At the beer pub "vivo! BEER+DININGBAR" near Ikebukuro East Exit, four new beers went on tap on March 15, 2026. Devil Craft's "Juice Jam" leads the lineup, joined by Kinki Pale Ale, House Spallow, and Kyoto Brewing's "〇-nochi-△". Draft Guinness is also available.
The basement beer pub vivo! BEER+DININGBAR in Ikebukuro, Higashi-Ikebukuro, added four new taps on Sunday, March 15, 2026. The star this time is Devil Craft's hazy session IPA "Juice Jam." It is a bitterness-light beer that wraps tropical-fruit-like aroma and flavor in a soft mouthfeel from oats and wheat.
The simultaneous pours are Onihoden's "Kinki Pale Ale ~ Comet Single Ver.~," which switches the hops to Comet; Inkhorn Brewing's "House Spallow," which lets you enjoy the character of European hops in good balance; and Kyoto Brewing's "〇-nochi-△," notable for its layered fruitiness and bitterness. The styles and flavor directions are all different, making it easy to build a tasting lineup.
That day's draft lineup was around 20 beers in total. Alongside vivo! x CYCAD BREWING's collaboration pale ale "42~forty two~," the selection spans domestic craft from Ushitora Brewery, WCB, Shiga Kogen, and Minoh Beer, and also includes cider, draft Guinness, and Yebisu. In addition, the food menu is built to pair with beer, with dishes such as potato salad, risotto with oysters and Kujo leeks, and pizza with canola flowers and bacon, which is very much in keeping with the shop's style.
The shop is located in the Nakatomi Building B1, 1-20-5 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo. For anyone in the Ikebukuro East Exit area who wants to decide "what should I drink today?" this is a beer pub where you can cover a wide range of styles in one stop. On weekends it opens at 3 p.m., so it is also a good fit for people who want to start stacking up glasses while it is still light out.
