Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke adds four new taps from Shiga, Hokkaido and Mie
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke announced four new taps in its June 2 post. The lineup spans a Japanese light lager, an American pale ale, a hazy IPA and a pils, with beers from breweries in Shiga, Hokkaido and Mie.
Hop BroAkasaka's basement is looking lively today, with four fresh taps covering everything from lager to IPA.
MugiWhat! Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke swapped in that many at once? That's a post-work emergency.
Hop BroFirst up is FLORA FERMENTATION from Shiga with Kitsune, a Japanese Light Lager that sounds super easy-drinking.
MugiThat name is adorable! Japanese Light Lager means crisp, crushable, and gone in five minutes, right?
Hop BroExactly, and Hokkaido's Oni Densetsu brings Mosaic Single Ver. of Kin-Oni Pale Ale, so the hop character stands out clearly.
MugiHold on, single hop suddenly sounds like chemistry class. Does that mean just one main hop?
Hop BroYep. Narrowing it down makes Mosaic's aroma easier to read, like citrus and tropical notes jumping right out.
MugiOooh! Then Ise Kadoya Beer from Mie with Sakekasu HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku is already overloaded with personality.
Hop BroAnd that's the fun part: it's a hazy IPA with sake lees, so you get soft haze plus a sake-like twist.
MugiAnd with Sapporo's Edelpils in the lineup too, you can bounce between easy sips and full-on aroma bombs.
Hop BroRight, this setup is all about drinking by mood. Start with Kitsune, detour through Oni Densetsu and Isekadoya, then finish clean.
MugiThat sounds perfect! I'm ready to get pulled into Akasaka-Mitsuke's basement and try all four in order.
Tap update for June 2
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, a beer pub in the basement of the Akasaka Gessekai building in Tokyo’s Akasaka 3-chome area, posted its tap list on June 2. The announcement highlighted four newly opened beers, giving the bar a lineup that moves from a light lager to hop-forward styles and a classic pils.
- `③` FLORA FERMENTATION, `Kitsune` / Japanese Light Lager (Shiga)
- `⑥` Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu, `Kinki Pale Ale Mosaic Single Ver.` / American Pale Ale (Hokkaido)
- `⑬` Ise Kadoya Beer, `Sakekasu HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku` (Mie)
- `①` Sapporo Beer, `Edelpils`
From Shiga, FLORA FERMENTATION brought in `Kitsune`, a Japanese light lager that should fit a session-friendly pace. Hokkaido’s Oni Densetsu entry is `Kinki Pale Ale Mosaic Single Ver.`, a single-hop variation that suggests a sharper look at Mosaic’s aroma. Ise Kadoya Beer’s `Sakekasu HAZY IPA ZAKU Shinryoku` stands out as the most distinctive beer on the list, with sake lees as part of the picture. Rounding things out, Sapporo Beer’s `Edelpils` adds a familiar, clean pilsner option.
As a beer pub in central Tokyo, the venue works well as a place to check what is on draft that day and move between styles without overthinking the order. For drinkers in the Akasaka-Mitsuke area, this kind of daily tap update is exactly the sort of post worth watching.
