BATHE YOTSUME BREWERY: Four Standard Beers and a Limited Set You’ll Want After a Bathhouse Visit
BATHE YOTSUME BREWERY in Oshiage is a brewery themed around having a drink after a bathhouse visit. Alongside four standard brews made for post-soak drinking, you can also enjoy a limited menu using SUNRISE, making it a distinctly downtown spot.
Hop BroToday it’s BATHE YOTSUME BREWERY in Oshiage. The whole idea of having a drink after the bathhouse is already amazing, and it feels like even the lingering steam would mix into the beer.
MugiWait! A “drink after the bathhouse” sounds that specific, and somehow still delicious? Beer after a bath makes life feel suddenly put together!
Hop BroThe place itself is great too. It’s a space with brewing equipment, and since it has a beer bar plus a DJ booth, you can enjoy the whole atmosphere, not just the drinks.
MugiOh, wow! But if there are four regular beers, I feel like I’d get lost just looking at the menu... What kind of lineup is this so-called “four pillars” thing?
Hop BroFirst, FOREST is a Weizen made with birch branches and leaves, and it gives off a soft forest-bathing kind of aroma. It’s like it suddenly forces a walk in the woods onto your body right after a bath.
MugiWait, birch branches and leaves!? A “forest-bathing aroma” sounds like a beer with park-bench energy! It sounds refreshing, but isn’t that a little too nature-heavy?
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. SHOWER and SQUALL are complete opposites: SHOWER is an IPA with bright citrus hop aroma and bitterness, while SQUALL is a hazy IPA with a layered mouthfeel.
MugiWhat is that! Just from the contrast between aroma and bitterness, they sound totally different in personality. SHOWER is sharp, SQUALL is murky and rich, right?
Hop BroExactly. And the key point is the limited menu built around SUNRISE, which uses a pale ale with restrained sweetness as its base and ties together bathhouses, anime, and the atmosphere of downtown neighborhoods.
MugiOh wow! And if the lineup is easy to compare side by side, that’s friendly even for beginners. It’s nice that it works well not just for beer drinkers, but also for people who aren’t drinking!
Hop BroIt’s walkable from Oshiage, and it’s perfect to pair with a bathhouse crawl. Let’s make it a post-soak drink today, Mugi. Honestly, though, my throat has already lined up before I have.
MugiAgreed! The moment I heard it was a post-bathhouse classic, I was already in full drinking mode. Today I want to start with FOREST and then end by getting all reflective with SUNRISE!
Beer That Carries the Afterglow of the Bathhouse
BATHE YOTSUME BREWERY is a brewery and beer bar in Narihira, Sumida City, Tokyo. The shop’s concept is “beer to enjoy after a bath.” Brewing equipment lines the back of the interior, and in a space with a beer bar and DJ booth, you can taste freshly brewed craft beer.
The Beers You Can Drink: Four Pillars for After the Bath
The best-known regular offerings are four varieties with different personalities.
- FOREST: A Weizen made with birch branches and leaves, giving it a fragrance that evokes a walk in the woods
- SUNRISE: A pale ale characterized by restrained sweetness
- SHOWER: An IPA centered on citrus hop aroma and a firm bitterness
- SQUALL: A hazy IPA with a layered, dimensional mouthfeel
Its lineup is easy to compare side by side, making it a good choice not only for a drink after the bathhouse, but also for anyone who wants to compare beer styles. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available, which makes it especially easy for drinkers and non-drinkers to spend time together.
Limited Menu Items Are Worth Watching Too
As part of related projects, a limited menu featuring SUNRISE has also appeared. Centered on the brewery’s signature beer, the concept connects bathhouses, anime, and the atmosphere of downtown neighborhoods. In addition to the standard tasting lineup, these limited offerings are another part of BATHE YOTSUME BREWERY’s appeal.
The Atmosphere of the Shop
It is within walking distance of Oshiage Station, making it easy to combine with visits to nearby bathhouses. A calm space with the warmth of wood, a counter reminiscent of a bathhouse, and the brewing process visible through the tanks. It is not just a taproom, but a place designed to enjoy beer as an extension of bathhouse culture.
It is the kind of place where “just one drink after a soak” feels completely natural, so it suits not only bathhouse fans but also anyone looking for more range in how they enjoy beer.
