Bibibi. in Daikanyama spotlights Shimokawa Forest Brewery
Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi. has featured Shimokawa Forest Brewery in its ongoing tap showcase. The post fits the bar’s story-first approach, highlighting beers that reflect the brewery’s forest-inspired identity and distinctive, star-themed lineup.
Hop BroI want to talk about Bibibi's tap takeover today. Their Daikanyama pub is featuring Shimokawa Mori no Brewery from Hokkaido, and the lineup looks seriously good.
MugiWait, they don't just pour beer, they also share the brewers' story behind it? That already makes the first sip feel dramatic!
Hop BroExactly. Bibibi is great because you can compare different pours while getting the full picture. This time the spotlight is on Shimokawa Mori no Brewery, which really builds local ingredients into the beer.
MugiWhoa, and what was that about the scent of todo fir? Are we talking about drinking a forest out of a glass?
Hop BroPretty close, actually. Their SIRIUS combines citrus hops and todo fir, so you get this fresh, woodsy aroma. It is like forest bathing, but with carbonation.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And the names like SIRIUS and PROCYON are a whole constellation-themed lineup. The romance level just shot into orbit.
Hop BroPROCYON has rich malt character with a clean freshness, and BETELGEUSE is a South German-style weizen. That means a softer texture thanks to wheat in the grist.
MugiHold on, weizen style suddenly sounds like a pop quiz! What does that actually taste like in normal-person language?
Hop BroIn simple terms, weizen tends to be soft and fruity on the palate. It feels gentle, and the bitterness usually stays approachable, so it is an easy style to enjoy.
MugiOkay, got it! And RIGEL is a coffee beer, right? Forest, stars, wheat, coffee... this lineup has the energy of a whole festival.
Hop BroWhat I like is that it feels broad without feeling random. In Daikanyama, you can taste the place and the perspective, not just the beer in front of you.
MugiThat settles it. I totally want to drink the forest and stars tonight, starting with SIRIUS and working my way to RIGEL.
A Daikanyama beer pub built around the brewer’s story
Bibibi. is a beer pub in Daikanyama that treats brewery background and maker perspective as part of the drinking experience. One of its core ideas is that beer becomes more rewarding when you know who brewed it and where it came from. In its ongoing "tap-on brewery introduction" series, the bar is now featuring Shimokawa Forest Brewery from Shimokawa, Hokkaido.
Beers with a forest character
Shimokawa Forest Brewery is known for beers that make use of todomatsu, a local fir from Shimokawa Town. Its flagship lineup includes `SIRIUS`, which combines citrus hops with todomatsu aroma, `PROCYON`, a pilsner with malt depth and brightness, and `BETELGEUSE`, a South German-style wheat beer. `RIGEL`, a coffee beer, also shows how broad the brewery’s range can be.
At Bibibi., that kind of lineup makes sense: the beer is presented not just as a drink, but as a way to understand the land, the ingredients, and the people behind it. For craft beer fans, it is the kind of place where each pint opens a little more context than the last.
