Bibibi. in Daikanyama to Host Isana Brewing Visit Event on August 16
Bibibi., a craft beer pub in Daikanyama, Tokyo, will host Isana Brewing owner-brewer Yoshihiro Senda on August 16. Several beers from the brewery are scheduled to be on tap, with guests able to enjoy them while hearing directly from the brewer.
Hop BroDaikanyama’s Bibibi. is hosting an Isana Brewing guest event on August 16 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Owner-brewer Yasuhiro Chida will be there in person, and that’s a pretty great setup.
MugiWhat, the actual brewer is coming ? So you get to drink while hearing from the person who made the beer? That feels weirdly luxurious!
Hop BroExactly. There’s no cover charge, and it’s pay-as-you-order style , so you can just grab a beer or two without committing to some huge ticketed thing.
MugiOoh, easy to drop in is my kind of event. I’m still new to craft beer, so anything less intimidating is a win!
Hop BroHere’s the fun part: Isana is a microbrewery founded in Akishima in 2018, and they do classic styles too while also making stuff like an emerald-green beer that looks like cream soda and even a beer brewed with otoso.
MugiHold on, what’s a microbrewery ? Is that just a small brewery? Because now I’m picturing a secret lab full of tiny bubbling tanks.
Hop BroThat’s basically the idea. Smaller-scale brewing makes it easier to experiment, so the brewer’s ideas show up more directly in the glass. That’s how you get wildly distinctive batches like these.
MugiBeer with otoso? Seriously? The range of ideas is out of control. It sounds like New Year’s Day crashed into a beer bar.
Hop BroAnd they’re planning to open multiple Isana beers that night, so you can compare them while hearing about Chida’s background and brewing philosophy. It’s basically guided tasting by the maker .
MugiThat rules. You’re not just drinking flavor, you’re drinking context too. Knowing the story behind the beer would make every sip hit harder.
Hop BroThat’s why it fits Bibibi. so well. The place really values sharing Japanese craft beer together with the people and stories behind it. This is such a proper beer-pub event .
MugiAugust 16 at 6 p.m., locked in. I totally want that tasting flight now, and I kind of need to meet the man behind the emerald-green beer too.
Bibibi., the craft beer bar in Daikanyama, Tokyo, will host a brewery visit event on Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The event features Yoshihiro Senda, owner-brewer of Isana Brewing. Admission is free, and drinks will be ordered in the usual cash-on style.
The session is billed as "Getting to Know the Mysterious Brewer Senda from Akishima." It is a chance to enjoy beer while hearing directly from the person who makes it. Isana Brewing, founded in 2018 in Akishima, Tokyo, is known for playful brews such as emerald-green cream-soda-like beer and a beer made with otoso, while also producing a wide range of standard styles.
Several Isana Brewing beers are planned to be on tap that day. For drinkers, the appeal is not only the lineup itself but also the chance to taste it alongside the brewer's own story. Bibibi. focuses on serving Japanese craft beer together with the stories behind the makers, and its standing-bar format in Daikanyama makes it easy to drop in alone and enjoy a casual first drink.
It should be a good fit for anyone who likes to learn about a brewery before taking the first sip, or who wants an excuse to discover a new name in Japanese craft beer.
