Three New Taps at Bar FUKURO in Kamata: Flora Lager, Spiral, and Summer Breeze Now on Draft
Three new draft craft beers have been tapped at Bar FUKURO, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo. The lineup features labels from Flora Fermentation, Nara Brewing, and West Coast Brewing, offering a broad range of expressions from a classic lager to a Hazy IPA.
Hop BroBar FUKURO in Kamata has three new taps on now. There's Flora Fermentation's Flora Lager, Nara Brewing's Spiral, and West Coast Brewing's Summer Breeze, so it's a pretty wide-ranging lineup.
MugiWhoa, three at once!? And from different breweries too? That's basically a tasting showdown from the moment you walk in!
Hop BroExactly. Flora Lager is the easiest one to spot as the lead player. It has the richness of carefully selected malt and a bright hop aroma, and because it's clean and clear-tasting, it's the kind of beer you want as your first glass.
MugiHuh! But lagers only give me the impression of being light. Do they really have that much malt character and hop aroma?
Hop BroThey do. Lager is fermented at lower temperatures, which helps keep the beer clean and lets the malt profile show through clearly. Add hop aroma on top of that, and you get something refined that still has a distinct personality.
MugiSo the next one, Spiral, sounds twisty and complicated just from the name! It says melon and tropical fruit, but can beer really taste that fruity?
Hop BroIt can. Spiral combines ripe melon, citrus, and tropical notes with the spicy character from saison yeast. And because the finish is dry, it smells lively but drinks clean.
MugiWhat even is saison yeast!? It sounds like some kind of magic yeast, which is a little scary, but also makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroMore than magic, it's a yeast that tends to produce distinctive flavors during fermentation. And Summer Breeze is a DDH Hazy IPA, with citrus like grapefruit and lemon, plus stone-fruit sweetness and a grassy note.
MugiDDH is basically a spell! But if it has that much aroma depth and is still easy to drink, that's dangerously delicious... I feel like my glass would be empty before I knew it!
Hop BroAnd Bar FUKURO is easy to drop by in Kamata, so it's good for a post-work drink or for tasting beers side by side. On April 29 it's open from 16:00 to 23:00, and there are some closed days in May, so checking the schedule is important if you're going on purpose.
MugiAnd there's also a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover on May 22 and 23!? Even if I can't go today, the next time I'm definitely heading there with my throat completely empty!
Hop BroThat's right. Enjoy the three current kegs first, then get surprised again at the Takeover. That's more than enough reason to go out for tonight's drink.
A new set of tap beers has been added at Bar FUKURO, the beer pub in Kamata, Ota City, Tokyo. This time's lineup consists of three beers: Flora Fermentation's Flora Lager, Nara Brewing's Spiral, and West Coast Brewing's Summer Breeze. Each comes from a brewer with a distinct style, making it easy to choose one that fits the mood.
Flora Lager is a premium lager characterized by the rich flavor of carefully selected malt and a bright hop aroma. Its clean, crisp taste makes it the kind of beer you'd want to start with as your first pour. Spiral layers ripe melon, tropical fruit, and citrus notes with the spicy character and dry finish derived from saison yeast. Summer Breeze is a DDH Hazy IPA that combines grapefruit- and lemon-like citrus aromas with the sweetness and grassy character of stone fruit, offering both drinkability and a full, layered aroma.
Bar FUKURO is known as a beer pub where people can casually enjoy craft beer in Kamata, and each time the draft lineup changes, the atmosphere inside shifts a little as well. It's an easy place to stop in for a single drink after work or to visit with friends for a tasting comparison.
As for hours, the bar will be open on April 29 from 16:00 to 23:00. In May, it is scheduled to be closed on Mondays, plus the 7th and 12th, while Golden Week hours have been announced as 16:00 to 23:00 on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, and 12:00 to 21:00 on the 6th.
In addition, a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover!! is scheduled for May 22 and 23. With draft-only pours, there should be some fun in visiting to chase a tap lineup that's a little different from usual.
