Bouchon Craftcompany in Akebonobashi Lists Diverse Craft Beer Taps
Bouchon Craftcompany, a beer pub in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has shared a varied craft beer tap list featuring breweries from Japan and overseas, including KOBO Brewery, Kyoto Brewing, and BLACK TIDE BREWING.
Hop BroLet’s check out the varied tap list at BOUCHON CRAFTCOMPANY—“Bushokura”—in Akebonobashi. It has distinctive beers from Japan and abroad.
MugiWhoa! You can drink all that in Akebonobashi? A lineup including five labels sounds like I’d get lost just choosing!
Hop BroFirst up is KOBO Brewery from Toyama and its Premiant Pilsner. Its moderate bitterness and hoppy aroma make it wonderfully food-friendly.
MugiI hear “pilsner” all the time, but what is it? Can I understand a Czech-style flavor without speaking Czech?
Hop BroAbsolutely—you can speak through beer. A pilsner is a crisp kind of lager. The work of lager yeast, fermenting slowly at low temperatures, gives it that clean finish.
MugiSpeaking through beer is expert-level! And Hideji Beer’s KURI KURO chestnut stout has my attention. Chestnuts in dark beer feels like an autumn cheat code!
Hop BroIt uses chestnuts from Miyazaki as an adjunct, so you can savor their aroma and flavor. Picture a dark beer’s roastiness meeting gentle chestnut sweetness.
MugiWhat is this, a drinkable dessert—no, a proper beer! What about Kyoto Brewing’s Autumn Whim 2026 on tap seven?
Hop BroIt’s a 6.5% ABV RED IPA, with citrus and pine-like aromas plus a lightly toasted note. IPA means a hop-forward ale with expressive aroma.
MugiWe’re drinking pine trees now?! Does a piney aroma mean planting a bonsai in my glass?
Hop BroNo bonsai in the beer! “Piney” describes a fresh pine- or resin-like aroma. BLACK TIDE BREWING’s Kesennuma Pride balances that with citrus and a gentle malt backbone.
MugiFrom Fuller’s LONDON PRIDE to West Coast Brewing’s 8.5% HAZY DIPA Full Hop Alchemist, I want the three 150ml tasting flight! Hop bro, let’s hurry to Akebonobashi!
