Novarese, a wedding production company, will open its wedding venues to the public on weekdays as beer gardens, operating at nine locations nationwide starting June 1st. The period will vary by venue, but will run until the end of September. This marks the company's fourth year hosting a beer garden event. This time, all venues will share an "Asian resort" concept, utilizing the unique features of each venue, such as the outdoor terrace, garden, rooftop, and banquet room, to create an "adult beer garden." The food offering will be all-you-can-eat, featuring approximately 15 dishes, primarily spicy Asian favorites, including Thai-style roast chicken, rice noodles, and cilantro dishes. Drinks are also all-you-can-drink, with a selection of beer, soft drinks, red and white wine, and even cocktails made with liqueurs. In addition to the all-you-can-eat menu, seven venues, excluding Amandan Sail in Chiba Prefecture and Niigata Monolith in Niigata Prefecture, will also offer a barbecue grill as part of their set menu. Each person will be served a plate of meat, seafood, and vegetables, including beef ribs and sausages.
The price is 3,800 to 4,800 yen, and includes an all-you-can-eat buffet with approximately 15 different dishes and all-you-can-drink options. The event is limited to two hours (1.5 hours at Hyogo's Himeji Monolith), including barbecue grills.
The venues include historic Western-style buildings such as Hyogo's Ashiya Monolith (approximately 85 years old), which was renovated from the former Ministry of Communications' Ashiya Annex; Himeji Monolith (approximately 85 years old), which was formerly the Ministry's Himeji Annex; and Osaka Prefecture's Former Sakuranomiya Public Hall (approximately 80 years old), formerly the Meiji Emperor Memorial Hall and designated as a national important cultural property. Tours of the buildings are also available for those who wish.
