Located at Kawasaki Azalea 1046, "KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer" is a beer pub run by the Tokaido BEER Kawasaki-juku brewery. In addition to the convenience of being just a 3-minute walk from Keikyu Kawasaki Station and the north exit of JR Kawasaki Station, its easy-to-stop-by underground location is part of its appeal.

The shop's strength is that it offers its house-brewed craft beer on 12 TAPs. It also has a 3-beer tasting set served in Kiriko glasses, as well as a 120-minute all-you-can-drink plan, making it easy to choose whether you want just one casual drink or a more deliberate comparison of flavors.

For this Friday, April 3 tap guide, the core lineup is the four standard Tokaido BEER offerings. The selection features clearly different flavor profiles: `1623`, which brings together citrus aroma and firm bitterness; the black beer `Black Relaxation`, with its complex herbal-derived aroma; `Pale Crimson Excuse`, where strawberry acidity and a subtle honey-like character overlap; and `Meeting of Wheat`, an easy-drinking white beer made with wheat.

Unusually for a beer stand, the brewery's world is carried directly into the shop interior. In the middle of Kawasaki, this is a place where the pleasure is not just having a random drink, but choosing "which one to have today." With its location close enough to stop by on the way home from work, it is an ideal spot for checking out the personality of Tokaido BEER.
