Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa taps Minoh’s Kozaru IPA and four more Japanese beers on June 14
Beer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa updated its tap list on Sunday, June 14, featuring a new pour from Minoh, Kozaru IPA, plus four other Japanese beers. The bar also noted that some 9th-anniversary bottled beers, cans, and bottles were still available.
Hop BroBeer Bar Festa Shimokitazawa has five domestic taps today on June 14. The fresh opening is Minoh's "Kozaru IPA," so this Sunday lineup is pretty serious.
MugiWait, the name Kozaru IPA is way too cute. But the second I hear IPA, I feel like I need to pass a beer exam!
Hop BroCute name, serious beer. IPA is a style where hops steal the spotlight, so you get big aroma and a firm bitterness.
MugiOkay, but now this sounds like a casting audition. What even is IPA in normal-person language?
Hop BroIn simple terms, think of it as a paler ale with more aroma. And this tap list also has T.Y. Harbor's "Kanpai West Coast Pilsner" plus Delayla's ridiculously long-name beer, "Anonymous Brew Holic Revolution."
MugiWhat is that, a beer or a novel title? Too much information in one name! And what does West Coast Pilsner even taste like?
Hop BroBasically, it drinks like a crisp pilsner with snap and hop punch added on top. Also, Yokohama Beer's "Seya Wheat Beer" and Hansharo's "Coco Farm & Winery Shiro" are already running low.
MugiAlready? Then the low-stock pair goes to the front of the line. A wheat beer sounds gentle, and now I need to know what "Shiro" is too!
Hop BroAnd Festa Shimokitazawa has 12 taps plus bottles around 30 kinds, with 9th-anniversary bottles still hanging around. Add cans and bottles from Kyoto Brewing, ISEKADO, and REPUBREW, and you can lose ten minutes staring at the fridge.
MugiThen throw in darts, house-made sausages, and beef tendon simmered in beer? That's a tasting paradise. Opening at 6 p.m. with last order at midnight makes Sunday feel dangerously easy.
Hop BroExactly. You can compare pours, play darts, and still detour into the anniversary bottles. Start with Kozaru IPA, then lock down the low-stock beers: that's the winning route.
MugiSold. First stop tonight is Festa Shimokitazawa, and I'm chasing those five domestic taps. This article totally made me want a drink.

The domestic tap lineup for the day was:
- NEW: Kozaru IPA from Minoh
- Kanpai West Coast Pilsner from T.Y. Harbor
- Anonymous Brewholic Revolution from Deleirra
- Seya no Komugi Beer from Yokohama Beer
