Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, announced its latest tap update on Instagram. Four kegs are now lined up: Hansharo Beer, Hoppukotan Brewing, Shiga Kogen Beer, and Oni Densetsu Beer, with Kanpai! Brewing and Let's Beer Works among the beers next in line.
Hop BroAt Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Tokyo, four kegs were tapped all at once. And the lineup is strong: Hansharo Beer, Hoppukotan Brewing, Shiga Kogen, and Oni Densetsu.
MugiWhoa! Just seeing that lineup makes me hungry for beer! It feels like the breweries' personalities are going full force. What exactly is on tap?
Hop BroRight now you can drink Hansharo Beer's "Iza Kakan," Hoppukotan Brewing's "HOP IN MY HEAD," Shiga Kogen Beer's "Draft Pale Ale," and Oni Densetsu Beer's "Kinki Pale Ale." I like that the lineup is full of classic, easy-to-compare beers.
MugiWait, what! The moment you say pale ale, beer suddenly starts feeling like an English homework assignment! What exactly is a pale ale?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a style known for balancing aroma and drinkability. The hop aroma stands out, but the malt base is there too, so each beer's character comes through clearly.
MugiOhhh! So it's the kind of beer that gets you excited from the aroma and then makes perfect sense when you taste it. It seems perfect as an entry point into craft beer.
Hop BroExactly. And the post said they’d open sometime after 6:00 p.m., so it really makes you imagine swinging by after work.
MugiIf I saw that after work, I'd want to head straight there! And there are beers waiting to be tapped too? Having the next round already queued up is almost unfair!
Hop BroThe beers waiting to be tapped are Kanpai! Brewing's "Naemazaka Blueberry Sour," Shiga Kogen Beer's "India Pale Ale," and Let's Beer Works' "1759 Ichinana Go Kyu." It's a lineup that ranges from fruit sours to IPA, and even just waiting inside sounds fun.
MugiWow, that lineup in the relaxed atmosphere of Sendagi sounds amazing... But June is a busy month, so the temporary closure is something to check.
Hop BroExactly. It's closed temporarily from June 5 to June 9, 2026, so checking the business status before you go is a must. Well, just reading the article has made me thirsty.
MugiThirsty! I'm already in full I want to do a tasting comparison mode! Let's have a serious discussion about what our first beer should be!
