Tap Info

At Craftbeer&cafe Kura in Moto-Komagome, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, Baeren's "Classic Beer" has been tapped. In an Instagram post dated "4/2", the shop announced that there is less than a month left until closing, and that April 29 and 30 will be the final business days.

In-Store Atmosphere

The photos in the post show a calm, beer-pub-like space lined with wooden tables and a counter. There is enough room to slowly enjoy a drink from a large glass, making it clear this is a place suited to stopping by for a beer nearby. Its location on the first floor of Foresta Rikugien also makes it easy to drop in during a stroll.

Beer on Tap

The star this time is Baeren Brewery's "Classic Beer." In the photo, a golden pour topped with a generous head is served, making this a reason to visit first and foremost for this label. The post also adds, "Please come by for a relaxed drink," conveying that this is being offered as a guest beer to enjoy without pretense.

Pairing With Food

It also notes that bamboo-shoot dishes are now available, along with a recommendation to try it with butterbur sprout tempura, making it easy to imagine pairing the beer with spring flavors. With Baeren's standard beer in hand, and seasonal snacks on the side, this is the kind of place that suits that style of slow, easygoing drinking.
