Set-in and wake. A play space appeared in a "vacant lot" in Sapporo for three days only.

I'm going to hold an event with WAKE. at a free space called "vacant lot" in Sapporo," said Shingo Arai, director of Setinn, which debuted this February. Such news arrived in May from Shingo Arai, director of "Setinn," which debuted in February of this year. An up-and-coming brand that just launched already had a real event? And in Sapporo? And "an empty lot"? The HOUYHNHNM's team headed for Raccoon Alley in Sapporo in order to answer the question mark that popped into our heads. When we arrived at the venue, we were greeted by a long line of people waiting for the opening of the event and a large court set up in the middle of the street.

Food, greenery, and music will color the venue.

That was not the only thing that caught the visitors' attention.

At the back of the venue are Mikkeller, a well-known craft beer store in Tokyo, and Hikuma Donuts, which opened a store just for this event. Both were busy throughout the day, as visitors could enjoy food and drinks while relaxing on the artificial lawn permanently set up in the "vacant lot.

The beer served at Mikkeller on this day was a craft beer jointly developed by Hobo Brewing, a beer stand in Sapporo, and Set-In. Hobo Brewing and Set Inn, a beer stand in Sapporo, jointly developed this craft beer. It has a refreshing cool sensation that makes you want to drink it after sports, and it is available on tap as well as in cans. This beer will be a regular drink at future "Set Inn" events.

DJ time starts at the end of the event. People sweated it out playing racquet sports and enjoyed beer with music. The event was a success, with an at-home atmosphere from start to finish.
