RIOT BEER to Host Obanzai Day on April 28, with Golden Week Eve Hours Also Announced
The brewpub RIOT BEER in Setagaya, Tokyo, will be open from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on April 28. Announced as the regular Tuesday "Junko-san's Obanzai Day," it looks like a chance to enjoy a drink ahead of Golden Week.
Hop BroAt RIOT BEER in Setagaya, April 28 is Junko-san's Obanzai Day. I like that it's not just beer, but a day where you can properly enjoy a meal too.
MugiHuh, what's Obanzai Day? It's a beer event, but somehow the food sounds too good to be fair!
Hop BroRIOT BEER is a small brewery and taproom about a 7-minute walk from Soshigaya-Okura Station on the Odakyu Line. Even though it's in a residential area, the charm is that you can just drop in for a quick drink.
MugiWow, a beer spot in a residential neighborhood feels a bit like a secret base! But when you hear brewery, you suddenly get that 'this sounds complicated' face, right?
Hop BroThat's where malt-forward comes in. It pushes the sweetness and toasty aroma of the malt to the front, creating a richer drinking experience, and that's the core of RIOT BEER.
MugiMalt is that malted barley thing, right? So this means toasty-flavor-focused beer? It suddenly feels like a bakery and now I'm hungry!
Hop BroExactly, that's the idea. And RIOT BEER pours a wide range of styles, from English and Belgian to hoppy American, so it's fun how the character changes when you compare them.
MugiWhoa, that's a huge style range! If they go from mellow malty beers to hop-bomb American ones, one day might not be enough!
Hop BroWhat's more, they're open from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on April 28, so it's easy to stop by after work. For a drink on the eve of Golden Week, the timing is just right.
MugiNice, just the phrase 'a drink before Golden Week' makes it feel special. If I ate obanzai and drank slowly, I feel like even my heart would unwind.
Hop BroA drink in Setagaya, and then heading into event season from there - that's a good flow. First, let's toast on RIOT BEER's business day, and get our appetites and moods in order too.
MugiAgreed! The combination of obanzai and craft beer is enough to make me want a drink just from reading it, and now my mouth has already learned beer for today!

At the brewpub "RIOT BEER" in Kinuta, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, business hours have been announced for April 28, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The post says the day will be run as "Junko-san's Obanzai Day," so it should be a day where you can enjoy food along with beer.
RIOT BEER is a small brewery and taproom about a 7-minute walk from Soshigaya-Okura Station on the Odakyu Line. Even though it's in a residential neighborhood, the taproom has a laid-back atmosphere where you can drop in for just one drink.
According to the shop's description, its brewing focus is malt-forward. It specializes in beers with a rich mouthfeel that bring out the sweet, toasty character of malt.
As for the kinds of beers available, they include malty English-style, Belgian-style, and hoppy American-style beers, making it a brewery suited to people who want to compare a wide range of styles. Rather than flashy gimmicks, it's the kind of place for people looking for craft beer you can enjoy slowly as part of everyday life.
The post also notes that the next day marks the start of Golden Week, and announces upcoming plans after the weekend: "BEER FEST 2026" at AEON Mall Makuhari, followed by "The Beer Exhibition" in Kashiwazaki.
