At Bakushu Shokudo 3F-22 in Nika-machi, Sendai, the bar is featuring Beer Herun’s Kurokoku Tripel as its today’s craft beer.

The beer is listed as a Tripel with 9.5% ABV. According to the post, it is a Belgian tripel brewed with pure brown sugar from Amami. The aroma brings out a roasted, snack-like sweetness reminiscent of karintou, followed by a honey-like, rounded malt sweetness. The finish is described as relatively light, so the alcohol strength does not dominate the drinking experience.

The shop says this is the kind of beer that makes you want to drink it alongside rich braised dishes. That fits Bakushu Shokudo 3F-22’s style well: the venue is known as a hidden-gem beer pub with creative dishes built around herbs and spices, making it a natural match for a fuller-bodied strong ale.

Bakushu Shokudo 3F-22 is located on the third floor of Yaokichi Building in Aoba Ward, Sendai. The space is set up as a relaxed beer pub with counter and table seating, and it is designed for people who want to take their time with beer and food. The post also notes its usual hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 11:30-14:00 and 17:00-24:00, with both dine-in and delivery/takeout service available.

For drinkers who enjoy tripels with a sweet, malt-driven profile, this brown-sugar version is an interesting guest pour to watch.
