Celebrate Summer with ENGAWA ASAKUSA's Special Offer
As summer approaches, traditional festivals come alive, and ENGAWA ASAKUSA is set to celebrate this vibrant season with an exclusive offer. In conjunction with the renowned Sumida River Fireworks Festival happening on July 25th, the store will unveil its limited "Fireworks Set," just 30 sets available!
The Exclusive Fireworks Set
The Fireworks Set is a meticulously curated package that combines Japanese aesthetics with modern convenience. Encased in a beautifully designed tenugui cloth, traditional Japanese wrapping technique known as "bin wrapping" cleverly turns the knot into a handle, allowing festival-goers to carry it easily. Each set includes two cans of craft beer from the Osaka-based brewery Derailleur Brew Works and a chewy snack known as "Kamikami Konjac." Pairing these treats with the stunning fireworks display offers a delightful evening filled with flavor and excitement.
The Fireworks Set is priced at 2,000 yen and will be available for purchase on July 25th, making it the perfect way to enjoy a night of breathtaking fireworks along the Sumida River.
Special Gifts and Limited Availability
On the day of the festival, all customers making purchases in-store will receive an original uchiwa (fan) to keep cool while watching the fireworks (limited to the first 500 customers). The store will also feature a delightful selection of summer-themed fashion accessories, refreshing drinks, and cold desserts, ensuring a memorable day in Asakusa.
