CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Sansho Lager featured at Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya Parco
Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya Parco featured CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Sansho Lager as a guest beer. The lager won gold in the Herb & Spice Beer category at the 2026 World Beer Cup, and is described as a balanced beer that highlights sansho while staying easy to drink.
Hop BroI found a fun guest beer down in Shibuya Parco, Sansho Lager has landed. It’s pouring now at Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya Parco.
MugiWhat? Beer with sansho? That’s such a Japanese-food idea! And lager usually makes me think crisp and easy.
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it works. It’s brewed by CRAFTROCK BREWING, and it even won World Beer Cup gold.
MugiNo way! That title is doing a lot already! So Herb & Spice Beer means it basically jumped out of a spice rack?
Hop BroNot quite jumping out of the rack. The style is Lager with Sansho, built to show off the sansho aroma while keeping that clean lager drinkability.
MugiWhoa, okay! But I saw ABV 5.0% and IBU 20 and suddenly it felt like I was being quizzed.
Hop BroABV is alcohol strength, and IBU is a bitterness marker. So basically it’s a light, easygoing setup that won’t beat up your palate.
MugiGot it! So sansho doesn’t mean tongue-numbing fireball levels of spice? I was bracing myself!
Hop BroYou’re safe there. It’s less chili heat and more lifted sansho aromatics, so it works really well with Japanese food and as a meal beer too.
MugiThat sounds perfect for a standing bar! And Shibuya Parco B1F makes it super easy for a quick stop after shopping or work.
Hop BroAnd the best part is it’s not just a gimmick. The more you drink, the more it opens up, while lager-level drinkability stays intact.
MugiOkay, I’m done pretending to be chill, I want this now! Next time I’m in Shibuya, it’s straight to Beer Boy for a Sansho Lager.
Guest Beer
Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya Parco, a standing craft beer pub in the basement level of Shibuya Parco, introduced CRAFTROCK BREWING / Sansho Lager as a guest beer.
According to the post, Sansho Lager won gold in the Herb & Spice Beer category at the 2026 World Beer Cup. It is a Lager with Sansho, with ABV 5.0% and IBU 20. The brewery note says the beer is built to bring out the aroma and flavor of Japanese sansho pepper while keeping the character of a lager intact. That makes it suitable not only with Japanese food, but also as an easygoing beer for meals in general.
Because the venue is a standing bar in the heart of Shibuya, it suits quick stop-ins as well as casual after-work visits. A beer like Sansho Lager fits that setting well: it has a distinct aromatic profile, yet stays clean and approachable enough to pair with food or to sip on its own.
For drinkers looking for a guest beer with a clear point of view, this is an interesting pour to track down in Shibuya. The combination of award recognition, spice-driven aroma, and lager balance gives it a straightforward but memorable appeal.
