Taru Taru, a compact beer pub in Takamatsu’s Kawaramachi area, is currently pouring 061 Fuk Yuunagi from Kufuku Brewing Motoshima.

The beer is a Best Bitter with 4.5% ABV and 29 IBU. Its appeal lies in a gentle malt sweetness and a crisp finish, with enough balance to show more character as it warms slightly. It is the kind of beer that favors drinkability over flash, making it easy to settle into.

Taru Taru sits near Kawaramachi Station and opens from 3:00 p.m., which makes it useful for an early pint or a drink before meeting up. The bar has 11 seats and runs five taps, four of which are from Kagawa Prefecture, while one features craft beer from outside the prefecture. That local-first tap makeup is a defining part of the shop’s character.

Food is also part of the draw, and the owner can suggest pairings to match the beer. Can and bottle takeout is available as well, so guests can bring home a favorite pour after drinking it on site. For anyone following Kagawa’s craft beer scene, Taru Taru is a bar where a beer like 061 Fuk Yuunagi feels especially at home.
