Right now a spot I briefly popped in to on the day they launched their first beers. I used to be intending to remain a bit longer however ended up getting barely waylaid en route and in the long run solely had time for a few halves. Perhaps this was a superb factor for them as they appeared to have a whole lot of clients who needed to drink their freshly launched beers. The taproom has been open a short while however till final weekend they had been serving visitor beers solely. Anyway, right here’s what you have to know.
- Beneath the Chuo Line tracks between Higashi Koganei and Musashi Koganei, marginally nearer to the latter. I feel there’s a JR (Japan Rail) connection to this place however I’m unsure what it’s. Not like many new breweries they don’t have that huge glass window to have a look at the brewery tools. The brewery is within the subsequent unit, so all in all, they’ve fairly an honest sized area below the tracks. Seating for perhaps 10, a standing desk for perhaps 4 and in addition a large window ledge which I presume doubles up as a little bit of informal seating. Once I was there you ordered on the counter and it was pay as you go. Oh, beware, they don’t take money.
- Might be one thing of a idiot’s errand to speak about their common beer line up after they’ve solely simply began serving their very own stuff, however after I was there, out of the eight faucets, three had been their very own beers, one was a collaboration with 26k who’re a bit means east below the identical tracks, and the remaining had been Japanese friends. The visitor beers appeared to be from Chuo Line breweries. Effectively, aside from Hideji which may be very a lot not on the Chuo line. Beers served in two sizes, 290ml and 490ml which I don’t assume anybody may ever have predicted. Their very own beers ranged from ¥780-¥830 for the common and ¥1100-¥1150 for the pint. The friends had been ¥880-¥990 and ¥1240-¥1400 respectively.
- Hmmm, WiFi… I don’t assume so, however in fact, I can’t keep in mind. There was no cowl cost. They’ve daytime opening on the weekend however not through the week they usually even have fairly a number of days after they’re closed, so finest test earlier than you go.
This submit is a little bit of a multitude as I used to be actually operating out of time after I was there. Additionally, I assume the day they launched their first beers most likely isn’t going to be very consultant of what the place is often like so I can’t say an excessive amount of until I go to once more. There was an actual group payment to the place and it have to be a really welcome addition for individuals who reside within the space as there aren’t many craft beer locations in Koganei. In the event you don’t thoughts a little bit of a stroll it could be very simple to mix this with a go to to 26k. I’ll most likely do this subsequent time I’m passing.
