At the craft beer specialty shop “vivo! BEER + DININGBAR” in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, a new bottled beer lineup has been added. On the shop’s Instagram, Minoh Beer’s Weizen is being introduced as the first release.

Weizen is a wheat malt beer known for its lively aroma reminiscent of banana and clove, along with its smooth mouthfeel. In the post, it is described as a beer made with more than 50% wheat malt, and one characterized by its fruity aroma reminiscent of banana and clove plus its gentle mouthfeel and light finish. It is not too heavy, yet its aroma leaves a strong impression, making it an easy pick even for people already familiar with craft beer.

The shop is a craft beer specialty store tucked quietly along Ikebukuro Sunshine Street. In an atmosphere that feels like a casual beer pub, one of its appeals is that you can choose a beer that suits your taste from both draft and bottled options. The post also mentions that two draft beers are currently on tap, so visitors can enjoy not only bottled beer but also the daily changes in the tap lineup.

Because the selection changes, it is a good idea to check the latest information on Instagram or the official website before visiting. If you are looking for a soft wheat-based beer in Ikebukuro, this Minoh Beer “Weizen” is one to check out.
