Hinomoto Brewing lists 10 taps for its July 19 opening in Honkomagome
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome announced a 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. opening on Sunday, July 19, with 10 beers on tap and a separate mobile pour at a Komagome summer event.
Hop BroHonkomagome is all about Hinomoto Brewing today. On July 19 they open at 3 p.m., and the taproom is pouring ten in-house focused beers in one shot.
MugiWait, all 10 taps are on, and they’re pouring at the Komagome event too? I need a clone of myself immediately!
Hop BroExactly. From Sauvin Belgo to Rolling Lolly to Kurotobi #4, it’s a seriously broad lineup from hoppy stuff to dark pours.
MugiBut hold on, what even is Gose? Pineapple Gose sounds less like beer and more like a tropical spell!
Hop BroGose is a light style with a little tartness and a hint of salinity, basically savory-refreshing beer in simple terms. Add pineapple and it turns into a total summer cheat code.
MugiOhhh! Then I need to know about the new Mashup IPA Ekuanot too. Ekuanot hops are a flavor thing, not the name of a robot hero, right?
Hop BroDefinitely a flavor thing. Ekuanot can throw melon and citrus notes, and when it meets Belgian yeast you get layered aroma depth that really pops. That’s part of the fun with Belgo-style beers like Sauvin Belgo.
MugiWhat! And Seiten Raimei #2 plus EL BAMP HAZY have low-stock warning labels, right? That sounds like a ‘show up late, cry early’ situation!
Hop BroThat’s exactly it. The West Coast IPA Seiten Raimei #2 and the Hazy IPA EL BAMP HAZY are early-hour targets, and from 3 p.m. there’s also festival beer service at Peekaboo, so Komagome turns into a full beer-walk route.
MugiThen it’s settled. Walk first, pint in Honkomagome after, and I want Komagome Best Bitter plus Ryusui Soso #2 too. I want everything and my throat is already more prepared than my stomach!
Hop BroThat is the correct conclusion. Start easy with Komagome Best Bitter, finish with Kurotobi #4 if you want, but right now my drink order is jammed with too many good choices.
MugiI’m ready to dive straight into that traffic jam! Taproom or Peekaboo, either way I desperately want a Komagome cheers today!
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand in Honkomagome shared its service plan for Sunday, July 19. The taproom will open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., offering a lineup built around the brewery's own craft beer.
Beers on tap
- Sauvin Belgo / American Belgo Style Ale, 6%
- ぺーぺーぺー / Norwegian Pale Ale, 5.5%
- (Running low) 晴天雷鳴 #2 / West coast IPA, 7.5%
- 流水草々 #2 / Italian Pilsner, 5.5%
- (NEW) Mashup IPA Ekuanot / Belgian IPA, 6.5%

The lineup covers a wide range of styles, from hop-forward IPAs to a pilsner, a bitter, a sour-ish gose, and a stout. New release Mashup IPA Ekuanot joins several beers marked as running low, so the early hours may be the best time to catch the fullest selection.
A local beer stop in Komagome
Hinomoto Brewing & Beer Stand is a brewery taproom in Bunkyo, Tokyo. The space is beer-first, with a minimal food offering in regular service, which makes it a straightforward stop for a quick pint or a short beer-focused session before or after walking around the neighborhood.
The post also notes an off-site pour at the Komagome Summer Festival, held the same day from 3:00 p.m. at the Peekaboo childcare cafe. That means drinkers can find Hinomoto's beer both at the taproom and out in the local Komagome area on the same day.
