Hop BroA fun tap update is coming to Akasaka-mitsuke! Craft Beer Server Land opens at noon on September 19, with two new kegs.
MugiWhat, beer from lunchtime? If it’s near Akasaka-mitsuke Station, I could stop by before or after work!
Hop BroIt’s on B1 of Akasaka Gessekai Building. The standout is “VS” by Himitsu Beer from Mie, at 6.5% ABV.
MugiDoes “VS” mean we have to battle? Should I bring a whisk? And it’s a Soba Ale—is that really a buckwheat beer?
Hop BroExactly—it’s an ale brewed with soba. Beyond malt, it brings buckwheat’s toasty character: a highly distinctive brew.
MugiWow! Buckwheat alone is surprising, but it also has fig and sudachi? What is this dashi-like nuance supposed to be?
Hop BroThink toasted grain, a soft fruity note, and bright sudachi citrus layered together. It sounds perfect for a pairing adventure.
MugiIf I start finding snacks for soba beer, I’ll accidentally host a full dinner party! What’s the other one like?
Hop BroThe other new keg is Sapporo’s “SAPPORO Edelpils.” At 5% ABV, it offers crisp German-pilsner character and clean hop bitterness.
MugiAn adventurous VS beside a crisp Edelpils—a style-by-style tasting! I suddenly need to get to Akasaka!
Opening from noon on September 19
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, a beer pub in Tokyo’s Akasaka district, has announced that it will begin service at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The venue is located in the basement of the Akasaka Gessekai Building and offers a rotating selection of beers on tap.
The opening tap announcement features two beers: Himitsu Beer’s “VS” and Sapporo’s “Edelpils.”
Himitsu Beer “VS”
With an ABV of 6.5%, “VS” is a Soba Ale from Himitsu Beer in Mie Prefecture. Product information describes a recipe featuring buckwheat, fig, and sudachi citrus, with savory, dashi-like nuances. Its combination of roasted grain character, fruit, and citrus makes it an especially distinctive beer to explore with food.
Sapporo “Edelpils”
The second new tap is Sapporo’s “Edelpils,” listed at 5% ABV. Its crisp profile and hop bitterness offer a classic pilsner-style contrast to the more unusual, ingredient-driven Soba Ale.
The pairing gives visitors a chance to compare two very different expressions: a distinctive Japanese-inspired ale and a clean, bitter pilsner. Tap availability may change, so guests should check the pub’s latest updates before visiting.
