6 p.m. opening notice

Novel Craft, a beer pub on the second floor of the Kazama Building at 4-13-9 Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, announced a 6:00 p.m. opening for the day. The post also mentions snacks, which fits the kind of easygoing stop-in style that makes the bar work well for a beer after work.

Today’s tap list

- Brasserie De la Senne / Zinnebir
- Celladoor / True Born
- CRAFTROCK / Ocean Avenue
- Novel Craft Brewing / Echo
- Left Hand / Peanut Butter Milk Stout
- Novel Craft Brewing / Delay
- Novel Craft × Cave D'occi / Reflection
- Novel Craft Brewing / Reloop

The lineup mixes Belgian Brasserie De la Senne, U.S. brewery Left Hand, three house beers from Novel Craft Brewing, and a collaboration beer with Cave D'occi. That balance makes the tap list feel distinctly tied to the bar’s identity while still offering plenty of variety for a tasting flight or a single pint. Zinnebir brings a classic anchor point, while Peanut Butter Milk Stout adds a richer, dessert-like option.

Set just off the Koban-dori area in Chitose-Karasuyama, Novel Craft feels like the kind of pub where the beer comes first and the rest follows naturally. For drinkers who like rotating taps and a place that encourages a relaxed hop from one beer to the next, this is a strong one to note.
