Two wood-barrel fermented drinks on tap at a Ginza beer pub

At Bakushiya Rupurin, on the 3rd floor of the Urano Building in Ginza 6-chome, two guest offerings from @brasserie_lupuron are on tap. The drinks introduced in the post are the wood-barrel fermented Chardonnay and the still-unreleased Pinot Gris. The key point this time is that both can be enjoyed on tap.

Chardonnay is designed by fermenting wort in wooden barrels using the grape skins left after wine production, layering the aroma of cedar barrels with the aroma derived from Chardonnay. It's a bottle that lets you imagine its many layers of fragrance. The other, Pinot Gris, is built around a crisp citrus aroma while supporting its fruitiness with Alsace-grown hops. Because it's on tap at the pre-release stage, the window to encounter it in the shop is likely limited.

Bakushiya Rupurin is a small bar where you can enjoy sake and ingredients from distinctive small domestic producers. It is known as a place that always keeps six craft beers on tap, and it's a calm spot where beer fans can focus on what's in the glass. The post also notes that it opens today at 3 p.m., is closed from the 17th through the 19th, and resumes normal business from 5 p.m. on the 20th, so it's worth checking the business days before visiting.

Key Points

- Guest taps are the two varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris
- Both are wood-barrel fermented drinks from @brasserie_lupuron
- A Ginza beer pub where you can carefully taste the nuances of draft service
