At Koenji's "Craft Beer Sakaba Citrava," two new draft beers have been connected: Fuji Zakura Heights Beer Weizen and Shiga Kogen Beer KASUMI. The bar, where the draft selection changes daily, has added an aromatic white-style beer and a juicy hoppy beer to its lineup.

MugiWait, Weizen is that banana-like aroma one? And KASUMI sounds all soft and hazy just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. Weizen uses a high proportion of wheat, and because the yeast produces plenty of esters, it gives off a fruity aroma. Drinking it on draft at Citrava really brings out its softness.
MugiEsters? Suddenly it's chemistry class! I only care about how it goes down, so please keep the hard words to a minimum!
Hop BroThen in simple terms, it's the kind of beer where sweet aromas rise up gently. KASUMI keeps bitterness very low and puts juicy hop character front and center.
MugiSo it's basically fruit juice? A beer where the hops take the lead feels like a live show starting in your mouth!
Hop BroAnd Citrava is a beer pub in Koenji-kita that sometimes opens from midday. Pair it with the Japanese-style grated daikon hamburger steak set meal, and your stomach will applaud first.
MugiWait, not just beer, but a set meal too!? And if day drinking is okay, I can pretend it's lunch and drink seriously at the same time.
Hop BroWeekdays start at 4:00 p.m., Saturdays at 12:00 p.m., and Sundays and holidays are lunch hours too, so it's easy to plan around. Plus, there seems to be a collaboration beer unveiling event on Saturday, May 30.
MugiThat's basically all the reason I need to go! I'll take the Weizen, my brother can have the KASUMI, and let's decide on our first drink of the day!
New Taps
At Koenji's "Craft Beer Sakaba Citrava," two new craft beers have been put on draft. In a post from right after opening, the shop introduces today's lineup from inside the store.
Added Beers
- Fuji Zakura Heights Beer Weizen
Introduced as a beer that "changes the image of beer," this glass is known for its fruity aroma and flavor. Its soft, Weizen-like drinkability seems like something to enjoy at a relaxed pace.
- Shiga Kogen Beer KASUMI
It is described as a beer that keeps bitterness very low while still letting you clearly enjoy juiciness and hop aroma. True to its name, it stands out as a hazy, hop-forward beer that goes down easily.
Citrava is a beer pub in Koenji-kita, Suginami Ward, Tokyo. Centered on craft beer, the shop also offers lemon sours and food menu items, and on some days it opens from lunchtime, making it easy to have your first drink early in the day. The post also highlights the daily special, Japanese-style grated daikon hamburger steak set meal, making it a place where you can enjoy beer and food side by side.
According to the opening hours notice, it opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays, 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and also serves lunch on Sundays and holidays. Except for the last day of consecutive holidays over the weekend, you can spend time there at a relaxed pace into the evening. In addition, on Saturday, May 30, a collaboration beer launch event for "Beer Girls x Hansharo Beer" is also scheduled, so attention is likely to continue to focus on the rotating taps.
