every year, and this time it was apparently a huge success.
MugiSeriously, getting to meet customers at the booth means you can tell how the beer lands through live reactions!
Hop BroThat's right. Comments like "delicious" or "I want to drink it again" are direct feedback that helps shape the next batch.
MugiHmm, but what I really want to know is what kind of beer it was. Were the beer name and style mentioned?
Hop BroThe article didn't say, but Naminoto is a brewery that makes use of Awaji Island's Naru-to oranges, koji, and sea salt.
MugiWait, koji and sea salt too!? That's basically the all-purpose trading company of Japanese flavors!
Hop BroThe daily brewing happens behind the scenes, but at events you can see drinkers' expressions up close and check the answer sheet on flavor.
MugiI get it now! Regulars coming out for their favorite brewer is already amazing, and now I want to dive into a glass from Awaji Island right away!
Hop BroI know, once you remember the energy of the venue, you start craving tonight's drink too.
MugiTotally. This is the kind of article that makes you want to drink immediately! I’m closing it with a full-on let's toast already mood!
