Keisei Koiwa Craft Sakeden reports 11 runners and six taps
The Keisei Koiwa beer pub posted about its night run club on June 19. Eleven people ran roughly 4.5 km, then gathered back at the shop for a toast. The post also listed the beers currently on tap.
Hop BroCraft Saketen in Keisei Koiwa had 11 runners together last night, did about 4.5 km, then came back to the pub for a toast. That flow is just perfect.
MugiWhat! Run first, drink later!? That is way too powerful as a reward system. The first sip basically deserves applause.
Hop BroAnd on the June 19 post, they showed six beers on tap: SORACHI1981, KAMIKATZ Pale Ale, Kyara, TAJI, Sweet Strawberry, and Kagura. That's a seriously strong lineup.
MugiHold on, what does draft mean here? “Taru-nama” sounds like a password only regulars are allowed to know!
Hop BroIt means beer served from a keg through a tap system. So you get that fresh-poured feel in the glass. The aroma pops more, and the shop’s character shows through too.
MugiOhhh, so it’s a great tasting flight situation. If they’ve got hoppy standards, pale ale, and fruit beer, even choosing sounds fun.
Hop BroExactly. KAMIKATZ Pale Ale is classic pale ale territory, easy to read and hop-friendly, while Oni Densetsu’s Sweet Strawberry sounds bright and fruity. Then TAJI and Kagura bring more personality.
MugiWait, when you say taste the hops, do you mean bitterness? Aroma? Why does my tongue suddenly feel like it’s taking an exam?
Hop BroHere’s the thing: hops don’t just add bitterness, they shape aroma too. Citrus notes, grassy notes, that whole aroma character profile comes from hops in a big way.
MugiThat makes sense! A tucked-away spot in Keisei Koiwa doing liquor shop and standing bar vibes while gathering runners too? That’s such a good little hideout.
Hop BroAnd there’s more: another run is planned for July, and on June 21 the Koiyoi street event will have the Tunisia World Cup match on screen plus biryani. Just reading that makes me want to order the first pint.
MugiI’m done for, I totally want to toast after a run now. Starting with SORACHI1981 or rewarding myself with Sweet Strawberry? I want to go to Keisei Koiwa and struggle with that choice in person!
Keisei Koiwa Craft Sakeden sits down a back alley and works as both a bottle shop and a standing beer bar, which makes it an easy place to connect running and drinking. In its June 19 post, the shop said the previous night’s "Keisei Koiwa Night Run Club" drew a large group of 11 runners. After about 4.5 km along the riverside at night, everyone returned to the bar and raised a glass together.
The tap lineup listed in the post was varied:
- SORACHI1981 (Sapporo)
- KAMIKATZ Pale Ale (RISE & WIN Brewing Co.)
- Kyara (COEDO)
- TAJI (Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing)
- Sweet Strawberry (Onidensetsu)
- Kagura (Matsuri Brewing)
It is a lineup with range, from hop-forward classics to pale ale and fruit beer, so the bar clearly had something for different tastes on the night. The setting also matters: this is a tucked-away craft beer spot in Keisei Koiwa, where people can stop in for a quiet pint on an ordinary night, but the room can also turn lively when an event is underway.
The post also said the next night run club is planned for July, and that the shop will join the neighborhood event "Koiyoi" on June 21. The plan includes broadcasting the World Cup Tunisia match on both floors and serving a special biryani menu, reinforcing the shop’s role as a local hub for both running and beer.
