Hop BroBar FUKURO is just a five-minute walk from Kamata Station, and it is a pretty interesting place. It is a beer pub that rotates seven draft taps every week, so the lineup changes every time you visit.
MugiReally? A weekly rotation of 7 taps is like going to a different liquor store every time? That would make me excited to keep coming back!
Hop BroExactly. And the interior has only 17 seats, including four counter seats, so it's easy to come in for a solo drink. It's the perfect size for dropping by and drinking at an easy pace.
MugiWow! Small places feel relaxing, don't they? And if most of the dishes are one-person portions, it sounds like you could sample a bunch of things!
Hop BroThat is another strong point. The signature Cuban sandwich is made by grilling house-roasted pork with ham, cheese, and pickles, so it is clearly designed to be a beer companion.
MugiWhat! That sounds delicious! But how do you even make food that is meant for beer in the first place?
Hop BroFor example, you balance saltiness, fat, and acidity. When the savoriness of the roast pork and the richness of the cheese are joined by the acidity of the pickles, the beer's carbonation and bitterness cleanly sweep everything through.
MugiOhhh! You suddenly sound like an expert! So the Session Red IPA mentioned in the article is aimed at that kind of balance too, right?
Hop BroExactly. The Session Red IPA created in collaboration with Bar FUKURO keeps the aroma you'd expect from an IPA while still being easy to drink. The best part of a session beer is that it does not wear you out.
MugiI see! That sounds like something you could drink while lingering there for a while. And just the name Trip to KMT 2026 sounds fun and travel-like!
Hop BroThat's right. Along with AJB's Kölsch, the appeal of this place is how domestic and international styles blend with the atmosphere of Kamata. It works both for a quiet night out and as the first stop on a bar crawl.
MugiI can't take it anymore, my throat started going while I was reading! It feels like the top candidate in Kamata, and I want to have a drink with a Cuban sandwich too!
Hop BroIt's settled then. Next time you go to Kamata, let's look at the weekly rotating 7 taps and debate what to drink. In the end, with a place like this, even the time spent deciding is delicious.
Bar FUKURO is a beer pub located about a five-minute walk from JR Kamata Station. According to official information, the bar offers seven taps of domestic and international craft beer and emphasizes a style that rotates the lineup every week. The 17-seat interior, including four counter seats, is a comfortable size for dropping in alone or settling in with a small group.
One food item that stands out is the signature Cuban sandwich. It is made by layering house-roasted pork, ham, cheese, and pickles, then grilling everything together, and it is built with beer pairing in mind. Most dishes are sized for one person, so it is also a good spot for drinking with a few dishes centered around beer.
For craft beer fans, the brands connected to Bar FUKURO are also worth noting. Past coverage has confirmed AJB (Anglo Japanese Brewing)'s Kölsch, the Session Red IPA created in collaboration with Bar FUKURO, and West Coast Brewing's "Trip to KMT 2026," born out of the KAMATA drunkers scene. The appeal of this place lies in the natural crossing of Kamata's local atmosphere with beer styles from Japan and abroad.
