KARAKURI in Kanda Taps Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen and Shiga Kogen’s IchiJyoRyotoku
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda has tapped two Japanese craft beers: Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen Shimizu Hakuto and Shiga Kogen Beer’s IchiJyoRyotoku, a Hazy Belgian IPA.
Hop BroKARAKURI in Kanda tapped two distinctive guest beers on September 30. It is a perfect start to autumn with beer and oden.
MugiWhat, beer with oden? Just imagining beer and oden together made me hungry!
Hop BroFirst is Minoh Beer from Osaka: Peach Weizen Shimizu Hakuto. It is the third release in its annual Japanese peach-weizen series, made generously with Arakawa peaches from Hachiki Farm in Wakayama.
MugiShimizu Hakuto—the super-fragrant, sweet peach? A peach-filled beer sounds like drinkable dessert!
Hop BroClose, but the weizen yeast also adds banana-like notes that lift the peach. Yeast-driven fruity aromas are part of the charm.
MugiWait, yeast imitates fruit too? Yeast smells like bananas? Is this a beer-world impersonation contest?
Hop BroIt makes those aromas during fermentation—no actual bananas required. The bottles are sold out, so this is a draft-only peach experience.
MugiDraft-only means we have to hurry! And the other one—Shiga Kogen Beer’s what is Ikkyoryotoku? That name sounds wonderfully greedy!
Hop BroIkkyoryotoku from Nagano’s Shiga Kogen Beer is a Hazy Belgian IPA blending hazy and saison traits. Think pineapple, mango, and red-orange citrus.
MugiHazy, saison, IPA… three layers of jargon and my imaginary oden pot just boiled over!
Hop BroHazy means a juicy, cloudy impression; saison is a crisp, dry-leaning Belgian style; IPA puts hops in the spotlight. So it goes from sweet aroma to dry finish.
MugiGot it! Fragrant peach on one side, hoppy fruit and snap on the other. An oden-and-tasting night at KARAKURI sounds irresistible!
Hop BroKARAKURI is open 5–11 p.m.; check availability before you go. Let’s toast with Peach Weizen and Ikkyoryotoku beside steaming oden!
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda tapped two beers on September 30, 2026, from breweries the pub has continued to work with.
The first is Peach Weizen Shimizu Hakuto from Minoh Beer in Osaka. It is the third release in the brewery’s annual domestic peach Weizen series, made with plenty of Arakawa peaches from Hakki Farm in Wakayama. Among the four peach varieties used in the series, Shimizu Hakuto is described as having the most pronounced aroma and a distinctly sweet flavor. Bottles have sold out, so this release is available on draft.
The second is IchiJyoRyotoku from Shiga Kogen Beer in Nagano. Brewed as a Hazy Belgian IPA, it combines the character of a hazy beer with that of a saison. Tropical aromas suggest pineapple and mango, followed by citrus notes reminiscent of red orange. Despite its gentle sweetness, the beer finishes dry in classic saison fashion.
KARAKURI specializes in craft beer, sake, warm sake, and natural wine, with creative dishes centered on oden. The two new taps offer a contrasting tasting: one led by fragrant peach and soft sweetness, the other by tropical hop character and a crisp finish. Both should make natural companions to the pub’s warm, casual food-focused atmosphere. The bar is open from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.; availability should be checked before visiting.
