Sekimachi Cellar is a beer pub and liquor store located along Ome-kaido in Sekimachi Higashi, Nerima Ward, Tokyo. At the corner standing-drink counter on the first floor, you can casually enjoy draft craft beer, and on the second-floor terrace, you can relax and savor the drinks you purchased right there. Even though it has the face of a liquor store, the fact that craft beer taps are always moving is what gives this shop its character.

What deserves attention this time is the collaboration beer 'Local Alchemist' from West Coast Brewing. The style is Hazy IPA, and the ABV is 6.5%. It uses Mosaic, Rakau, and Pacifica, with a fragrance built around tropical fruit and citrus. According to the official description, aromas reminiscent of peach and red apple are layered with grassy and woody textures, finishing dry.

According to West Coast Brewing's information, this beer is being introduced as an anniversary beer celebrating Sekimachi Cellar's 109 years and the 8th anniversary of its new store. In that sense, it carries meaning beyond being just another limited release, as it is a glass with the store's history behind it. The appeal of the standing-drink style is being able to have a newly opened beer poured and drink it on the spot.

Sekimachi Cellar is also a shop that carries a wide selection of craft beers from across Japan. Centered on three limited taps and four standard taps, it also offers flexible ways to drink on the terrace or inside the store. From an everyday drink to a limited collaboration that reveals the brewery's background, it is clearly a place that gives beer lovers a reason to visit.
