Bar FUKURO Opens Four New Taps: Flora, DD4D, WCB, and Kamado x Daisen G
The beer pub Bar FUKURO in Kamata, Tokyo, introduced four new taps. The lineup brings together the character of Flora Fermentation, DD4D Brewing, West Coast Brewing, and Kamado x Daisen G Beer, offering a wide range from a light lager to a high-ABV special collaboration.
Hop BroAt Bar FUKURO in Kamata, four new taps opened all at once. And the lineup is seriously bold, ranging from a light lager to a rich double IPA and even a commemorative collaboration.
MugiWhat, all four at once!? With that many choices, I almost don't know where to start drinking!
Hop BroStart with Flora Fermentation's Kitsune. It's a Japanese Light Lager at 4.0% ABV, crisp and made with Omi rice, so it's perfect as your first pint.
MugiOhhh, can you really tell the rice nuance in beer? It sounds kind of like drinking rice... weirdly, now I'm curious!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The rice lifts the malt sweetness and gives the beer a sharper finish. In other words, it's the kind of beer that goes well with food and doesn't tire you out.
MugiThen next is DD4D Brewing's Lucky Charm! Just hearing "double IPA" already sounds strong, but the 7th anniversary part makes it feel even more special!
Hop BroExactly. Tropical, citrus, and dank notes are pushed right to the front, really showing off the hop character. And because it has a light mouthfeel, it doesn't rely on brute force even at 8.0%.
MugiWhat even is dank!? That word suddenly sounds like a barnyard smell or something, is that okay!?
Hop BroIt's okay. Here it means a dense, damp, resinous hop aroma. And West Coast Brewing's The Lupulin Tree was dry-hopped with fresh 2026 hops, so the aroma layers are really thick.
MugiWow, just hearing about layers of aroma makes it sound delicious! Mango, pineapple... it's basically a fruit festival.
Hop BroExactly, and then lychee, melon, and peach-like notes stack on top of that, so it's fun to explore slowly. For the finish, I'd go with Kamado x Daisen G Beer's Weizen Master, the 10.0% super version.
MugiIf you add clove and banana aromas plus that smooth mouthfeel, it's basically cheating...! I want to chase all four beers at Bar FUKURO, and now I really want to go out for drinks today!
Four New Taps Arrive at Bar FUKURO
At Bar FUKURO, the beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, four new kegs have been introduced. This time, the lineup spans a broad range, from an easy-drinking lager to a double IPA with plenty of hop depth, and even special anniversary and collaboration brews.
