Hop BroThat’s the good part. It’s an on-site interview series where the owner actually visits breweries and shares the place and the people behind the beer.
MugiOhh, so you get a story with your pint. And the name Matsuri Brewing already sounds like a party.

MugiHold on, about Matsurisaka Saison... what is a saison? It sounds like a secret finishing move!
Hop BroA saison is a farmhouse style: light, dry, and a little spicy. Then you’ve got Matsurisaka Saison, Shukusai IPA and Banzai Red Ale. IPA brings bright hop aroma, and red ale gives you richer malty depth.
MugiThose names alone sound like drums starting up. Even the lineup parties before you take a sip!

MugiWait, you can follow it from strawberry picking to the tank? That’s full-on experiential brewing. It’s like a field trip with pints.
Hop BroAnd Bibibi itself is an easygoing standing bar, even if you’re solo. Honestly, my first pour is decided already. I’d want the story with the glass.
MugiThen it’s settled. First Matsurisaka Saison, then a toast with Shukusai IPA, and we finish with Banzai Red Ale like a proper festival run!
Bibibi., a craft beer pub in Daikanyama, Tokyo, has introduced Chiba-based Matsuri Brewing as part of its ongoing Instagram series highlighting breweries currently on tap. The concept fits Bibibi.’s usual approach: serving beer together with the story behind the brewer and the place.
Matsuri Brewing opened in June 2021 with the theme “creating festive days through mikoshi and beer making.” Its name comes from the local Mikoshi culture around the Gyotoku area, and the brewery’s identity is closely tied to that regional background. The project was launched by owner and creative director Genichi Ito, who wanted to help bring new energy to the old Edogawa area.
The beers named in the article are Matsusaka Saison, Shukusai IPA, and Banzai Red Ale. Even the names suggest a celebratory, good-humored brewery lineup. The article also notes that Matsuri Brewing has run collaboration projects that turned strawberry harvesting and brewing into an event, showing that the brewery values the experience around beer as much as the beer itself.
Bibibi. is a homey standing bar where even solo visitors can stop in easily. For drinkers who want to enjoy Japanese craft beer with context, not just flavor, it is a fitting place to visit in Daikanyama.
