BRONX on May 29: 11:30-23:00

CraftBeer Bar BRONX, a hidden beer pub tucked away up the stairs on the back side of the building, a 3-minute walk from Higashi-Urawa Station. On Friday, May 29, it was open from 11:30 to 23:00 straight through, making it a day to enjoy beer slowly from afternoon into night. The post also mentioned that June's operating schedule had been decided, that private bookings were increasing in the first half of the month, and that weekends tend to fill up with reservations. It also noted that the 8th-anniversary coupon can be used through this day.

Today's tap list

The craft beer selection for the day featured three beers with distinct personalities.

- GREAT BLUE (Johana Beer)
- Over Drive IPA (Y.MARKET BREWING)
- Wheat Ale (T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY)

"GREAT BLUE" is the kind of beer you want to savor slowly for its aroma, "Over Drive IPA" is for people who want a strong hop presence, and "Wheat Ale" stands out for its soft mouthfeel. With three beers heading in different directions, comparing the flavors is part of what makes the lineup interesting.

The regular draught lineup was broad as well. In addition to Asahi Super Dry Kuroda Pour, Asahi Super Dry Super Cold, Asahi Super Dry Extra Cold, Asahi Draft Beer "Maruef", and Asahi Draft Beer "Kuro Nama", they also had Orion The Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, and Pilsner Urquell. A strength that feels very BRONX-like is that you can move across both craft beer and classic draughts from Japan and abroad.

A convenient spot in Higashi-Urawa

BRONX is also a beer restaurant serving Okinawan dishes and other food that pairs well with beer. The 32-seat interior includes counter seating, making it easy to use for anything from a solo quick drink to a meal with several people. The entrance is a little hard to find, but that also adds to its "if you know, you know" atmosphere.

That day was more about calmly sharing an operating milestone and the tap list than making a flashy new announcement, but for beer lovers it was still a lineup worth paying attention to. If you're drinking draught beer in Higashi-Urawa, this is a day to keep in mind.
