Torikago/Shirosuzume, a brewpub in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, is a spot where you can enjoy up to five kinds of craft beer, including its own house-brewed products. It offers a style of service that asks about your preferences and recommends beers accordingly, and it supports not only draft pours but also takeout in cans and bottles.
Hop BroToday I want to introduce Torikago/Shirosuzume, a brewpub in Takamatsu, Kagawa. It is a pretty intriguing place where you can drink up to five kinds of craft beer, including house-brewed ones.
MugiWhoa, up to five kinds? With that many, I'd probably get lost just choosing my first drink...
Hop BroAnd they ask about your preferences and mood before recommending something, so even beginners can get in easily. The location, in a former dispensing pharmacy along the sightseeing street, is interesting too.
MugiA former dispensing pharmacy? There's already a lot of information before the beer even starts! By the way, a brewpub is basically a brewery and a bar combined, right?
Hop BroThat's right. This place serves beer brewed on-site, and you can also take cans and bottles home, so it connects where you drink with where you buy.
MugiOhhh! And the only beer poured from the swing faucet is Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label? That suddenly makes it feel really well grounded!
Hop BroThat's what makes it good. It is not just about craft beer; there is also a solid standard pour, so it works both as an entry point and as a place to compare beers. The house brews are appealing because they span everything from darker styles to lighter, brisk ones.
MugiIf you say it spans a range, now I'm curious! For example, Chisoe #004 and Sparrow Lager #004 already sound like they have strong personalities from the names alone.
Hop BroChisoe #004 leans toward dark beer, while Sparrow Lager #004 is a brisk Helles. There is also Yukibori with apple, Hagi ni Usagi with fruity aroma, and Kurage no Hone with bitter chocolate and citrus notes, so you can choose based on your mood that day.
MugiWhat is that, I want to drink all of them just from the names and flavors! Today I'm fully ready to go hunt for a good drink at that moment.
Hop BroExactly. If you're looking for craft beer in Takamatsu, this place with its emphasis on care over flashiness is a very strong option.
MugiI can't help it anymore, my throat is already reacting just from reading this! First I want a drink, and if possible, I want to compare a few small pours!
Takamatsu Brewpub
Torikago/Shirosuzume in Taga-cho, Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, is a brewpub operating in a former dispensing pharmacy along a sightseeing street. In the attached beer room, you can enjoy small pours of up to five kinds of craft beer, including its own house-brewed products, and it also offers takeout of bottled and canned beers from Japan and abroad.
One of this shop's defining features is that while it is a specialty store for people who know a lot about beer, it also recommends beers while listening to the drinker's preferences and mood. The only beer poured from a swing faucet is Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label, and apart from the craft beers, it also offers a proper standard pour. It is an easy place to use both as an entry point into beer and as a place to compare different styles.
Its house-brewed lineup includes "Chisoe #004", a beer leaning toward dark beer; "Sparrow Lager #004", a brisk Helles; "Yukibori", a freestyle lager made with apple; "Hagi ni Usagi", characterized by fruity aroma and gentle bitterness; and "Kurage no Hone", which has notes of bitter chocolate and citrus. The range of aroma, bitterness, and body is distinct, making it easy to choose according to your mood that day.
The way to drink here is simple, but the offerings are quite broad. It feels natural to face a glass one by one at the counter, or to take cans and bottles home and enjoy them slowly there, and it is a place worth keeping in mind if you are looking for craft beer in Kagawa. Torikago/Shirosuzume seems best remembered as a brewpub that carefully serves "a good drink at that moment" rather than chasing flashiness.
