KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Director, Representative Executive Officer, President and CEO: Natsuno Tsuyoshi) will hold “Agefes 2024 November – A Gathering of Local Fried Foods” as a “Walker Festival” produced by Walker Plus, which introduces destinations to go out, where you can enjoy the pairing of alcohol and food, from Saturday, November 16, 2024 to Sunday, November 17, 2024 at the Okachimachi South Exit Station Square (Okachimachi Panda Square) in Tokyo.
KADOKAWA’s “Walker Fest” will lift your spirits! The second “Age Fest” themed on fried food and alcohol has been announced!
It will be held at Okachimachi Panda Square from Saturday, November 16th to Sunday, November 17th, 2024.
The first “Agefes”, held under the theme of Walker Fes, was held in June 2024, attracting approximately 15,000 visitors and many of them enjoying fried food and alcohol. Although fried food is a genre with many variations, there are many ways to enjoy it depending on your preferences. It goes well with alcohol, and due to its great popularity, we have decided to hold the second event at Okachimachi Panda Square as “Agefes 2024 November ~Local Fried Food Gathering~”. This time, it will be an “age!” event where you can enjoy fried food menus from popular stores selected by Walker along with alcohol that goes perfectly with it.
Following on from the previous event, Asahi Beer’s “Maruefu Yokocho” will be providing alcohol. Asahi Draft Beer, which was born as Asahi Beer’s representative brand, has been loved by fans at some restaurants. In 2021, Asahi’s classic beer will be revived in canned beer to light a warm light in everyone’s hearts and bring warmth to Japan. In 2023, it will be called Maruefu Yokocho and will provide many people with the opportunity to taste its products through pop-up events and traveling events with Maruefu cars. Maruefu Yokocho will also be appearing at “Agefes 2024 November – A Great Gathering of Local Fried Foods” and you can enjoy it at the venue.
“Asahi draft beer, commonly known as Maruef,” which goes great with fried foods, changes its flavor depending on how it’s poured, and you can enjoy a total of five different flavors: mild pour, sharp pour, black draft beer, and half and half/one third made with Maruef and black draft beer. Discover your favorite Maruef, which goes great with fried foods. Maruef’s authentic draft beer, which can be poured in a variety of ways, goes great with fried foods. There are also plans to open many fried food stores, so please enjoy.
In addition, we plan to implement content that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, including events that can be enjoyed by people who do not drink alcohol and events that involve the surrounding areas.
Alcohol and food can be purchased using exchange tickets (750 yen each), which will be sold at the venue. In addition, we will be selling a limited number of advance tickets for a 500 yen discount, so please purchase them early. (Due to the limited number of tickets, advance ticket sales may end.)
Event information will be posted on the Walker Fes X official account ( https://x.com/walker_fes ). Please come to “Age Fes 2024 November ~ Local Fried Food Gathering ~” where you can feel good with fried food and alcohol.
