Bibibi. in Daikanyama to Host ISANA Brewing Brewer Visit on August 16
Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi. will host a brewer visit event on August 16, 2026, featuring ISANA Brewing owner-brewer Hiroyuki Senda. Several beers are scheduled to be tapped, and the event will be cash-on and free to enter. Guests can enjoy the beers while hearing directly from the maker.
Hop BroThere's a Daikanyama event worth watching. On August 16, Bibibi. is hosting an in-person brewer event with Isana Brewing owner-brewer Yasuhiro Senda.
MugiWait, the brewer himself will be there? So you can drink and hear the stories straight from the source?
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. with no entry fee, and it's cash-on style, so trying a few pours is easy.
MugiWhat is cash-on style? That sounds like a special move you unlock after three IPAs.
Hop BroNothing that dramatic. It just means you pay as you order. The beer list hasn't been announced yet, but they're planning multiple beers on tap that night.
MugiOhh! But multiple beers on tap means the kegs all line up and yell 'Release us!' right?
Hop BroPretty much. 'On tap' just means the kegs get connected and start pouring. Isana is a microbrewery in Akishima, founded in 2018, and they brew a very wide range of classic styles too.
MugiMicro sounds tiny, but the ideas sound huge. They've made an emerald-green beer like cream soda? What is even happening in that glass?
Hop BroThat's the fun of Isana. They've done curveballs like a beer with otoso, but they also handle standard styles really well. Senda's former engineering career gives the whole lineup a distinctive twist.
MugiIf you can listen to the maker while you drink, it becomes a night with a story, not just another pint. That makes the first sip feel special already.
Hop BroExactly. When flavor and the brewer's story arrive together, the background in the glass becomes part of the drink. On August 16, I'm pretty sure both of us would want that first pour immediately.
Event Overview
On Sunday, August 16, 2026, Bibibi., a beer pub in Daikanyama, will welcome Hiroyuki Senda, owner-brewer of ISANA Brewing from Akishima, Tokyo. The session runs from 18:00 to 19:30. There is no admission fee, and drinks will be ordered in the venue's regular cash-on style.
About ISANA Brewing
ISANA Brewing was founded in Akishima in 2018 as a microbrewery. The brewery is located a three-minute walk from JR Akishima Station, and the local water supply drawing from deep underground water in the Tanzawa river system is part of the story behind its beer. Senda also has an unusual background, having worked in semiconductors and aerospace-related engineering before entering brewing.
What Will Be on Tap
Several ISANA Brewing beers are scheduled to be tapped on the day. Specific labels have not been announced yet, but the brewery is known for playful creations such as an emerald-green beer reminiscent of cream soda and a beer brewed with otoso, a traditional New Year’s drink. At the same time, ISANA also makes a wide range of standard styles, so the event should offer a good overview of its breadth.
