Beer Pub Ishii, on Yomise-dori in Sendagi, Tokyo, is a compact beer pub focused on Japanese craft beer and a rotating tap list. It is the kind of place where the lineup changes often, so a visit is always a little different from the last one.

In the latest post, the pub says it is operating with one person on duty, which means food service is limited for the day. Guests may bring food in, but sharing plates is not allowed. The message makes it clear that this is a beer-first kind of session.

On tap


- Ushitora Brewery: "Sen no Sake ni Natte"
- Kanpai! Brewing: "Nozokizaka Kölsch"
- Let's Beer Works: "Heavy Swing"
- Hop Kotan Brewing: "ONE LAP BEHIND"

Coming up


- New Moon Beer: oatmeal stout
- Hansharo Beer: "Freshly Brewed Green Tea Ale"
- Shiga Kogen Beer: "SNOW MONKEY IPA" silver-label version
- Hop Kotan Brewing: "AKIRA Tsugiko"

That mix covers a wide range, from a crisp Kölsch to stout and IPA options with more depth. For beer fans, it is the kind of low-key day where the tap list itself becomes the main attraction.
