Four New Spring Beers Tapped at Craft Beer Market Otemachi
In a post on March 21, Craft Beer Market Otemachi announced four newly tapped beers timed for the cherry blossom viewing season. The lineup includes saison and gose styles that evoke cherry blossoms, with the venue highlighting the idea of enjoying a spring drink on the terrace.
Hop BroThe Craft Beer Market in Otemachi has tapped four new cherry blossom-themed beers. With a lineup timed for the cherry blossom viewing season, it's pretty hot as a spring topic.
MugiWait, four varieties at once? If there are that many, I'll be too busy deciding what to drink to even enjoy the cherry blossom viewing!
Hop BroThe stars this time are the Sakura Saison and the Gose. CYCAD BREWING's Hanami and Shonan Beer's SAKURA GOSE are bursting with spring vibes.
MugiWhat's a saison anyway? Is it just a spring-like beer? The name sounds cute, but I still can't quite picture the taste!
Hop BroA saison was originally a fragrant beer brewed during the off-season for farm work, and it tends to bring out fruity and spicy notes. It goes really well with the feeling of cherry blossoms.
MugiOhhh! Then what about gose? When I hear a sour beer, it almost makes me think of pickled plums!
Hop BroPretty close, but fresher. Gose is known for its saltiness and acidity, and it's the kind of beer that works well for drinking outdoors in spring. It's light to drink and gives the cherry blossom-viewing atmosphere a crisp edge.
MugiI get it! And the name Sakura Arashi ~Pink Tyhoon~ from Iwate Kura Beer feels like a full-on spring rampage, which I love!
Hop BroOn top of that, there's also a juicy IPA like Left Hand Brewing's Juicy Goodness, so the lineup has range, from sweet, aromatic profiles to solid hop character.
MugiAnd it's right by Otemachi Station, so a spring drink on the terrace after work sounds like a total win!
Hop BroExactly. It's great that the shop on the first floor of Tokyo Otemachi Financial City Grand Cube lets you get a head start on cherry blossom season. If you don't go early, the tap you're aiming for might be gone.
MugiThen we need to hurry! Put it on the list of tonight's drink options and go enjoy spring, even if it's not while looking at cherry blossoms!
In Craft Beer Market Otemachi's Instagram post (March 21 at 12:57), the shop announced new beers being tapped in line with the "Sakura Festival" trend. The post featured four labels chosen with a spring-like aroma and flavor profile in mind.
Newly Announced Taps
- CYCAD BREWING / Hanami (Sakura Saison)
- Shonan Beer / SAKURA GOSE
- Iwate Kura Beer / Sakura Arashi ~Pink Tyhoon~
- Left Hand Brewing / Juicy Goodness
The naming and styles tied to cherry blossoms stand out, and the selection ranges from tart gose and floral saison to a juicy IPA, making it well suited to springtime outdoor drinking. The post also mentions that "beer is just right for cherry blossom viewing" and that "it would probably be even better to drink on the terrace," reinforcing the appeal of enjoying a beer in the open air rather than only inside the shop.
The venue is a beer pub located on the first floor of Tokyo Otemachi Financial City Grand Cube. With direct access from Otemachi Station, it is easy to use from lunchtime on weekdays through the evening, and its concept centers on craft beer and Mexican food. It works well both as a first stop for beer and as a place to relax with food while continuing to drink at an unhurried pace.
In spring, tap rotations happen quickly, so if there is a label you are aiming for, an early visit is the safer choice. This post is an update that beer fans who want to fully enjoy the feel of a seasonal limited release should prioritize checking.
