Why You Should Visit
The third edition of a craft-beer garden that appears on the approach path of Ikuta Shrine in Sannomiya for just three days, timed with the shrine's autumn festival. From 16:00 to 22:00 on 20–22 September, the line-up changes daily: five or six Kobe breweries and taprooms, nine to eleven food stalls and one bar each day. Beer comes from NAMI NO OTO, ÉBIR, Tsukarenaosu, Paint Palette and others; food ranges from venison and eel rice burgers to spice curry, yakiniku, grilled saury and Korean nakkopse. Calligrapher Araccho performs all three days. It runs separately from the shrine rites and Noh, and is an easy walk from Sannomiya Station after work.
