Bar FUKURO in Kamata Is Well Stocked with Kamado Brewery Collaboration Kegs and Dark Beer Taps
At the beer pub Bar FUKURO in Kamata, a lineup of draft craft beers is on display, including the collaboration beer "Holy Smoke" with Kamado Brewery. From dark beers to hoppy pours, the selection is broad, and its station-close location makes it easy to stop in for a solo drink.
Hop BroBar FUKURO in Kamata is really heating up right now with a strong dark-beer tap lineup. It is about a 5-minute walk from JR Kamata Station, so it is also great for dropping by on a whim.
MugiWhoa! It is that lively and it is so close to the station? Easy for solo drinking is exactly the kind of thing beginners will love!
Hop BroThis time’s highlight is the collaboration with Kamado Brewery, Holy Smoke. They added smoked malt to a porter, layering chocolate malt richness and smoky aroma into one beer.
MugiSmoked malt in a porter? What is that! Chocolatey richness and smoke at the same time? My brain cannot keep up!
Hop BroBasically, it is like the toasty aroma of roasted grain gets topped with a smoky note. So you can enjoy roastiness and smoky aroma together, which is basically a dream setup for dark-beer fans.
MugiOh wow! So it is not just dark-colored, it actually has character. People who love deep roasty flavor are definitely going to get hooked!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is seriously good. Harvestmoon’s Schwarz, Isekadoya Beer’s Coffee Beans Pale Ale, Swan Lake’s Amber Ale, and even Yasato 2019 all show rich malt character.
MugiWhat is that, a dark-beer exhibition? But hop lovers are here too, right? It is awesome that they also have aromatic styles!
Hop BroThey do not leave that out either. With Y.Market’s Grefru Hoppin Shower and Mosaic Vibes, West Coast Brewing’s Starwatcher, Neko Nohiki, and Drunk Monk Tripel, you can see they are making a well-rounded selection.
MugiThe food sounds great too! A Cuban sandwich, jerk pork, and fish and chips? That is such a beer-forward lineup!
Hop BroExactly. The food is also easy to order because most dishes are single-serving size, so you can settle in and drink comfortably. Tonight at Bar FUKURO, I want to toast while deciding whether to start with Holy Smoke or go after the dark beers first.
MugiI have decided! I will start with the smoky one, and then go for the hop-forward beers too! I am in the mood to toast right now!
