MugiWhat?! All 12 taps, one brewery?! That is the happiest possible kind of decision overload!
Hop BroThe range is incredible, from local ingredients to classic styles. There’s the hojicha-based Hoji CHA Ale, plus Nanbu CHA Ale made with Minobu-area “Kai no Midori” tea.
MugiWait, tea goes into beer? And Kai no Midori sounds like a secret green-tea finishing move! Is this really okay?!
Hop BroAbsolutely—it’s a green-tea cultivar. Tea aroma and gentle astringency can add character to beer. It creates a local-ingredient nuance that malt and hops alone cannot deliver.
MugiWow, it sounds like you could taste Yamanashi itself! But for hop fans, American Pale Ale and Citra IPA must be calling, right?
Hop BroThey definitely are. Citra IPA leans into citrus-like aroma, while American Pale Ale balances aroma and bitterness. “Hop aroma” simply means the beer’s fragrant character.
Mugi“Aroma” makes beer sound suddenly fancy! So is Black IPA a beer with a surprise in every sip—dark-looking, but still an IPA?
Hop BroExactly. It combines roasted-malt toastiness with IPA-style hop bitterness. Compared with the malt richness of Amber Ale, the contrast becomes clear.
MugiThere’s also Hazy YUZU IPA, Tomato Ale, Mix Fruits, and Grape MIX—my taste buds are in traffic! And the twelfth beer is pending? I need to know!
Hop BroThere’s more: Chinese-style ladder acrobatics on the 24th, and a THE Beers live performance on the 25th. It runs 4–7 p.m.; food and drinks are included, with a 7,000-yen entry fee. Reserve ahead and bring cash.

Nori’s Beer across all 12 taps
La Cachette in Kagurazaka will hold the “Nori’s Beer TTO Party” on October 24 and 25, 2026. During the two-day event, all 12 taps will feature beers from Nori’s Beer, a craft brewery from Yamanashi Prefecture.
The planned lineup includes Hoji CHA Ale, brewed with roasted green tea; Nanbu CHA Ale, made with “Kai no Midori” tea from Nanbu, Yamanashi; American Pale Ale; Amber Ale; Black IPA; and Citra IPA. Guests can also expect YO-HO-, Hazy YUZU IPA with yuzu, Tomato Ale, Mix Fruits, and Grape MIX. An additional twelfth beer was still being prepared at the time of the announcement.
