If you follow Kawasaki’s brewpub culture, you can’t ignore what Keya Brewery is doing. The brewery, based at 3-23-9 Minamikase, Saiwai Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, has beers that can also be enjoyed at the Kagiya Brewery location in Musashi-Kosugi.

In the original article, Kawasaki food influencer "Takupon" visited the Musashi-Kosugi store. While noting the approachable feel of the taps lined up inside and the welcoming atmosphere of the space, the piece featured his actual impressions after drinking the signature beer ORANGE CLASH. The main point of his comments was that it has "a drinking profile that isn’t too bitter and can appeal even to people who aren’t big beer drinkers," which aligns with the shop’s own idea of a "craft beer experience with a wide opening for everyone."

According to the article, ORANGE CLASH is characterized by orange-juice-like fruitiness and a smoothie-like texture. Rather than being the kind of beer that puts hop bitterness front and center, it is positioned as a glass that emphasizes aroma and fruit character. It is an easy choice for craft beer beginners as their first beer, and it also works well as a starting point for tasting comparisons.

The Musashi-Kosugi store also uses a self-tapping format, allowing customers to pour from multiple taps on their own. Because you can adjust the amount as you go, it works well both for people who want to slowly savor one beer and for those who want to compare several in small pours. Food-wise, fish and chips are also recommended, making it easy to experience the pairing with a fruit-forward beer firsthand.

The original article also noted that the store and ORANGE CLASH are scheduled to be featured in the March 10, 2026 broadcast of the TBS program "Matsuko’s Unknown World (The World of Kawasaki Meals)," within the context of Musashi-Kosugi’s ongoing evolution. For beer fans in the Kawasaki area, it is a topic worth checking out as it connects the local food scene with craft beer.
