KARAKURI in Kanda taps two Minoh beers: Momo Weizen (Hakuho) and Summer Lager
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda announced a guest tap update for Saturday, August 29, featuring Minoh Beer’s Momo Weizen (Hakuho) and Summer Lager.
Hop BroKARAKURI in Kanda has two Minoh Beer taps coming on Saturday, August 29 from 3 p.m. They'll be pouring 'Peach Weizen (Hakuto)' and 'Summer Lager.'
MugiWait, Peach Weizen (Hakuto)? Is that basically peach juice in beer form? The name alone sounds like summer vacation.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a weizen built on wheat malt, then layered with big peachy fruit character from Hakuto peaches.
MugiA weizen? What is that, exactly? A wheat beer? I didn’t realize there’d be a quiz today.
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It’s a style that tends to feel soft and expressive, so when peach notes land on top, it comes across as light and floral.
MugiOoh, nice. Then Summer Lager sounds like the opposite? An easy-drinking pour that you can just crush in hot weather?
Hop BroExactly. Summer Lager keeps that crisp lager snap, then adds grapefruit-and-orange aroma from American hops plus some tropical lift from dry hopping.
MugiDry hopping? So you just toss in some dry hops and call it science? That sounds way too casual for how good it probably tastes.
Hop BroThe name undersells it. You add hops after fermentation to boost aroma more than bitterness, which is why you get that tropical finish so cleanly.
MugiThat sounds excellent. And KARAKURI does oden too, right? Oden with guest taps feels like a dangerously good plan.
Hop BroAnd it’s not just for drinking there. They also do takeout bottles and cans, draft by volume, and growler fills, so the beer can follow you home.
MugiLast Saturday of August, plan settled. Two beers in Kanda sounds right, and now I already want both of them with snacks and a refill.
Guest taps on August 29
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake-, located in the basement level in Kanda Kajicho, will open from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 29. Food last order is 9:00 p.m. (some fried items by 8:30 p.m.), and drink last order is 9:30 p.m.
The post highlights two guest beers from Minoh Beer: Momo Weizen (Hakuho) and Summer Lager. The Momo Weizen is introduced as the second release in the bar’s annual peach Weizen series, while the Summer Lager is described as using American hops for a bright profile with grapefruit, orange, and a tropical note from dry hopping.
KARAKURI is a beer pub focused on craft beer, sake, and natural wine, with oden-centered food. That makes this lineup easy to picture alongside food: one beer built around fruit aroma, and one crisp lager-style option that should sit comfortably with a meal. The shop also offers bottles and cans to go, draft beer by volume, and growler fills, so guests can continue the session at home if they want.
For anyone looking for a guest tap stop in Kanda at the end of August, this is a straightforward update to watch.
