Hop BroAt BEER OTAKU SPICE in Akihabara, they’ve got a pretty aggressive tap lineup this time. Lunch is from 11:30 to 14:00 LO, and evenings are from 17:00 to 23:00 LO. It’s basically a refuge for beer lovers.
MugiWait, so the beer pub’s spice dishes are also a main attraction? That alone makes me hungry, and I feel like I’d lose to the aroma the moment I walked in!
Hop BroThe highlights this time are Teenage Brewing’s "UNISON" and UCHU Brewing’s "Cosmic Vison". Both are served in 300 ml pours, and they really have presence.
MugiWhoa, TIPA and TDH Hazy DIPA sound like spells all of a sudden! Wait, what exactly is different about them? My beginner beer brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroTo put it simply, a TIPA is a triple IPA with stronger alcohol and body, while a TDH Hazy DIPA is a double IPA with haze and boosted hop character. In other words, UNISON is more full-bodied, and Cosmic Vison leans juicier.
MugiI see, so when they say even the light ones are 7%, that means even if the glasses look small, what’s inside is pretty serious! At 300 ml, if you’re not careful, you’re straight into tipsy territory!
Hop BroExactly. The nice thing about this place is the six-tap lineup full of beers with strong individuality. Since it’s a small, selective lineup, it clearly tells you what they want you to drink today.
MugiAnd it even pairs amazingly with biryani? That’s unfair! If the spice aroma and hop aroma overlap, the inside of your mouth basically becomes a festival site!
Hop BroThe shop is on the smaller side, so it’s also great for drinking alone. Whether you have one drink at the counter or pair beer with biryani at lunch, it fits neatly into a lot of use cases.
MugiAnd they’re planning to start their own brewing later this year too? If guest beers already feel like this, once house brewing starts I’ll have even more reasons to keep going back!
Hop BroYeah, if you want strong craft beer and spice dishes in Akihabara, this is a pretty compelling spot. I’m already torn between going full-bodied with UNISON or diving into the aroma with Cosmic Vison.
MugiTotally, this is the kind of place that makes you want to bar hop! Start with biryani, then UNISON and Cosmic Vison, and finish with one more beer... I’ve already finished placing the order in my head!
BEER OTAKU SPICE, located on the second floor in Akihabara, Taito, is a beer pub centered on craft beer and spice-driven dishes. In this post, it was introduced as a place where the lunch hours are 11:30 to 14:00 LO and the evening hours are 17:00 to 23:00 LO, with a lineup of distinctive beers pouring from six taps inside.
The beers that drew attention were Teenage Brewing’s "UNISON" and UCHU Brewing’s "Cosmic Vison". In the post, both were served in 300 ml pours. UNISON was introduced as a TIPA, while Cosmic Vison was presented as a TDH Hazy DIPA. The overall lineup was also described with the phrase "even the light ones are 7%," making it clear that this is a place where you can enjoy beers with substantial body.
What defines the shop is not only the beer, but also how well it pairs with food. The post said that once inside, the aroma of spices fills the space, creating an atmosphere that makes it easy to pair beer with biryani and spice dishes. The venue is a small space with limited seating, equipped with both counter and table seating, making it easy to visit alone. It works for everything from dropping in for just one drink to enjoying biryani at lunch.
The post also mentioned plans to start in-house brewing later this year, raising expectations for the shop’s own beers in addition to guest taps. For anyone around Akihabara looking to enjoy strong craft beer alongside spice dishes, this is a place worth keeping in mind.
