CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch taps Gotenba Kogen Beer’s Pils
CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch announced Gotenba Kogen Beer’s Pils in an Instagram post on June 29. The beer pub near Tokyo Station pours 30 draft craft beers year-round and pairs them with gyoza and spice dishes.
Hop BroThere’s a spot by Tokyo Station called CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch pouring Gotemba Kogen Beer’s guest tap, Pils, and that’s exactly my kind of news.
MugiWait, that close to the station? Gotemba Kogen Beer Pils already sounds crisp just from the name!
Hop BroIt’s a classic pils style, so you get a clean, snappy finish that makes it feel like an easy, reliable pick.
MugiOkay, but what is a pils exactly? Lager, pilsner, pils... why does beer suddenly have cousins everywhere?
Hop BroA pils is a bottom-fermented lager, brewed cool and slow, which keeps it clean and makes it really easy to drink.
MugiSo the scary technical words just mean super crushable beer? That is extremely helpful information.
Hop BroAnd the bar keeps 30 taps on draft all the time, starting from 690 yen, so pils is a perfect gateway into a tasting run.
MugiThirty taps? That’s a refrigerator festival! And three minutes from Tokyo Station is way too convenient.
Hop BroThe food setup is strong too: gyoza and spice dishes like house-made dumplings and Mao-style fried chicken work beautifully with that crisp pils finish.
MugiThat sounds ridiculous in the best way. If I can drink at the counter or terrace, I’m ready to win my after-work hour.
Hop BroIt’s the kind of place where even looking at the taps feels good, and starting with an easy first pint is exactly the right move.
MugiThen it’s settled. I’m fully in pils-and-gyoza mode, so Hop Bro, you’re leading the way!
Guest beer: Gotenba Kogen Beer “Pils”
In its June 29 Instagram post, CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch introduced Gotenba Kogen Beer’s “Pils” as the day’s opening beer. The post framed it as a familiar, easy-to-enjoy selection, making it a straightforward guest beer choice for regulars and first-time visitors alike.
A Tokyo Station-area beer pub with 30 drafts on tap
The shop sits on the 1st floor of TOKYO TORCH Terrace and serves 30 different draft craft beers from Japan and abroad, starting at 690 yen (tax included). It is about a three-minute walk from the Tokyo Station Nihombashi exit and also convenient from Otemachi and Nihombashi stations, which makes it an easy stop before or after work.
Gyoza and spice dishes to pair with the beer
The kitchen concept is “gyoza and spice dishes.” The menu features house-made gyoza alongside beer-friendly bites such as house-made zha cai with chili oil, shrimp crackers, and Mao-style fried chicken. You can sit at the counter in front of the beer server or relax on the terrace. A beer like Pils is a natural starting point for working through the day’s rotating draft lineup at a steady pace.
