Hop BroHongo Kikusakacho Kamosu in Tokyo is sharing seasonal opening updates on Instagram. It sounds perfect for a beer after a stroll around town.
MugiWhat! It’s a brewery-and-beer stand? So they brew beer inside and serve it right there?
Hop BroExactly. It’s in Hongo 5-chome near the University of Tokyo’s Akamon Gate, and walkable from Hongo-sanchome Station. Their lineup centers on house-brewed craft beer.
MugiNice! A beer after exploring a student neighborhood sounds wonderful. But “Kamosu” sounds like a mysterious fermentation spell.
Hop BroGood instinct. “Kamosu” means to ferment or brew, so the name evokes a place that brews beer. It has real brewery spirit.
MugiNo way! Could I “ferment Mugi-chan” into a more sophisticated adult? Where do I even buy the yeast?!
Hop BroLet’s begin with a toast instead. Their beer names are packed with local affection; the bitter ale Hongo Pub Rock practically pulls you into a pub.
MugiI’m curious about “Kaneyasu Kara wa Mugi,” too! A pale ale with local history in its name makes drinking feel like an adventure.
Hop BroThere’s also the IPA Kikusaka Fry Day, Belgian white Sa-Ku-Ra-Sa-Ku Plus, and stout Bungo Paradise. With seasonal limited brews, every visit can bring a new discovery.
MugiIPA and Belgian white suddenly sound like beer-world special moves! So, what is Belgian white?
Hop BroIt’s often brewed with wheat and can have bright citrus and spice-like notes. Compared with hoppy IPA or roasty stout, it has a soft, easy finish.
MugiGot it—Belgian white after a walk, then an IPA! Since outside food is welcome, let’s check Instagram before visiting and go toast in Hongo!
Hongo Kikusaka-cho Camos, a small urban brewery and beer stand in Hongo, Bunkyo, Tokyo, has published a new Instagram post. Opening with the friendly greeting “Hello, this is Hongo Kikusaka-cho Camos🍻,” the post reflects the brewery’s welcoming, community-oriented character.
Located near the University of Tokyo’s Akamon Gate, the taproom combines a compact brewing facility with a casual place to enjoy beer. Hongo-sanchome Station is within walking distance, making the brewery an easy stop during a visit to the neighborhood.
The brewery has developed beers inspired by Hongo’s local history and culture, including the bitter ale Hongo Pub Rock, pale ale Kaneyasu Kara wa Mugi, IPA Kikusaka Fry Day, Belgian witbier Sa-Ku-Ra-Sa-Ku+, and stout Bungo Paradise. Seasonal and limited releases add variety for returning guests.
Owner and brewer Sam was inspired to open a brewery after experiencing Germany’s neighborhood brewing culture, where small breweries are part of everyday city life. After opening in 2023, Hongo Kikusaka-cho Camos began brewing on site and has continued working toward its goal of connecting Hongo’s people, history, and food culture through beer.
Guests can also bring food purchased from nearby shops and restaurants, making it easy to pair a fresh pint with local takeout after exploring Kikusaka and Hongo. Visitors should check the brewery’s official Instagram for current opening hours and available beers before stopping by.
