Oraho Beer and Johana Beer Newly Tapped at Craft Beer Market Otemachi
A post on Craft Beer Market Otemachi's Instagram announced the newly tapped Oraho Beer "Captain Crow Extra Pale Ale" and Johana Beer "Great Blue." "Future Beer Garden 2026" is also being held in front of the store, and a 10th-anniversary campaign is still to come.
Hop BroSo, in Otemachi, Craft Beer Market Otemachi has brought out two new taps. Oraho Beer's "Captain Crow Extra Pale Ale" and Johana Beer's "Great Blue" is such an aggressively tempting lineup.
MugiHuh! Otemachi is an office district, right? A new beer lineup there sounds like it suddenly turned into an adult amusement park!
Hop BroExactly. And on the Naka-dori in front of the shop, they're also running Future Beer Garden 2026, plus there's even a photo project where you can climb into a DeLorean. It feels like a little time machine has mixed into the after-work scenery.
MugiWhat is that! A DeLorean, as in the movie car, right? So going there to drink beer means getting taken into the future?!
Hop BroDon't worry, only your mood gets taken there. One of the highlights is Oraho Beer's Captain Crow, a pale ale at ABV 5% and IBU 57. It has a sharp hop aroma and bitterness, with the kind of strength you'd expect from a flagship beer.
MugiIBU again! That's the bitterness number, right? The higher the number, the more your face scrunches up?
Hop BroYou've got it. Simply put, IBU is a measure of bitterness. At 57, you get a solid hop character, but it's not the kind that wears you out; with food, it actually brings the edges into focus.
MugiOhhh! So Johana Beer's "Great Blue" sounds like the opposite? Just from the name it feels like a beautiful summer beer!
Hop BroGood catch. Great Blue is a fruit ale with ABV 4.5% and IBU 20. It's characterized by a refreshing lemon note and a vivid blue color, making it a light, summery drink.
MugiBlue and lemon? That's a lot of information for both the look and the taste! And Otemachi has 30 draft beers on tap all the time, right? Too many choices, my brain is happily screaming!
Hop BroExactly, and it's on the first floor of Otemachi Financial City Grand Cube, so it pairs easily with Mexican food too. The time spent looking for a draft beer that goes perfectly with tacos and burritos is practically its own entertainment.
MugiI've decided! I'll get hit by the hops with Captain Crow, cool down with Great Blue, and finish with tacos! I'll take the comparison-tasting course!
Hop BroThat's the best flow. If you can enjoy a playful drink in the middle of Otemachi, then tonight you've basically got to stop by. Honestly, I want to head straight to the taps and raise a glass right now.
MugiYeah, this is the kind of thing that makes your throat react just from reading it! Tonight's drink candidate is definitely decided here!
Craft Beer Market Otemachi used its official Instagram to introduce "Future Beer Garden 2026," now taking place on the Naka-dori in front of the store, while also announcing today's new taps. The post also mentioned a photo-op where visitors can climb into a DeLorean, creating a slightly playful scene in Otemachi's office district.
New Taps
- Captain Crow Extra Pale Ale / Oraho Beer (OH!LA!HO BEER)
- Pale ale, ABV 5%, IBU 57. A flagship beer also featured on the official website, with a clearly defined hop aroma and bitterness.
- Great Blue / Johana Beer (JOHANA BEER)
- Fruit ale, ABV 4.5%, IBU 20. A summer-friendly beer characterized by a refreshing lemon note and vivid blue color.
The Otemachi location is a beer pub on the first floor of Otemachi Financial City Grand Cube, emphasizing the pairing of Mexican food with craft beer. Inside, the layout makes it easy to view the draft beer servers from the counter, and there is also terrace seating, making it a convenient spot for everything from an after-work pint to a light meal. The shop's policy is to keep 30 draft beers on tap at all times, and the post also noted that "there are plenty more delicious and fun beers connected here too."
Amid the cityscape of Otemachi, the appeal of this place is being able to enjoy limited beers alongside tacos and burritos. These two beers each go in a different flavor direction, making them ideal for a side-by-side tasting. If you want to enjoy a strong hop presence, Captain Crow is the easy choice; if you want something light and colorful, Great Blue fits the bill.
