As we move into the warmer months, more and more beer festivals will be popping up in and around Tokyo. One to look forward to is Keyaki Beer Festival at Keyaki Hiroba, right next to Saitama-Shintoshin Station in Saitama city.
You can try craft beers from a host of Japanese breweries at this two-day festival, with drinks going for as little as ¥400 a glass. It’s a great chance to try beers from Japanese breweries like Coedo, Hokkaido Brewing, Blue Magic, Shiki Beer, Nasu Kohgen Beer and Sankt Gallen. There'll also be a selection of imported brews – think BrewDog and Erdinger – plus food offerings that pair well with a pint of beer like fresh oysters, sausages and cheese platters.
