Today, July 10, Niko from Nishitsu went to the “Araebisu Night Festival Ebisu Beer Festa” being held at Nishinomiya Shrine. Here’s what it was like around 4 p.m. on a weekday.
Right after entering through the Red Gate, there still weren’t many visitors yet.
The Ebisu Beer booth was still getting ready.
That said, there were already some early visitors.
There were quite a lot of people farther back in this area. But these tables here were still open.
This is what it looked like in front of the food stalls. They had paella again today.
Let’s go check out where all the people are gathered.
The reason for the crowd was a monkey performance.
Gotta do your best all day today too.
Lucky Ball seems to be more popular than goldfish scooping. Ohhh, I see, I see.
A summer tradition at Nishinomiya Shrine. The wind chime market is happening too. You don’t often get a chance to see this many wind chimes for sale.
As expected, there was a line for Katsuragi’s charcoal-grilled chicken thighs. Everyone loves them.
With flames like that, of course everyone wants to come over.
As expected, there were people gathered around the Ebisu Beer area in the pine grove.
Hakushika’s sake was chilled ice-cold.
Here’s what it looks like when they pour you some of the chilled sake.
Dashi no Tsumiki was busy again today too.
For anyone who thought, “Oh, they have Premium Malt’s too?”
What’s inside is highball. Since today is the Araebisu Night Festival, the only beer option is Ebisu Beer.
By the way, there was a sudden heavy downpour around 3 p.m. today.
But by 5:30 p.m., the sky had cleared up like this!!
Actually, once the sun came out, it felt like the number of people suddenly jumped!!! There were so few at first, too.
Looks like a lot of visitors will be coming today too. A festival just isn’t the same without a crowd!
Hope everyone has a great time.
