What is Sapporo Odori Beer Garden?

Sapporo Odori Beer Garden is one of the largest beer gardens in Japan, with over 10,000 seats available in the spacious space of Odori Park, and is expected to attract 886,000 visitors in 2023. This event, which began as a "Summer Garden" in 1959, allows you to enjoy a summer day with beer to your heart's content. In 2025, the event will run for 27 days from Friday, July 18th to Wednesday, August 13th. This year, it will be held as part of the Sapporo Summer Festival.

Suntory The Premium Malt's Garden on Nishi 5-chome is conveniently located just a one-minute walk from Odori subway station, and has significantly expanded its covered seating since last year. You can enjoy dishes supervised by Chef Shimokuninobu, the first champion of the CHEF-1 Grand Prix, that go perfectly with Suntory's proud Premium Malt's. All seats can be ordered via mobile, which not only saves you the trouble of buying tickets, but also makes it very convenient as staff will bring your food and drinks to your table.

The food lineup includes the "Genghis Khan Ratatouille with Lamb and Summer Vegetables" created by Chef Shimokuni Nobu, as well as the "Mexican Taco Party Set with 10 Fillings" that everyone can enjoy, and a wide variety of hearty mega-portioned dishes.

This year, in pursuit of "chilled draft beer," we will be serving "Super Dry Extra Cold" chilled to below freezing in an aluminum "icy cold tumbler." Please enjoy the "icy cold experience" the moment you hold it in your hand and the moment you put it in your mouth.
