TOPIC 1 Scenes from the Fair and Visitor Feedback
The limited-time fair, "Beer, Sauna, and Satofull in Takanawa SAUNAS," where guests could enjoy regional craft beer after a supreme sauna experience, was held from February 28 to March 13, 2026.
In a collaboration between Satofull and "Takanawa SAUNAS," which had just opened in February 2026, a selection of craft beers and drinks from various regions across Japan, offered as hometown tax thank-you gifts, were carefully chosen as perfect post-sauna refreshments and sold in the lounge. After working up a good sweat in the exceptional sauna, comprehensively produced by Mr. Katsuki Tanaka, the original author of the manga & essay "Sa-dō," many customers enjoyed the aroma and smoothness that spread with the first sip of a cold drink.

▶ A sauna-loving friend told me about this event, so I came and ordered a beer. Looking at the menu sparked my interest in beers from various regions.
▶ I bought a beer without knowing about the collaboration with Satofull. I wanted to try a beer from a region I've never been to and chose one; it was delicious. I thought it was a great beer for after a sauna.

■Satofull Member Invitation DAY
On the first day of the fair, we held the "Satofull Member Invitation DAY," inviting 50 groups of 100 people selected by lottery from among Satofull member applicants.
Winners were gifted admission to "Takanawa SAUNAS" and a drink of their choice from the fair's menu, allowing them to enjoy a special time. Additionally, as a commemorative gift, they received an original collaboration hat with the Satofull logo, based on the "Senshu Towel Sauna Hat MARU," a thank-you gift from Sennan City, Osaka Prefecture.

Exclusively for the invitation day, we also held an event where guests could experience a dry vihta (*) from Teshikaga Town, Hokkaido, in the sauna room. The forest-like aroma filled the air, creating a time for a deeper sense of "totonoi" (sauna-induced bliss). At the venue, attendees were seen comparing beer brands, wondering, "Which one should I get?" and discussing the differences in taste, showing a growing interest in the regions as a result of the event.
▶ It's a sauna I want to keep coming back to, and the scent of birch was wonderful. I chose a beer from a region I have a connection with through work, but events like this make me want to visit other regions as well.
▶ I'm so happy I was selected despite the high competition. I often order beer as a hometown tax gift, so this event was a great reference for choosing gifts in the future.
▶ The combination of "beer and sauna" caught my eye, so I applied. I learned for the first time that there are diverse beers in various regions. The commemorative sauna hat is cute, so I used it right away!
