North Island Beer to Hold Fresh-Green Event “Ryokuen” at Nishikiyama Tenmangu in Ebetsu
North Island Beer will hold the event “Ryokuen -Ryokuen-” at Nishikiyama Tenmangu Shrine in Ebetsu City on June 28. The originally planned cherry-blossom outing, which had to be rescheduled because of bad weather, will be carried out as an outdoor event suited to the fresh-green season, where guests can enjoy draft beer and food.
Hop BroToday is North Island Beer’s Ryokuen -Ryokuen-. It’s being held at Nishikiyama Tenmangu in Ebetsu as an outdoor event to enjoy the fresh greenery.
MugiWhat? A beer event at a shrine!? And at Nishikiyama Tenmangu, no less - it sounds like it might even bring some good luck!
Hop BroIt runs from Sunday, June 28, 11:00 to 15:00, and will be canceled if it rains. Since the original cherry-blossom plan had to be pushed back because of the weather, this time it’s more of a gathering to enjoy the greenery than a “hanami.”
MugiI see, so instead of looking at cherry blossoms, we’ll be drinking while looking at leaves. But does the comfort of fresh greenery really go with beer?
Hop BroIt does, that’s the thing. The venue will have various draft beers plus limited beers, and there will also be soft drinks, so people who don’t drink can still enjoy it.
MugiLimited beers too! But what even is draft beer - is that different from cans at home? Draft beer sounds kind of intense.
Hop BroIt means beer poured directly from a keg. It tends to taste fresher, and the foam looks beautiful too. North Island’s Beer is Art stance really comes through in a setting like this.
MugiWow - and there’ll be yakitori, yakisoba, and even pizza!? This is way too serious about the food, and my stomach is already growling.
Hop BroExactly. PIZZERIA DEL CAPITANO’s stone-oven pizza will be there too, and there’s even a marshmallow-roasting experience. There’s also a candy grab game for kids, so it’s easy for families to come.
MugiBut you need a reservation, right? And with a capacity of 120 people, it’d be a problem if it were so popular we couldn’t get in!
Hop BroReservations are accepted at Beer Bar NORTH ISLAND, the Ebetsu factory outlet, or by DM. Just send your name, number of people, and contact details, so if you’re going, it’s best to book early.
MugiOkay, I’m bringing a picnic sheet! Hearing about bringing my own glass makes it sound like full-on party mode.
Hop BroWhat’s great is being able to drink under the Hokkaido and Ebetsu sky while feeling the brewery’s craftsmanship. This already feels like a night where one glass won’t be enough.
MugiYeah, I want to drink now too! Fresh greenery and draft beer - just imagining that combo is already amazing.
The event “Ryokuen -Ryokuen-,” announced by North Island Beer on Instagram, will be held on Sunday, June 28, from 11:00 to 15:00 at Nishikiyama Tenmangu Shrine, 38-1 Nopporo Yoyogi-cho, Ebetsu City. Because the previous event could not be held as a cherry-blossom viewing and had to be rescheduled, this time it is being introduced less as a “hanami” and more as a gathering to enjoy the comfort of fresh greenery. Cancelled in the event of rain.
The participation fee is 4,500 yen for adults, 1,000 yen for elementary school students and older, and free for preschool children. Capacity is 120 people, excluding preschool children. At the venue, North Island Beer’s various draft beers and limited-edition beers, soft drinks, yakitori, yakisoba, a marshmallow-roasting experience, a candy grab game for children only, and stone-oven pizza from PIZZERIA DEL CAPITANO are scheduled to be offered. Guests are also encouraged to bring a picnic sheet, chairs, and their own glass or cup.
Reservations are accepted through Beer Bar NORTH ISLAND, the Ebetsu factory outlet, or by DM. For DM reservations, the organizer says you must include your name, number of participants, and contact information. Participants who have already reserved will be contacted later by email.
