Beer Pub Ishii announces eight draft beers paired with potato salad, with AYAYA served April 13-14
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Tokyo, shared its latest tap lineup on Instagram, designed to be enjoyed with potato salad. It introduces four beers on tap now and four more awaiting opening, and also announces its "Izakaya AYAYA" service from April 13 to 14.
Hop BroThis time, Beer Pub Ishii’s tap guide in Sendagi is interesting because it’s built around potato salad. They even bring in pickled boiled eggs and anchovies, and it’s the kind of thing that makes your stomach growl before the beer even starts.
MugiWhat, they’re pairing potato salad and beer that seriously!? That alone makes it feel way more like an izakaya, and it’s so stylish I’m kind of nervous!
Hop BroWhat’s more, the four beers available now are Kanpai! Brewing’s Nozokizaka Kölsch, Hansharo Beer’s New World Kölsch HOPPY, Hop Kotan Brewing’s nonno-Nonno-, and Sankt Gallen’s Pale Ale. It’s a lineup centered on lighter styles that really complement food.
MugiKölsch, huh? I get that it means light and easy to drink, but the name already sounds strong, doesn’t it? I feel like I’d get knocked out by it!
Hop BroKölsch is a crisp, elegant style that leans toward lager, and its light drinkability is the key appeal. Put a hoppy Kölsch and a Pale Ale alongside it, and they won’t get in the way of the potato salad’s richness - they bring out the umami instead.
MugiI see! Then it should go well with the saltiness of the boiled egg and anchovy too, and it’s the kind of thing that makes you want another round!
Hop BroExactly. And waiting to be tapped are Let's Beer Works' Southbound IPA, North Island's Cross Breeze and Ginzy, and Hitachino Nest's Nest Lager. Since IPA and lager are both in the queue, the character should shift a lot every time a keg changes.
MugiWhoa, so the keg rotation changes it that much! That basically gives you a reason to go every time, right? I totally want to keep coming back!
Hop BroAnd from April 13 to 14, there’s also notice of Izakaya AYAYA service. Very much in Beer Pub Ishii’s style, it’s a plan built around pairing food and craft beer, and it looks like a really good fit for a casual drink.
MugiA casual drink in Sendagi sounds amazing just by itself! If I could stop by after work, I feel like it would melt all the stress away!
Hop BroThen today’s move is to work through the light draft beers one by one with potato salad in hand. Just reading about it made my throat dry, so this is already turning into a plan for the two of us to go out for drinks.
MugiLet’s go! I won’t be able to sleep until I’ve actually checked the potato salad and draft beer pairing for myself!

Meanwhile, the beers listed as waiting to be tapped are Let's Beer Works' "Southbound IPA," North Island's "Cross Breeze" and "Ginzy," and Hitachino Nest's "Nest Lager." With IPA, lager, and other characterful labels lined up, the flavor range should widen even more as the kegs rotate.
