Store Features


Danky Beer Store is a craft beer standing bar located in Sakae 1-chome, Naka Ward, Nagoya City. Inside, there is a large L-shaped counter, and the refrigerator cases along the walls are lined with domestic and imported canned and bottled beers. It also has 8 taps on draft, and another distinctive feature is the rare swing faucet. Since it opens from noon, it is an easy stop when you want to start drinking early in the Fushimi area.

What to Drink For


Blazing Buds 2026 is a style that makes it easy to appreciate both the malt depth and the hop character, as an amber IPA should. First, check the aroma and drinking impression on draft, and if you like it, choose from the store’s can-and-bottle lineup as well; that makes the comparison tasting that is so characteristic of Danky Beer Store even more enjoyable. This arrival also gives a sense of the close relationship between the store and the brewery, with a beer celebrating a local anniversary landing at a shop that supports Nagoya’s craft beer scene.
