Antonbee Ryudocho Branch Opens 10 Draft Beers on April 19, Featuring Mikkeller NZ and Oni Densetsu
Antonbee Ryudocho, the sister location in Tokyo's Roppongi area, announced its Sunday service for April 19. With all 10 draft beers on tap, the lineup spans everything from pilsner to black IPA, cider, and hard tea.
Hop BroThe Roppongi sister shop, Antonbee Ryudocho, came in strong for Sunday service. Opening 10 draft beers means it's already the kind of place that makes you wonder what to pick from noon onward.
MugiWhoa! Ten kinds? From pilsner to hard tea? Isn't that a total genre traffic jam?
Hop BroExactly. And the lineup is strong. From Mysterious Path to Ushitora, Oni Densetsu, and Smog City, it's packed with serious intent.
MugiWait, what's a black IPA? It's black, but it's IPA? Coffee flavored?
Hop BroGood question. It's an IPA with roasted character, where toasty notes and hop bitterness coexist. What's interesting is that it has the feel of a dark beer, but still goes in hard with hops.
MugiOhhh, I get it! Then something with a name like Yozora no Simcoe sounds like it's all hops and must smell amazing!
Hop BroExactly. And since there's also Yuzucchi and pale ale styles, it's easy not to get tired of drinking. It's not just the heavy stuff; there are lighter pours too.
MugiWow, they even have Cherry Berliner Weisse!? Just the name makes it sound sour and sweet!
Hop BroRight. Dieu du Ciel!'s one has plenty of fruit character, and they even have hard tea like Black Tide's Tea Time. It's a perfect setup for drinking while eating in Roppongi.
MugiI'm already hungry! If they have this much going from early Sunday afternoon, it makes you want to raise a glass with the first pour!
At Antonbee Ryudocho, a sister shop in the same Roppongi area as the Tokyo beer pub "CRAFT BEER Antonbee Roppongi," 10 draft beers were served for Sunday business on April 19. Open from early afternoon until 10 p.m., the selection made it easy to choose according to mood, ranging from hop-forward IPA styles to fruit-based cider and easy-drinking pilsner.
The day's lineup included Mikkeller NZ's "Mysterious Path," Ushitora's "Yozora no Simcoe," "Totonoi mashita! Yuzucchi," "Mayotta ra Kono Pale!," Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale ADHA218," Smog City's "IPA," Mother Road's "Tips Up," Ace's "Joker Dry," Dieu du Ciel!'s "Solstice d'Ete Cerises," and Black Tide's "Tea Time." Black IPA, pale ale, Hazy IPA, cherry Berliner Weisse, and hard tea were all represented, making it look like a tap lineup that changes character with every pour.
The shop is located on the B1F of 5-1-5 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. True to the style of a beer pub where craft beer can be enjoyed slowly on draft, it is well suited to trying several kinds while eating. As a tap list for a Sunday from early daylight hours, it looked like an easy choice for everything from the first drink to the last in Roppongi.
