Gotanda’s CRAFTSMAN taps Michinoku Fukushima Beer Peach Ale
Gotanda beer pub CRAFTSMAN has added Peach Ale from Michinoku Fukushima Beer as a guest pour. Brewed with Fukushima-grown Aka-tsuki peaches, it is a dry fruit beer with a subtle peach aroma.
Hop BroI want to talk about the Peach Ale tapping at Craftman, the craft beer bistro in Gotanda. It's a guest beer from Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer, and that already sounds promising.
MugiWait, a peach beer? Is it sweet like juice, or can you actually crush it after work?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It uses Fukushima's Akatsuki white peaches, but it's a dry fruit ale. The peach aroma stays gentle, and the sweetness does not take over.
MugiHold on, dry? Like laundry-on-the-balcony dry? Even with peaches?
Hop BroClose, but not quite. It means the sweetness doesn't linger, so your mouth stays clean and both the next sip and the food make sense.
MugiOhh, so it's easy with food. If the peach stays subtle, it will not body-check the whole meal!
Hop BroExactly. Craftman is strong on bistro dishes with Japanese ingredients, and they list 31 beers on draft, so pairing this from starters to mains sounds very real.
MugiWhat is that, a beer amusement park? The room is calm and wood-toned, but my excitement is already pouring at full draft pressure!
Hop BroIt also works for real schedules. They're open from 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends, so it's perfect for an after-work pint or a slow dinner.
MugiThat helps a lot! But if it's a guest beer, that means limited-time tap energy, right? If I wait too long, the peach vanishes?
Hop BroExactly, and that is why I want to test the white peach finish with food before the keg disappears. Purely serious field research, obviously.
MugiThen it's settled. I want that pint now, and I want it with food. Let's go meet Peach Ale in Gotanda!
Michinoku Fukushima Beer 'Peach Ale'
Gotanda’s craft beer bistro CRAFTSMAN has introduced Peach Ale as a guest beer. The brewery is Michinoku Fukushima Beer, and the beer is described as a dry-style fruit beer made with Fukushima-grown Aka-tsuki white peaches. The aroma is said to carry a gentle peach note without becoming overly sweet.
CRAFTSMAN is a beer pub built around bistro dishes and draft craft beer, with an official lineup of 31 taps. Its food leans on Japanese ingredients, seasonal fish and vegetables, and charcuterie, so the beer list is clearly meant to work with meals rather than stand apart from them. The warm, wood-focused interior also suits a slow drink after dinner or a stop on the way home.
This Peach Ale should fit naturally at the table. The restrained fruit character makes it easy to pair with starters, seafood, and lighter mains, while still giving enough peach expression to feel seasonal. With weekday hours starting at 5 p.m., it is an easy Gotanda stop for anyone who wants food and beer in one place.
