Three taps opened at Anton Bee Ryudomachi, including Minoh's "Rockin' OSARU IPA"
At Anton Bee Ryudomachi, part of the beer pub "CRAFT BEER Anton Bee Roppongi" in Ryudomachi, Roppongi, three new taps opened on April 3: Minoh, Burnt Mill, and COEDO. With the neighborhood in full cherry blossom bloom, the lineup offers draft craft beer, cider, and hard tea to enjoy on the corner.
Hop BroThree new taps opened in the basement in Ryudomachi, Roppongi. Minoh's Rockin' OSARU IPA, Burnt Mill's Diamond Lake, and COEDO's KYARA are in, and as a route before the weekend, that's a pretty strong lineup.
MugiWhoa! Just from the name, Rockin' OSARU IPA already sounds fun! Is it the kind of beer where a monkey is thrashing around with a guitar?
Hop BroThat image is actually pretty close, but in reality it's an IPA with the hop character you'd expect from Minoh. If you remember it as one of Minoh's signature beers, it's easy to enjoy the balance of fruitiness and bitterness.
MugiBy the way, what even is WC Pale Ale? WC doesn't stand for washroom, right? They're not doing that to beer, are they?
Hop BroHere, WC stands for West Coast. Burnt Mill's Diamond Lake is the kind of beer that finishes clean and nicely bitter, with hop aroma that comes through beautifully, so it's a pale ale that leans toward easy drinking.
MugiGot it! So what kind of beer is COEDO's KYARA? The name is cute, but IPL is so mysterious it suddenly makes me feel like I'm back in science class!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, so it's built more from a lager-yeast mindset than an ale one. KYARA has a crisp, toasty character; it does not go as wild as an IPA, but it is still not lacking, so it lands right in that comfortable middle ground.
MugiWow, this is fun to choose from! And on top of beer, having cider and hard tea on draft is unfair. Having a fallback depending on your mood is the best!
Hop BroExactly. The post showed a 10-tap list, and with In the Hops, Boosted Hazy IPA, and more, it's really a broad lineup. It's a setup that works whether you're in the mood for beer or just want something light.
MugiAnd being able to stop by after seeing the cherry blossoms in Ryudomachi feels like a spring detour. Even with one-person staffing, it seems easy to walk in without any fuss, which is really nice.
Hop BroIt's open from 5 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, so it's strong for after-work drinks. Today's lineup makes me want a pint on the road home from the blossoms, and honestly, my throat is already craving one too.
Three taps opened in Ryudomachi, Roppongi
On April 3, Anton Bee Ryudomachi added three new taps. Minoh's Rockin' OSARU IPA, Burnt Mill's Diamond Lake, and COEDO's KYARA joined the lineup, making it an easy set of choices for a drink before the weekend. The shop is in the basement at 5-1-5 Roppongi, and its easygoing beer-pub atmosphere makes it a place you can drop into without pretense.
Draft lineup for the day
The post listed the following 10 beers and drinks, including the newly tapped ones.
- Minoh / Rockin' OSARU IPA
- Burnt Mill / Diamond Lake (WC Pale Ale)
- COEDO / KYARA (IPL)
- Isekadoya / In the Hops (DDH IPA)
- DDC! / Blanche de Paradis (Belgian White)

- DDC! / Solstice d'Ete Cerises (Cherry Berliner Weisse)

The selection spans IPA, pale ale, IPL, Belgian white, and cider, so you can choose based on what kind of beer you feel like drinking. It is not only craft beer, but also draft cider and hard tea, which gives you more ways to pace yourself and is very much in this shop's style.
The atmosphere
The shop was running with a one-person staff that day. The post also suggested stopping by after a walk through Ryudomachi under the full cherry blossoms. On weekdays, it is open from 17:00 to 24:00, with food served until 23:00 and drinks until 23:30. In Roppongi's night scene, those hours make it easy to use from after work into the late evening.
There was also information about party plans, so it is set up not just for casual drinking but also as a place to gather. For craft beer fans, it is the kind of shop where checking the tap changes is part of the fun.
