At Izuya Shoten in Nakanobu, Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, four craft beers from REPUBREW of Numazu, Shizuoka have arrived.

The four beers introduced this time are Minna no Citra, POWER HAZY, 96IPA WEST COAST IPA, and Numazu HAZY IPA. Their characteristics are also explained in-store: one with a clear citrus note derived from Citra hops, an energetic Hazy IPA made with American hops and NZ hops, a double IPA that strengthens the flagship 96IPA, and REPUBREW's standard Hazy IPA. The range of styles is clearly broad.

Izuya Shoten is a liquor store with a kakuchi-style setup where paid tastings are available inside the shop. Craft beer and sake from all over Japan line the long, narrow aisle, and the store is also equipped with beer taps. Tastings begin around 5 p.m., and the relatively small shop is said to fill up with about eight people. Since customers are also shopping, the store is set up on the assumption that everyone will share the space and enjoy it together.
