Yanaka Beer Hall offers a tasting set of four original house beers in a 1938 folk house
Yanaka Beer Hall in Uenosakuragi, Taito City, is featuring a tasting set of four original craft beers. Housed in a folk house built in 1938 and equipped with air conditioning, the beer pub offers a comfortable place to slow down and enjoy a pint.
Hop BroI've got the perfect post-walk topic today: Yanaka Beer Hall is serving a tasting set of four original craft beers.
MugiWait, a four-beer tasting? That's already a win. And this is in Yanaka?
Hop BroYep, it's in Ueno Sakuragi Atari, and the place is a 1938 traditional house turned into a beer pub, so the atmosphere does half the work.
MugiNo way, that sounds amazing. And a fully air-conditioned interior in summer? That's heroic.
Hop BroThe lineup is smart too: Yanaka Dry is a light pilsner, built for a crisp first sip.
MugiOkay, but what is a weizen? That sounds less like beer and more like a boss battle.
Hop BroA weizen uses wheat, so you get a soft, fluffy mouthfeel and gentle aroma. That's the appeal of Yanaka Weizen.
MugiGot it. Then how is Yanaka Golden different from Yanaka Beer, the altbier? These names feel like I'll be quizzed later.
Hop BroYanaka Golden has a clean, refreshing profile, while Yanaka Beer leans maltier and fuller. Altbier, put simply, gives you more of that toasty grain depth.
MugiWow, so one set lets you compare aroma and bitterness differences side by side? Even I could follow that!
Hop BroExactly. It sounds like the brewery's personality is right in the glass, and now I want my first pour to be Yanaka Dry.
MugiThen it's settled. After a Yanaka stroll, we're getting the original four-beer tasting, and I'm finishing all four while you order another round.
Four original beers in a historic house

The Instagram post highlights the bar’s original tasting set, which lets guests compare four house beers side by side:
