Minna no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku-Kuramae, located in a residential neighborhood in Ishihara, Sumida Ward, is a compact beer pub with 24 seats. Situated between Ryogoku and Kuramae, it is known as a laid-back place centered around the counter, where you can take your time with craft beer and food that pairs well with it.

What is drawing attention this time is the no-time-limit all-you-can-drink VIP plan. For 4,990 yen, you can drink as much as you like not only from the dozens of canned and bottled beers and imported beers lined up in the refrigerator, but also from six domestic draft taps carefully selected by the owner. According to the shop’s guidance, the biggest appeal is that there is none of the time-pressure often associated with so-called "all-you-can-drink" plans, letting you try the beers that interest you one by one.

Looking at the lineup mentioned in posts and related information, the draft selection includes DD4D BREWING’s "Dance Commander," OKEI BREWERY’s "OKEI IPA," Beer Brain Brewery’s "WATERMELON MAN," and Gahaha Beer’s "Yoidore Kasumi." On the refrigerator side, beers such as "Corona Extra" and "Hoegaarde raspberry" are also visible, showing a wide range from IPAs to fruit beers and lagers. Being able to bounce between beers with such different personalities at one place is an easy-to-understand draw for beer lovers.

The food side also matches a stay-as-long-as-you-like plan. There are dishes that naturally make you want another round, such as salt-fried chicken made for beer, chicken and chips, pizza, and risotto. There is also a monitor for watching sports, making this a versatile spot for everything from small-group beer tastings to casual gatherings with friends.
