Celebrating Community Spirit at Sumiyoshi Shrine Festival

From August 6 to 10, 2026, the Sumiyoshi Shrine Festival will grace the streets of Tsukuda, a cherished event held once every three years. To express gratitude to the local community, Nide Inc., a creative agency based in Tokyo, will sell exclusive items at "Café and Izakaya Anata". This festival is not just a local highlight; it's an occasion where tradition, culture, and community spirit converge.

A Hub of Connection at Anata

Located in Tsukuda 1-chome, Anata is a space where locals and visitors alike can unwind and connect. The goal of Anata has always been to foster organic exchanges among patrons, drawing in everyone from local residents to tourists. In this warm environment, conversations flow naturally, creating a sense of community that is palpable.

As Nide embarks on this festival as owners of Anata for the first time, they are keen to contribute to the festivities that mean so much to the locals. Tsukuda is steeped in history and culture, making this event a prime opportunity to share its richness with a broader audience.

Introducing TSUKUDA SESSION - The Festival’s Original Beer

During the festival, Anata will exclusively offer an original beer named TSUKUDA SESSION. This refreshing drink is perfect for enjoying amidst the vibrant atmosphere filled with the sounds of the traditional Tsukuda Bayashi music and the excitement of the mikoshi carriers. With a hint of kabosu citrus, this beer promises a crisp taste that cools down the summer heat.

Celebrating Culture with Original Tenugui
