Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashi-Nippori, Tokyo, has shared its tap list for October 22, 2026. The 12-beer lineup includes Nippori Kölsch, Arakawa HAZY beers, OKEI IPA, and several distinctive seasonal pours.
Hop BroHere’s news that makes me want a tasting trip to Nippori! Okei Brewery Nippori has unveiled twelve house-brewed taps.
MugiTwelve beers!? Is Nippori Kölsch meant for drinking on the train platform or what!?
Hop BroDefinitely not on the platform! It’s a light, easy-drinking Kölsch. I’d start with a Kölsch-and-Helles comparison to enjoy the gentle malt character.
MugiKölsch and Helles both sound pale and crisp—what’s the difference? I’m already lost in beer names!
Hop BroSimply put, Kölsch is snappier and lighter, while Helles has a rounder maltiness. Both are great first-pint choices.
MugiThen I want Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge! There’s even Super Arakawa HAZY—that name has serious power!
Hop BroHAZY beers are cloudy from yeast and hop compounds, with a soft mouthfeel. In other words, cloudiness can signal deliciousness.
MugiI’d normally call the staff over for a cloudy drink! But soft sounds lovely. I want to drink before crossing Arakawa!
Hop BroFor fruit-inspired choices, try Momonaka Natsusou or Hyuganatsu Splash; for aroma, Arabian Lime Ale. And don’t miss the smoky Smoked Helles.
MugiPeach, hyuganatsu citrus, lime, and smoke!? What is this, a beer costume party? There’s a traffic jam of flavors!
Hop BroChoose OKEI IPA for IPA, Don⭐Pota for a curveball, and keep an eye on 5 Yoi wa Matsuri and fallin. At this Higashi-Nippori brewpub, let’s explore the tap list.
MugiIt’s walkable from Nippori Station, so we have to go! We’ll check availability first, but our toast rehearsal is complete!
A 12-tap lineup from Higashi-Nippori
Okei Brewery Nippori is a brewpub located in Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa, Tokyo. Its October 22 tap list brings together a broad selection of house beers, ranging from clean and easy-drinking styles to hazy, smoked, fruit-forward, and citrus-inspired offerings.
The list opens with Nippori Kölsch and HELLES, two approachable options for starting a session. Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge and Super Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge add hazy beers connected to the local Arakawa identity, offering a softer, hop-driven direction.
The lineup also includes 5 Yoi wa Matsuri, fallin, 桃中夏爽, OKEI IPA, and Don⭐Pota. OKEI IPA is the straightforward choice for IPA fans, while 桃中夏爽 and Don⭐Pota offer more distinctive alternatives within the house range.
The final three taps are Hyuganatsu Splash, Smoked Helles, and Arabian Lime Ale. With Japanese citrus, smoke, and lime represented across the list, the selection encourages comparison between beers with very different aromatic profiles.

The brewpub combines a neighborhood atmosphere with a beer-focused drinking experience and is located at 5-37-4 Higashi-Nippori, Arakawa-ku, Tokyo.
