HOTEL & CAFE NUPKA in Obihiro, Hokkaido, is promoting its rooftop beer garden with its house craft beer, Tabi no Hajimari no Beer. In the post, the venue says the beer is usually served in bottles in the beer garden, while the draft version is available only on Wednesdays. It is the kind of setup that fits a summer afternoon on the terrace.

Tabi no Hajimari no Beer was created as HOTEL NUPKA's original craft beer and first appeared in March 2016. According to official information, it is a single-malt beer made with 100% Tokachi barley malt from Hokkaido and has an ABV of 5%. Brewing is handled by Otaru Beer, and the beer follows the German Beer Purity Law, which helps bring out a clean malt aroma and a solid, rounded body.

NUPKA combines a hotel and cafe in central Obihiro, making it an easy stop for both travelers and locals. What stands out here is not only the beer itself, but the context around it: a rooftop setting, local ingredients, and a beer that is tied to the story of Tokachi. For beer lovers, it is worth visiting for both the bottled version and the Wednesday draft pour.
