Hop BroThis award-winning beer fair kicking off in Otemachi is not to be missed. CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch has lined up the winning labels from the WORLD BEER CUP 2026.
MugiWhat! You can compare beers in Otemachi? If I stop by after work, it feels like I might never make it home!
Hop BroWhat makes it strong is that they always have 30 draft beers on tap. This time it's built around five categories, so the structure is clear from Pilsner all the way to IPA.
MugiFive categories? What is that! I've heard of Pilsner and IPA, but White and Black suddenly sound like we're talking about colors, and now I'm confused!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. For example, Chuckanut's Pilsner is crisp and light, while Yamorido's Chirin Weizen w/ Kuromoji carries Japanese herbal aroma. In other words, the aroma and drinking character are clearly differentiated.
MugiWow! With Kuromoji in it it sounds like it might have the refined elegance of tea even though it's beer. I'm already too curious to try it!
Hop BroThe dark beers are hot too. Minoh Beer's stout and Karl Strauss's Golden Stout are on the list, and they even have FREMONT's EXTRA LUSH / Triple IPA. This place ranges from dark styles to bombshell-level beers.
MugiBombshell-level? What does that even mean! Triple IPA sounds strong enough to get me drunk just from the name alone. Is it really that intense?
Hop BroIt's the kind of beer with bold aroma and bitterness, and a lot of depth. Deschutes' FRESH SQUEEZED IPA and Firestone's UNION JACK are there too, so it's fun to do a bitterness comparison.
MugiNow I definitely want to go! Not just a drink in the Tokyo Station area, but the kind of place where you want to try several. Today, I want to bar-hop through the award-winning beers with my meal!
