Beer Pub Kirigirisu Puts Five Beers on Tap in Takashimadaira, Featuring Ushitora and Ise Kadoya Beer
Beer Pub Kirigirisu in Takashimadaira, Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, shared its on-tap lineup for the day on Instagram. With selections from Ushitora Brewery, Ise Kadoya Beer, and Baeren Brewery, plus KIRIN's Heartland, the lineup stands out for its wide range.
Hop BroBeer Pub Kirigiris in Takashimadaira always has an interesting tap lineup. It's great to see Ushitora, Ise Kadoya Beer, Baeren, and even Heartland all on the same list.
MugiWhoa! Five beers on tap? So you can drink that many different styles in one place! It's so fun when beers with totally different directions are gathered together.
Hop BroThe star of the lineup has to be Ushitora Brewery's Ushitora Mandina. Even the name has energy, and when you have a main attraction like that, it really sets the tone for the whole place.
MugiWhat is that? Who's Mandina? It sounds amazing, but before even tasting it, it already feels kind of cosmic!
Hop BroAt times like that, it's good to slip in Ise Kadoya Beer's Nama Kaku Smoke Oyster Stout. Smoke means a smoked character, and oyster stout is a dark beer often made with oysters, so the aroma and richness become much deeper.
MugiWait, an oyster stout!? Just hearing that makes it sound like the sea and charcoal grill are hitting at the same time! That sounds like a beer with serious personality.
Hop BroAnd the fact that they also have Ise Kadoya Beer's ZAKU SAKEKASU HAZY IPA Shinryoku is what makes the lineup so sharp. Hazy IPAs are juicy, cloudy beers, and when sake lees are added, they bring a soft layer of umami and even a springlike feel.
MugiOhhh! A springlike beer just from the name alone makes the mood lighter. If I drank that after something rich, it would feel like taking a walk in my mouth!
Hop BroThen adding Baeren Brewery's Colonia and KIRIN's Heartland makes for a smart lineup. Putting a bold beer next to a familiar staple makes it easy to compare them in a lively rhythm.
MugiAnd the fact that it's in Takashimadaira and near the station where you can take it easy is great! If it opens at 6:00 p.m. and stays open until 11:00 p.m., I'd want to drop by after work.
Hop BroExactly. Kirigiris's appeal is that you can choose one beer at a time in a calm evening setting. Tonight they've got everything from rich beers to lighter ones, and finishing with Heartland sounds pretty perfect too.
MugiNow I really want to drink! My urge to compare beers won't stop, so I want to make Kirigiris my first stop in Takashimadaira too!
Beer Pub Kirigirisu, located in Takashimadaira, Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, announced its "ON TAP TODAY" lineup in an Instagram post.
The shop opens at 6:00 p.m. and closes at 11:00 p.m., with last order at 10:20 p.m. New guests are accepted until 10:00 p.m., making it a place to relax and enjoy a slow drink in the evening.

Five distinctive beers lined up on tap that day. They were Ushitora Brewery's "Ushitora Mandina," Ise Kadoya Beer's "Nama Kaku Smoke Oyster Stout" and "ZAKU SAKEKASU HAZY IPA Shinryoku," Baeren Brewery's "Colonia," and KIRIN's "Heartland."
What stands out is the contrast between a strongly expressive beer like the Smoke Oyster Stout or Hazy IPA and a familiar staple like Heartland appearing on the same day. The lineup works both for those who want to pursue bold character and for those who prefer to keep things light by alternating with a palate cleanser, making it the kind of menu that craft beer fans will want to compare side by side.
If you're looking for a place near the station in Takashimadaira where you can follow the taps and choose one beer at a time, Kirigiris is a beer pub worth putting on your list.
