The beer pub Kazenori Merry, located in the B1F of Kato Building, 5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, announced that it would be open on Saturday, March 14, 2026 from 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

The centerpiece of that day's post is a story that conveys the relationship between the owner and Hoppukotan Brewery. As part of a conversation remembered from the time Mr. Tsutsumino of Hoppukotan Brewery visited, it introduced a memory about "Coriander Black" from when the shop once contacted the North Island brewery, and the talk went into beer aging and how spice nuances change over time. It is content that shows the shop's approach of not just "drinking" beer, but also "following the changes in its flavor."

As beer information, Hoppukotan Brewery's pilsner "With Kami-Furano" is explicitly mentioned. The owner's comment also adds "of course," making it the featured label to watch that day.

Another thing that gives Kazenori Merry its character is the food lineup. The weekend-only curry plate combines duck, pomegranate & nut curry, mutton shank herb curry, fennel salad, and more, under the theme of "Iran." Dishes with sweet-and-sour elements and clear herbal notes should pair easily not only with a crisp pilsner, but also with a darker, spice-leaning beer.

In Roppongi's underground space, the appeal of this shop is that you can enjoy both conversations that feel close to the brewer and a pairing experience that includes the food. For beer lovers, it looks like an evening to savor not just the contents of the glass, but the story behind it.
