A beer pub in the basement, right by Kyodo Station

Magic Hour Kyodo Branch is a beer pub located at Central Kyodo B1, 1-19-7 Kyodo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. In this post, the 1st anniversary collaboration beer "Magic Hour" with Okinawa's FILL BREWING was featured.

What kind of beer can you drink?

The introduced "Magic Hour" is a collaboration beer made with juniper berries and coriander. It has a refreshing tartness, was brewed for the fourth time, and comes in at 8.4% ABV. It is described as having a clean, easy-drinking profile that still leaves an impression, making it an approachable glass even for craft beer beginners.

The atmosphere of the shop

From the post, it comes across as the kind of place where you spend time quietly rather than a noisy drinking spot. It's about a 30-second walk from Kyodo Station, down into the basement, and the space surrounded by plants and soft lighting fits the description of a "quiet hideaway." Many customers come alone, and it seems like an easy place to stop in for a drink after work or as a second stop.

Easy to enjoy late into the night

Hours are Monday through Friday 18:00-1:00, and Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 15:00-1:00. The post also says it's busiest around 11 p.m., suggesting it's supported more as a place to spend the night slowly than to rush in before the last train. Since it's open late into the night, it's also a good fit for people who want to enjoy craft beer late.

Pairs well with spiced dishes

The owner is said to have trained in India, and the spice curry is authentic. The mixed curry is introduced as having a good balance of slowly simmered curry, refreshing side dishes and acidity, and spice that's not too heavy. Its charm lies not only in the beer itself but also in enjoying it together with the food.

This is a place for anyone in Kyodo who wants to enjoy craft beer and spiced dishes in a calm atmosphere.
