Kura Kura newly taps Daisen Beer's "Pilsner," with daytime drinking service during Rikugien cherry blossom season
The beer pub Craftbeer&cafe Kura Kura in Honkomagome announced in a March 20 post that it had tapped a new guest beer. The beer now on tap is Daisen Beer’s "Pilsner." The shop also says it will offer daytime drinking service from 12:00 on weekends to match the season when the weeping cherry blossoms at Rikugien are in bloom.
Hop BroCraftbeer&cafe Kura Kura in Honkomagome posted a new guest tap on 3/20. This time it’s Daisen Beer Pilsner, and it feels perfect for a spring walk.
MugiWhoa! Pilsner is that thing people always mention, but you still end up asking, “So what is it exactly?”
Hop BroPretty much. In simple terms, it’s a clean lager. It’s fermented slowly at low temperatures, so it has a crisp finish and goes down easily.
MugiLow-temperature fermentation suddenly sounds like a science experiment! But if they’re saying please have another, then it must be really easy to drink.
Hop BroThat’s exactly what the post emphasizes too: a light, refreshing taste that feels like you could have glass after glass. It isn’t heavy at all, so it’s the kind of beer that works well before or after cherry blossom viewing.
MugiAnd it’s near Rikugien, which is unfair! Watching the blossoms, then having beer while soaking in the afterglow of the weeping cherries? That’s perfect!
Hop BroThat’s where Kura Kura does it well. They connect the season’s atmosphere with the guest beer properly, and the location near Rikugien really comes into play for a spring stroll.
MugiAnd on weekends they’re doing daytime drinking from 12:00? That’s basically beer-pub certification in daylight!
Hop BroYou can go in while it’s still bright out, so it’s good for people who want to avoid the evening crowd. It also makes it easy to stop in for just one drink, or two, during a walk.
MugiSo you see the blossoms, walk, drink, then walk again! That’s basically a complete spring detour course!
Hop BroYeah, a seasonal drink like this really stays in your memory. So how about we head out and make Daisen Beer Pilsner the target for today?
MugiLet’s go! One drink first, or maybe two? The words daytime drinking service are hitting me way too hard right now!

A location that fits the season
