Craft Beer Market Sendai Ekimae pairs rotating Japanese taps with house-made gyoza
Located just a short walk from JR Sendai Station, Craft Beer Market Sendai Ekimae offers a broad lineup of craft beers from across Japan and Tohoku. The pub is known for pairing those taps with house-made gyoza, while a related Toranomon event will feature a 22-tap Daisen G Beer takeover in September.
Hop BroA spot like this near Sendai Station is seriously strong. Craft Beer Market Sendai Ekimae is a beer pub where you can enjoy draft craft beer from across Japan and Tohoku with house-made gyoza.
MugiWait, a place like that right by the station? Three minutes on foot sounds dangerously convenient after work!
Hop BroThe concept is solid too. It is all about craft beer and gyoza, with fries, mapo tofu, and grilled chicken lined up to match the beer.
MugiWhat is this dream combo? House-made gyoza with beer sounds like my taste buds would throw a party.
Hop BroAnd the sister shop in Toranomon has a 22-tap takeover scheduled for September 4-5, 2026. It is a full-on deep dive into Daisen G Beer.
MugiHold on, tap takeover sounds intense. Are the taps being hijacked or what?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. Think of it as one brewery taking over the tap list, so you can compare the lineup and really understand that brewery’s character.
MugiOhh, got it! And Daisen G Beer has weizen to stout, right? That is a huge range from light and fluffy to dark and roasty.
Hop BroExactly. Weizen brings fruity notes, pilsner is crisp, pale ale leans hoppy, and stout has roasted depth, so the core lineup tasting alone would already be a lot of fun.
MugiI love that balance. Casual drinks at Sendai Ekimae, then serious tasting at the Toranomon event feels like more ways to enjoy beer. Now I want gyoza and a pint immediately!
Craft Beer Market Sendai Ekimae sits on the first floor of Daiwa Roynet Hotel Sendai Nishiguchi in Aoba-ku, Sendai.
