Uchoten Jozo’s BUDDY taps at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido
On July 31, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido announced a new tap: BUDDY from Uchoten Jozo. It is a Czech Premium Pale Lager, and the post says it tastes especially good after three or four sips.
Hop BroNews from Kameido today: BUDDY is on tap at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS. It's a fresh guest pour from Uchoten Brewing, and that definitely gets my attention.
MugiWait, a Kameido beer pub just tapped something called BUDDY? That name already sounds more approachable than half the people I know!
Hop BroAnd the style is a Czech Premium Pale Lager. It uses Czech malt and hops, so it drinks light but still has a solid backbone.
MugiWhoa, but premium pale lager sounds like quiz-night vocabulary. How is that different from just regular lager?
Hop BroThe big clue is the clean lager snap. It finishes crisp and clears out fried food instead of letting the oil hang around. Fancy version: strong palate reset.
MugiWhat is that, a palate reset button? I love it. You're describing beer like it's tech support for my mouth.
Hop BroBest part, the post says it's tastiest if you drink it in 3–4 sips. Not a slow museum beer, more like catch the rhythm while it's bright.
MugiBeer with drinking instructions is cracking me up. Like BUDDY is standing there going, first sip, second sip, move it!
Hop BroAnd GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a counter-seat kind of pub, calm and unfussy. Starting with BUDDY and then moving to richer styles makes total sense there.
MugiIf the lineup runs from hazy to porter, I'm in trouble. But okay, BUDDY first, then fish and chips, then a serious strategy meeting.
Hop BroThat's the move. The toasty fried coating meets that lager perfectly, and the salt gets cut just enough. It sounds ideal for a quiet beer night in Kameido.
MugiNow I seriously want a pint right now. BUDDY with crispy fish and chips sounds like a friendship I need immediately!
New tap
On July 31, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS announced a new tap: BUDDY from Uchoten Jozo. The beer is a Czech Premium Pale Lager. The post describes it as something that really comes into its own after three or four sips, which points to a crisp, easy-drinking lager with a clean finish.
A good fit for fish and chips
GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is a small, counter-focused beer pub in Kameido. As the name suggests, fish and chips are a core part of the experience, so the bar naturally leans into the classic pairing of fried food and beer. It is the kind of place where a straightforward lager can do a lot of work: refreshing the palate, handling the salt and batter, and setting up the next bite.
What else is on the board
The official menu also lists `Orochi Sui 2026 Nanakanba ver.` from Matsue Beer Hearn, `CAMOUFLAGE` from Nara Brewing, `Natsuake` from North Island, and `Ogawa Porter` from Bakusokoku Kobo. With lager, hazy IPA, California Common, and porter in rotation, the bar offers a broad range of styles while staying compact and approachable.
If you want a simple, beer-first stop in Kameido, this is a place to keep on your radar. Start with BUDDY, pair it with fish and chips, and then work through the rest of the taps from there.
