Craft Beer Market Otemachi Store Releases Updated Tap List on 4/30, Featuring Sansho Lager and Sauna Beer
At Craft Beer Market Otemachi Store, the April 30 update of "Today's BEERS!" has been published. In addition to two limited beers from CRAFTROCK BREWING, the lineup offers a wide range of draft beers from classics to more distinctive choices, and a notice of closure during the Golden Week period has also been posted.
Hop BroToday's Otemachi tap update is hot. At Craft Beer Market Otemachi Store, the April 30 update of "Today's BEERS!" has limited cans and draft beers lined up all over the place.
MugiWhoa! Two limited canned beers too? And all that in Otemachi? That's the kind of place that would pull in people coming off work!
Hop BroFirst up is Sansho Lager. It uses domestically produced Japanese pepper supervised by Hachioji's "Unagi Takase," and it's a lager that brings out aroma and crispness, with the spice showing through cleanly.
MugiJapanese pepper in beer!? I always hear about a lager's crisp finish, but I never quite understand what exactly is supposed to be crisp!
Hop BroCrispness means a light aftertaste. It doesn't leave a heavy lingering finish, so after you drink it, you feel like taking another sip right away. The aroma of sansho adds a sharp little kick on top of that, so it seems like it would go well with food too.
MugiI get it! Then what about Sauna Beer? Passion fruit tartness and gentle saltiness already make me want to drink it drenched in sweat just from the name!
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is the balance of acidity and saltiness. It's the kind of beer you want after sweating a lot, with the salt tightening the flavor and the passion fruit giving it a bright lift.
MugiWait, aren't the regular beers a lot too? The lager selection is amazing, and they even have Hoegaarden White and Weizenbock. Just choosing sounds like enough to get tipsy!
Hop BroExactly, and the IPA traffic jam is impressive too. Ocean Avenue, Alternative IPA, and even Shiga Kogen Beer's Africa Pale Ale are all there, so it's a lineup that's fun for comparing hop aromas.
MugiI'm curious about the dark ones too! Imperial stout sounds strong just from the name, and if there's one with banana and maple in it, then today definitely calls for going all in!
Hop BroAnd since it's directly connected to Otemachi Station, it's also perfect for pairing with tacos. There's a Golden Week closure notice, so checking first is necessary, but this definitely feels like a place where one drink won't be enough.
MugiYeah, after reading this I totally want to go out for a drink! I'd love to toast while deciding whether to start with Sansho Lager or settle in with Sauna Beer!
Tap List Updated on April 30
On the April 30 update of "Today's BEERS!" at Craft Beer Market Otemachi Store, two limited canned beers from CRAFTROCK BREWING appear first. One is Sansho Lager. Made with domestically produced Japanese pepper supervised by Hachioji's "Unagi Takase," it is a lager designed with aroma and crispness in mind. The other is Sauna Beer, a drink characterized by the bright tartness of passion fruit and a gentle salty note. Both are listed as 250 ml and are available in limited quantities.
The standard range is also well stocked. In addition to Asahi Super Dry, Kirin Heartland, and Carlsberg, there are lively lager-style beers such as KOBO Brewery Premium Pilsner, Gotemba Kogen Beer Pils, and SCHMATZ Lager. In the white/wheat category, Hoegaarden White, SCHMATZ Weizen, and Gotemba Kogen Beer Weizenbock are on offer, making it easy to compare different drinking profiles.
If you're looking for beers with strong aroma, the IPA lineup is especially worth a look. CRAFTROCK Brewing Ocean Avenue, Alternative IPA, Joy Hopposites, Shiga Kogen Beer Africa Pale Ale, Ushitora Brewery Ushitora Man Dyna IPA, Yamaguchi Chibeer IPA, NOMCRAFT BREWING Mystic Tiger [Hazy IPA], and Johana Beer Kagayaki Wheat Seven are all available, letting you enjoy a wide range of hop expressions. In the dark-beer section, VERTERE Clusia [Imperial Stout w/ Banana & Maple Syrup], KOBO Brewery Dark Lager, Gotemba Kogen Beer Schwarz, and CRAFTROCK Brewing S'MORE MAN also stand out.
The shop is directly connected to Otemachi Station Exit A1 and C2C Exit, and while it is located among skyscrapers, one of its attractions is being able to enjoy Mexican food together with craft beer. It pairs well with dishes like tacos and burritos, making it a convenient stop after work. As the post title suggests, there is a closure notice for Golden Week, so it is a good idea to check the business status before visiting.
