Okei Brewery Nippori opens Haisupa 3.5-go and updates its 12-tap lineup
Okei Brewery Nippori in Arakawa, Tokyo, announced a new opening on July 22: Haisupa 3.5-go. The coconut-tinged, bitter beer joins a 12-tap lineup spanning house beers and guest pours from three Japanese breweries.
Hop BroNippori has a fun one today: Hi-Spa No. 3.5 is on at Okei Brewery Nippori. They refreshed all 12 taps on July 22, so the whole lineup feels summer-ready.
MugiWait, 12 taps refreshed? That is a lot of shiny beer handles. This place sounds like a tiny festival.
Hop BroExactly, and the new pour leads with a soft coconut aroma, then finishes with a crisp bitterness. They even recommend pairing it with vanilla ice cream, which is a slick move.
MugiWhoa! But that crisp bitter finish sounds like my taste buds are arguing. Is this a tropical dessert or a serious beer face?
Hop BroThat tension is the point. The coconut handles aroma, not sugary heaviness, and the bitterness cleans up the finish. Think of it as aroma with snap.
MugiWhat is that! And about HAZY, names like Arakawa HAZY Under Bridge sound less like beer and more like a side quest.
Hop BroHAZY basically means a cloudy, juicy-feeling IPA family, nice and approachable. This update runs from HELLES, Nippori Kolsch, and Steam Ale to HAZY and sour styles, so the range is wide.
MugiOkay, now the jargon suddenly feels friendly. And the guest side has UshiTora Brewery plus NORTH ISLAND BEER and BLACK TIDE BREWING? That is stacked.
Hop BroRight, their house beers stay center stage, but the outside breweries add contrast. That makes the tasting comparison way more fun, especially with food.
MugiAnd since it is a brewpub, you can slow down and eat properly too. That vanilla ice cream pairing already has me sold.
Hop BroOne practical note: there is no bike parking, and if you come by bicycle they cannot serve alcohol. So check your route first before heading over.
MugiRoger that. Train in, start with a Helles, then finish with Hi-Spa No. 3.5. I want a glass now!
A summer update in Nippori
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa Ward, updated its tap list on July 22. The headline addition is Haisupa 3.5-go, described by the brewery as a beer with a soft coconut character and a clean bitterness, recommended alongside vanilla ice cream.
The core lineup leans heavily on the venue's own beers. Names such as `HELLES`, `OKEI IPA`, `Nippori Kölsch`, `Steam Ale`, `Arakawa Hazy Under Bridge`, and `Super Arakawa Hazy Under the Bridge` suggest a range from crisp, easy-drinking styles to hazy, hop-forward options. `Hinata-Natsu Splash` and `Megante` add a more playful touch to the board.
Guest beers also appear on the list. `Passion Yawara` comes from UshiTora Brewery, `Sour Ale` from NORTH ISLAND BEER, and `Monster Gold ver 6.0` from BLACK TIDE BREWING. That mix gives drinkers a straightforward comparison between the brewpub's house pours and beers from established Japanese craft breweries.
For beer fans, the appeal is not only the new release but also the balance of the whole board: lighter lager-like options, refreshing ale styles, hazy beers, and a sour. Since the venue also serves food, it works well as a place to settle in for a meal and a few rounds rather than a quick stop.
The post also notes that there is no bicycle parking available and that alcohol cannot be served to guests arriving by bicycle. If you're planning a visit in Nippori, it's worth checking access before heading out.
