Beer Pub Ishii Introduces Coronation Chicken and Four Rotating Draft Beers
At Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, an English-style Coronation Chicken and a tap list of four domestic craft beers on rotation were introduced. In the calm atmosphere of Yomise-dori, it's a place where you can choose your food and beer to suit your mood.
Hop BroThis Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi is a great place where you can choose both the food and the taps based on your mood. The calm atmosphere of Yomise-dori makes it perfect for popping in for a quick drink.
MugiWhoa! Just the atmosphere of Yomise-dori already makes it sound delicious! And a beer pub isn't just for drinking, huh.
Hop BroThe star this time is Coronation Chicken. It's an English dish adapted by the owner, and the mellow flavor has a tight, sharp spice kick to it.
MugiWhat is that! Coronation, like a crown and all that? But when you say it's great as a snack, that makes me really curious~.
Hop BroExactly. It's a dish that comes from the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. So it has a regal feel, but the taste is properly finished as a beer-friendly plate.
MugiHuh~! And since it's rotating casks, does that mean you can drink something different every time? A four-tap lineup already sounds fun just from choosing!
Hop BroThe lineup is solid too. Sankt Gallen's Golden Ale, Let's Beer Works' Aotearoa, Shiga Kogen Beer' s SHIGA KOGEN macaroni pils!?, and Hoppukotan Brewing's SOMEDAY - that's a pretty sharp set.
MugiI could get tipsy just from the names! But it really seems like there's fun in comparing the beers. If you can tell the difference between ales and pilsners, it would get even more interesting.
Hop BroThat's right. From a lively ale to IPA-style beers that show off the hops, and a pilsner where you can taste the richness of the malt, the lineup gives you a nice range of flavors.
MugiWhoa, if you put it like that I'm done for! My next drink has to be with the Coronation Chicken!
Hop BroNice. It's within walking distance of Sendagi Station and Nishi-Nippori Station, so stopping by after a Yanesen stroll would be perfect too. Today feels like a good day to take it easy with a drink.
MugiYeah, yeah! Now I want to order a rotating draft beer and Coronation Chicken right away!
Hop BroThen tonight is settled. A drink as part of everyday life - that's the kind of place you end up loving the longest.
A Food-and-Tap Pairing to Enjoy in Sendagi
Beer Pub Ishii, located on Yomise-dori in Sendagi, Bunkyo Ward, is a beer pub that opened in 2013. The first floor has a standing counter, and there are also seats on the second floor, making it a place known for being easy to stop by for just one drink or to relax over a meal.
The centerpiece of this post is the shop's popular food item, Coronation Chicken. It is a dish adapted by the owner from a British recipe associated with the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and its flavor is designed to pair easily with beer. The mellow sauce is backed by a clear hint of spice, making it a proper pub-style snack.
On the tap side, the appeal lies in the rotating lineup from domestic breweries. The selection introduced consisted of these four beers:
- Sankt Gallen "Golden Ale"
- Let's Beer Works "Aotearoa"
- Shiga Kogen Beer "SHIGA KOGEN macaroni pils!?"
- Hoppukotan Brewing "SOMEDAY"
Each beer has its own distinct personality, and the lineup offers the fun of tasting through everything from a brisk ale to IPA-style beers with expressive hop character, and a pilsner that brings out the umami of the malt. Because the taps change as each keg runs out, one of the biggest charms of this place is that even the same shop can offer a different combination every time you visit.
Beer Pub Ishii is not a place that only follows beer labels; its strength is that you can enjoy it with food pairing in mind as well. By matching a British-inspired dish like Coronation Chicken with domestic craft beers on rotation, the enjoyment of the pub naturally comes into focus. Rather than flashy appeal, it is the kind of place suited to times when you want to drink well as part of everyday life.
Its location within walking distance of Sendagi Station and Nishi-Nippori Station also makes it convenient, and it is easy to drop by alongside a stroll through Yanesen. For anyone who wants to quietly enjoy a classic drink and the day's food, this is a place worth remembering.
