Better life with upcycle opens its first taproom, Third Grain, in Yokohama's Bashamichi
Ebina-based Better life with upcycle has opened Third Grain, its first taproom-cafe, in Yokohama's Bashamichi area. The new space serves bread and coffee during the day and craft beer with food at night, bringing the brewery's bread-led craft story into the city.
Hop BroToday's topic is Third Grain opening. Better life with upcycle from Ebina has opened its first taproom-cafe in Bashamichi, Yokohama.
MugiWhat! Their first taproom? Bread and coffee by day, craft beer and food by night? That shop has a double life!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's an Ebina-based brand that started as a bakery, so you can experience that bread-to-beer story right in the city.
MugiWait, bread to beer? Does a loaf suddenly turn fizzy? Should I be watching my breakfast more closely?
Hop BroNot instantly fizzy. It's an upcycling concept: giving things like bread crusts new value through beer and even gin.
MugiNo way, gin too? Also, spent grain sandwich sounds like a spell from brewing wizard school.
Hop BroHere's the simple version: after mashing, you're left with fiber-rich grain. At Third Grain, they use it in sandwiches, so even non-drinkers can enjoy the place.
MugiOhh, so it's friendly for non-drinkers too. With coffee and sweets, I could drop by even in the middle of sightseeing.
Hop BroAnd it's easy from Bashamichi and Kannai Station. They're open from 11:00 to 22:30 and closed on Tuesdays, so it works from lunch to late beer.
MugiI'm sold. Two rounds in one day: coffee first, then craft beer at night. That is an elite schedule.
Hop BroExactly. The whole brand story is built into the place, and now I seriously want a pint in Bashamichi.
Better life with upcycle has opened Third Grain, its first taproom-cafe, in Yokohama's Bashamichi area. The space serves bread and coffee by day, then craft beer and food in the evening, giving the brewery a new place to share its story.
The brand is based in Ebina, Kanagawa, and began as a bakery before expanding into beer and gin through an upcycling approach. It has focused on creating new value from ingredients such as bread crusts and other overlooked parts of food production. Third Grain brings that background into a physical space where visitors can experience it directly.
For guests who do not drink alcohol, the menu also includes fiber-rich sandwiches made with malt dregs bread, plus coffee and sweets. The location is easy to reach from Kannai and Bashamichi stations, making it a convenient stop for people exploring Yokohama.
- Hours: 11:00-22:30 (last order 22:00)
- Closed: Tuesdays
- Address: Nakasato Building 101, 4-48 Sumiyoshicho, Naka-ku, Yokohama
