Bibibi., a beer pub in Daikanyama, will host Yasuhiro Chida, owner and brewer of Isana Brewing in Akishima, Tokyo, on Sunday, August 16, 2026, starting at 6:00 p.m. Several Isana Brewing beers are scheduled to be tapped, giving guests a chance to drink while hearing directly from the maker.
Hop BroDaikanyama is about to get interesting: beer pub Bibibi. is hosting a guest brewer event with Yasuhiro Chida of Isana Brewing on August 16 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.
MugiWait, Yasuhiro Chida is the guy coming? That name already sounds like a final boss!
Hop BroHe’s the owner-brewer of Isana Brewing, a microbrewery in Akishima, Tokyo. The event is even called the mysterious brewer from Akishima, so the setup is already great.
MugiWhat is an owner-brewer exactly? A person who runs the place, makes the beer, and somehow still sleeps?
Hop BroPretty much. He leads the brewery and handles the recipes and brewing. The beer names haven’t been announced yet, but they’ll have multiple beers on tap, and it’s a no-cover cash-on-order setup.
MugiNo way, that cream-soda-looking beer from the article is real? That sounds less like beer and more like a summer festival hallucination!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. Turning otoso into beer and getting creative with special adjunct ingredients is very Isana, but they also brew classic styles well.
MugiHold on, what are adjunct ingredients? You can’t just throw brewing textbook words at me like confetti!
Hop BroIt means ingredients beyond malt, hops, water, and yeast, like spices or herbs that add character. And Akishima is known for deep underground water, so hearing how the local water shapes the beer is part of the fun.
Hop BroIf you can hear about the brewer’s background and the struggles behind starting the brewery, the beer tastes better already. I’m honestly craving a glass of Isana now.
MugiSame here! At 6:00 p.m. on August 16, it’s meet me at Bibibi. Let’s investigate this mysterious brewer with a full glass in hand!
Event Details
Bibibi., the beer pub in Daikanyama, will hold a guest-brewer event from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 16, 2026. The guest is Yasuhiro Chida, owner and brewer of Isana Brewing, a microbrewery based in Akishima City, Tokyo. The event theme is "Getting to Know the True Face of Akishima's 'Mysterious Brewer' Chida." Admission is free, and drinks are ordered on a cash-on basis as usual.
What Beer Will Be Served
Multiple Isana Brewing beers are scheduled to be tapped on the day. The article highlights Chida's more unusual creations, including an emerald-green beer that looks like cream soda and a beer made from otoso, a traditional New Year drink. At the same time, Isana Brewing is said to produce many standard-style beers as well, so guests can expect a broad range of offerings.
Why Bibibi. Fits the Event
Bibibi. is a beer pub built around the idea that beer tastes better when you know the person behind it. That makes this kind of brewer visit especially fitting: guests can listen to Chida talk about his background, the challenges of starting a brewery, and the local conditions in Akishima that support the beer-making process. The brewery is about a three-minute walk from JR Akishima Station, and the city is known for its deep groundwater.
For drinkers who want more than a pint, this should be a strong night for both beer and story.
