This year's edition of the Antwerp Kendo Cup is sponsored by Brewers'Kitchen, a cosy, informal neighbourhood restaurant in Antwerp old town centre, where you can see chef Guy at work in the open kitchen. Here you can sample the most delicious Belgian dishes, prepared with seasonal, farm-fresh produce, in perfect harmony with the best craft beers.
Guy is not only a chef and zythologist (beer expert) but also a longtime kendoka. So if you want to experience an unforgetable evening and chat until the early hours about food, beer and kendo... one address:
