Hop BroToday’s topic is the KARAKURI tap takeover in Kanda. It’s a celebratory collab from Craftrock and Enjoy? called Drink Enjoy Day.
MugiWhat! That name already sounds fun! Drink Enjoy Day feels like a holiday my glass would fully support!
Hop BroAnd it’s not just a catchy name. This is an anniversary beer made to celebrate Enjoy?’s third anniversary, pouring at KARAKURI on July 27.
MugiOh wow! An anniversary beer already has me interested. And KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- is the place with oden too, right?
Hop BroExactly. The base beer is Craftrock’s Drink All Day (Kölsch), then they turned it into a dry-hopped version, which is where things get interesting.
MugiHold on, dry-hopped version means what exactly? Do they just sprinkle crunchy hops on top like seasoning?
Hop BroClose, but no. It means adding hops later to build aroma without making it too bitter, basically a big aroma boost in plain terms.
MugiOkay, so it stays easy-drinking but gets extra fragrant! But then the article said natural carbonation, and now we’re back to wizard language!
Hop BroThat part matters. Natural carbonation can give you a fine, creamy foam, and here it layers with smoked malt depth plus floral hop character from a short, cool dry hop.
MugiThat sounds amazing. Solid malt flavor with floral hop aroma on top is somehow a lot to process and exactly what I want in a glass.
Hop BroAnd KARAKURI’s a cozy basement spot, with the AC fixed now, so you can drink in comfort while pairing it with oden or their creative food.
MugiThat’s unfairly tempting. Oden and anniversary beer sounds like the easiest detour after work ever. Hop bro, we’re absolutely going.
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake-, a beer pub in Kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is set to serve a guest beer on Monday, July 27: "Drink Enjoy Day / Craftrock × Enjoy?(Tokyo)". The shop's hours are 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with food last order at 10:00 p.m. (some fried items at 9:30 p.m.) and drink last order at 10:30 p.m.
The featured beer is a 3rd-anniversary release for Enjoy?, a popular spot in Kitami on the Odakyu Line. It is based on Craftrock's standard "Drink All Day (Kölsch)" and built as a dry-hopped version. According to the post, the recipe stays close to the original while adding natural carbonation, smoked malt, and a short, low-temperature dry hop. The result is described as a beer with finer foam, stronger malt presence, and a more floral hop profile.
KARAKURI specializes in craft beer, sake, and natural wine, and serves creative dishes centered on oden. The shop sits in a basement location in Kanda and also operates a bottle shop. Guests can buy bottles and cans to go, fill growlers, and even take home draft beer, sake, or wine. That makes it a practical stop for both a quick pint and a longer dinner pairing.
The post also notes that the air conditioning is working again, making the interior pleasantly cool. For beer drinkers looking for a guest tap in Kanda, this is the kind of place worth checking in on regularly.
