Hop BroToday's topic is the 12 taps Okei Brewery Nippori in Higashi-Nippori put out for March 19. You really shouldn't miss this!
MugiWhat! Twelve kinds!? And from Kölsch to HAZY, the range is wild!
Hop BroExactly, and the lineup is solid. With 10 house-brewed beers plus 2 guest taps, it stays focused while still giving you plenty of choices.
MugiThat sounds interesting! But honestly, every time I hear "Gose," I'm still kind of fuzzy on what it actually is...!
Hop BroGose is basically a style with a salty note and a gentle acidity, so something like Shio no Kaze Gose goes well with food.
MugiOh wow! Then the one with the super striking name, Shinsan Kanbitter, is basically a traffic jam of flavor information just from the title!
Hop BroThat's part of the fun. Start with Nippori Kölsch and Helles to get your palate set, then move toward the heavier ones and the comparison comes together nicely.
MugiWait, when you said the setup was hop-forward, what does that actually look like?
Hop BroFor example, beers like Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge and OKEI IPA lean into that aroma-explosion OKEI IPA style, where citrusy character really comes to the front.
MugiAnd they even say there are a few table seats available that day, so you can just swing by after work. That's awesome!
Hop BroThey've also got all-you-can-drink courses starting from 4,500 yen, and with food on top of that, it's basically settled: one drink in Nippori tonight.
Tokyo's Arakawa Ward Higashi-Nippori Okei Brewery Nippori has released its tap information for Thursday, March 19, 2026. This lineup, fitting for a brewery that carries its name, is centered on its own beers. The post also notes the seating situation for the day as "a few tables and counter seats available," making it a convenient time for everything from a drink after work to a visit with a group.
The highlight of the day is the wide range of drinking styles, from clean profiles like Nippori Kölsch and Helles to hop-forward beers such as Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge and OKEI IPA. In addition, the lineup includes salt- and acid-driven beers like Shio no Kaze Gose, as well as a glass with a distinctive name like Shinsan Kanbitter, making it an easy set for side-by-side comparisons.
The guest taps feature HINO BREWING "Screwdriver" and Y.MARKET BREWING "PEOPLE". Even though this is a brewpub centered on its own brewing, mixing in beers from outside breweries adds depth to the options and makes the lineup especially appealing.
The post also mentions all-you-can-drink courses starting at 4,500 yen and recommended food for the day. It is a lineup that works not only for people who want to focus on beer, but also for those who want to settle in and spend the evening pairing drinks with food.
