ISANA Brewing to Host a Takoyaki-and-Craft-Beer Collaboration Event on September 19
ISANA Brewing has announced a collaboration event with takoyaki shop Takutoro-bō, run by voice actor and narrator Takatora. The event will be held at the brewery’s roastery in Akishima as a 50-minute reservation-only session pairing takoyaki with craft beer.
Hop BroI wanted to bring up this takoyaki collab event. Isana Brewing is teaming up with 武虎房 on September 19 in Akishima for a reservation-only session.
MugiWait, craft beer and takoyaki together? That’s like festival food suddenly getting a brewery upgrade, and I am very into it!
Hop BroThe venue is Isana Brewing Brewery & Roastery. They’ve been operating in Akishima since May 2018, brewing original craft beer with deep underground water, so they’ve really got that experimental maker vibe.
MugiOooh, but brewed with deep groundwater sounds impressive in a movie-trailer way. What does it actually change?
Hop BroBrewing water helps shape the flavor outline of the beer. Put simply, it’s like how changing the stock in a soup changes the whole impression of the dish.
MugiSo the water is basically a beer chef! And they also do in-house roasted coffee? This place is doing side quests and main quests at the same time.
Hop BroExactly, and the event has three 50-minute slots starting at 12:00, 13:00, and 14:00. You get five takoyaki plus a one-plate dish, which feels perfect for daytime drinking.
MugiHold on, there’s still no beer name or style in the article? My taste buds are already lining up asking whether we’re talking IPA or lager!
Hop BroThat part sounds like a surprise, but the heart of it is food and beer pairing. Pairing just means matching the roasty, savory side of takoyaki with a beer that makes you go, yep, that’s the one.
MugiAnd it’s only a three-minute walk from Akishima Station, plus it’s a first-come reservation event? I’m already reminding myself that the takoyaki is cash-only.
Hop BroRight, this has serious weekend lunch beer energy. The only thing to remember is that sending the form doesn’t confirm it yet, you have to wait for the brewery’s confirmation email.
MugiUnderstood. I’ll be waiting for that email while imagining hot takoyaki in one hand and a cold craft beer in the other.
Takoyaki and craft beer in Akishima
ISANA Brewing has announced a collaboration event with voice actor and narrator Takatora. Titled "Takotoro-bō x ISANA Brewing Collaboration Event: Takoyaki & Craft Beer," the session is open to everyone.
The venue is ISANA Brewing Brewery & Roastery in Akishima, Tokyo. The brewery has operated there since May 2018 and makes original craft beer with Akishima’s deep groundwater. It also serves coffee roasted in-house and food, reflecting its "Factory & Laboratory" concept centered on brewing, roasting, and experimentation.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026, in three 50-minute slots: 12:00-12:50, 13:00-13:50, and 14:00-14:50. Takatora started his takoyaki shop, Takotoro-bō, in August, but general reservations are not yet being accepted. This collaboration gives visitors a chance to try it earlier.
The set includes five takoyaki pieces and one plate dish from ISANA Brewing. Payment is split between items: takoyaki is cash only, while food and beer can be paid for with cash, card, or PayPay. Applications are accepted through a form, on a first-come, first-served basis, and up to four people can apply at once. Submission does not confirm a reservation until ISANA Brewing sends a confirmation email.
With Akishima Station only a short walk away, the event offers an easy way to enjoy takoyaki alongside ISANA Brewing’s beers on a Saturday afternoon.
