This place just lately appeared on my radar when a good friend of mine checked in to certainly one of their beers on Untappd. The title was sort of intriguing however till now I hadn’t managed to go to. It’s been open a short time, (nearly a 12 months), however I suppose within the standard glacial Tokyo Beer Drinker scheme of issues my go to was truly not so lengthy after opening. Located in Yanaka, a little bit stroll from both Nippori or Sendagi stations, this isn’t an space that I am going to fairly often nevertheless it does appear that there are some attention-grabbing issues occurring on this basic a part of town so possibly I ought to return extra typically. Anyway, right here’s what you must know:
- Brewpub inside an outdated sake store as you may see from that large ball factor hanging exterior. And as you may see from my calling it a ‘large ball factor’, sake will not be one thing I do know quite a bit about. Provided that it’s inside an outdated store the decor will not be what you would possibly anticipate from a brand new brew pub. Quite a lot of the inside has a standard Japanese look and the additions have been made in a complimentary fashion. Downstairs there was seating for about 10 at tables and a small counter. There’s a room upstairs too and I assume it’s a tatami room as individuals had been taking their sneakers off to go up there. Apparently the whole capability is 30, so I assume there are a couple of tables upstairs.
- (I assumed seeing as this can be a frequent function of many locations I add I ought to do a bullet level about meals to any extent further, so right here it’s). Appeared to have a fairly sized meals menu with unsurprisingly some lamb dishes. The meals was positively extra Japanese fashion than extra Western fashion pub dishes. It’s price checking their Instagram for some photos. Clearly the truth that it was Japanese fashion meant that, as a vegetarian, it wasn’t actually going to be my factor, however there have been positively some clients who appeared to be there primarily to eat. Simply ingesting is okay although.
- Six faucets of their very own beer, made on website. There have been an honest vary of types obtainable and the costs had been fairly good. Beers served in two sizes, pint and common. The pints regarded like US pints and I’d say that the common was in all probability round 250ml. Costs ranged from ¥700-¥800 for the common and ¥1100-¥1200 for the pint.
- No cowl cost, daytime opening, (nevertheless it’s a type of locations that opens for lunch after which closes once more earlier than reopening within the night on weekdays, so test the instances fastidiously earlier than you go to) and this time I remembered to test they usually do have WiFi! Beware that this can be a cashless cost place, however they do settle for loads of completely different cashless choices.
I’ve to say this was a pleasing shock. The beers had been good and it’s a pleasing place to spend a while. The employees had been very pleasant and I used to be to listen to the place they acquired the title of the brewery from. It wasn’t actually what I used to be anticipating. While you put all the pieces collectively and have respectable beers, good costs and good conventional environment, I’d say this can be a place nicely price visiting.
