Shimbashi DRY-DOCK Announces That KAZE, Heisei Banana, and Others Are Running Low
Shimbashi DRY-DOCK, a beer pub in Shimbashi, announced tap list changes on Instagram. The post said that KAZE, Heisei Banana, Grim Reaper, and Kind of Gold are running low, and also mentioned a giveaway of past coasters tied to the 19th anniversary campaign.
Hop BroYou know how Shimbashi DRY-DOCK is a familiar sight under the elevated tracks in Shimbashi? It just posted an update on Instagram about the taps. This time, KAZE, Heisei Banana, Grim Reaper, and Kind of Gold are running low, so it's already exciting.
MugiWhoa! That name list alone is packed with info! Four beers running low means if we don't go now, we might miss them!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is great too. KAZE is a rice lager, so it's crisp and light, while Heisei Banana is a hefeweizen that brings a soft wheat aroma. What's fun is having beers of very different weights side by side.
MugiOhhh! But what is a hefeweizen, some kind of spell? When you say wheat aroma, is it like a bakery?
Hop BroYou're pretty much right. Hefeweizen is a German-style beer made with wheat, and it often gives off a banana-like aroma and a gentle sweetness. So it fits really well with the name Heisei Banana.
MugiWhat is that! A beer that hints at bananas is too good! The aroma contrast is wild, my brain is already getting confused!
Hop BroAnd speaking of confusion, Grim Reaper has a strong personality, while Kind of Gold has that stable Shiga Kogen Beer feel. The range for tastings is wide, so it's fun that each glass has its own character.
MugiWait, a single place has that much character? A lineup of distinct personalities sounds like a beer all-star team!
Hop BroAnd the place itself is interesting too. The first floor is standing room, the second floor has tables, and you can drink while taking in the buzz under the tracks. It's a place that really cares about pouring and managing beer, so every glass feels genuinely satisfying.
MugiAhhh, then I definitely want the chicken basket and potato salad too! A place with proper beer sidekicks is really trustworthy!
Hop BroOn top of that, there's even a giveaway of past coasters ahead of the 19th anniversary. Regulars and first-timers alike can enjoy it, and it makes you want to go before the taps change.
MugiIt's decided! I don't just want a drink in Shimbashi - I want to stay until closing! I want to go now and chase down all the ones that are running low!
The Shimbashi DRY-DOCK beer pub, located under the elevated tracks in Shimbashi, hinted at changes to its tap list in an Instagram post. The post said that four beers - KAZE, Heisei Banana, Grim Reaper, and Kind of Gold - are "running low," making this a timely update to check before they disappear.
The shop is a beer pub within walking distance of Shimbashi Station, with standing room on the first floor and table seating on the second. Its appeal lies in the lively atmosphere under the tracks, where you can watch beer being poured one after another over the counter. The official website also presents it as a place that is highly particular about how its beer is poured and managed.
The beers mentioned in this post are all distinctive additions to the lineup. KAZE is a rice lager from 3 Sons Brewing Co., Heisei Banana is a hefeweizen from HINO BREWING, Grim Reaper is a beer from B.M.B Brewery, and Kind of Gold is known as a label from Shiga Kogen Beer. From a crisp lager to aromatic wheat beers and stronger character-driven styles, the range makes for an appealing tasting comparison.
For food pairings, the shop's signature chicken basket and potato salad also sound like good matches. The post also mentioned a giveaway featuring historical coasters ahead of the 19th anniversary, making it a worthwhile update for both regulars and first-time visitors. As a place you can rely on from the first drink to the last in Shimbashi, it's worth keeping an eye on how the taps change.
