Craft Beer Market Otemachi taps Tsugaru Jozo's 'Arigatou! IPA' and three more guest beers
Craft Beer Market Otemachi is pouring Tsugaru Jozo's 'Arigatou! IPA' alongside Fujizakura Yuzu Weizen, Yamaguchi Beer Pale Ale, and Yamaguchi Beer IPA. The station-connected spot in central Tokyo is leaning into a lineup that ranges from a classic, bitter IPA to easier-drinking guest pours.
Hop BroBig Otemachi news today: Craft Beer Market Otemachi just rolled out a four-beer lineup.
MugiWhat! In an office district and it's direct-from-the-station temptation? Even rain loses this round!
Hop BroThe star is Tsugaru Jozo's Arigato! IPA, built with a higher-IBU profile for people who like a classic IPA edge.
MugiHold on, what is IBU supposed to mean? Craft beer just turned into chemistry class!
Hop BroIBU is a rough measure of bitterness, so higher usually means sharper bitterness. Think of it as a bitterness ruler.
MugiOhh, so Arigato! IPA is not all fruity perfume, it is a crisp-first IPA!
Hop BroExactly. Then you slot in Fujizakura's yuzu weizen and get a citrus reset button between bitter sips.
MugiWhat is that lineup! Bitter first, then yuzu-powered recovery? This pairing has a game plan!
Hop BroAnd Yamaguchi Ji Beer brings a pale ale plus another IPA, so the whole set drinks like an easygoing progression.
MugiSo I land softly on the pale ale, then loop back to IPA? I am getting dangerous repeat-order energy here.
Hop BroThe place works for lunch or dinner, and there is even a July 4, 12:00 SIBEERIA BREWERY 15TAP Takeover notice on top of this.
MugiIf after-work Otemachi comes with that lineup, then we absolutely need a round tonight!
Craft Beer Market Otemachi, located on the 1st floor of Otemachi Financial City GranCube in Chiyoda, Tokyo, updated its guest-beer lineup in a recent Instagram post. The bar said it had brought in both lager and IPA options and would be connecting the kegs one by one.
The headline beer is Tsugaru Jozo's "Arigatou! IPA". In the post, it is introduced as a beer for fans of classic IPA character: sharply bitter, clean, and firmly defined. Rather than chasing soft fruitiness, it is presented as a straightforward, hop-forward pour with a crisp finish.
The lineup also includes:
- Fujizakura Yuzu Weizen
- Yamaguchi Beer Pale Ale
- Yamaguchi Beer IPA
Together, the guest beers are described as a set that is generally easy to drink at a relaxed pace. That makes the bar a good stop for IPA drinkers who want bitterness first, as well as for those who prefer a softer wheat beer or a balanced pale ale.
Because the venue is directly connected to the station, it is easy to stop by even in bad weather. With lunch and dinner service, plus party menus for groups, it works as both a casual after-work beer stop and a place for larger gatherings. The post also previews SIBEERIA BREWERY 15TAP Takeover on Saturday, July 4 at 12:00, giving regulars another date to watch.
