MugiWhoa, 14 taps is way too many! That's the kind of place where you get happily lost about what to drink first!
Hop BroAnd it's only a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, so it's easy to drop by on a whim. Being on the 6th floor gives it a nice little hidden-gem feel too, doesn't it?
MugiWhat is that, it's so close to the station I can't even get my bearings! So being on the 6th floor means it has that hidden-gem vibe?
Hop BroExactly. Because they have homemade dishes by Japanese cuisine chef Icchi, it's not just a drinking spot - you can also enjoy how well the food pairs with the beer.
MugiWow! Being able to drink with food pairings is the best. It suddenly feels like a proper grown-up playground!
Hop BroThe article doesn't specify the style, but the fun of a rotating daily lineup is what this place is all about. There's a real reason to go check today's taps.
MugiI get it, it's that kind of one-day-only encounter! And with Nara Brewing's Space Pocket, the name alone already sounds like it's taking you into space!
Hop BroYeah, since it comes into a lineup that's centered on domestic craft, it's hard for drinkers to overlook. It's also nice that there's no cover charge, it's completely non-smoking, and there's Free Wi-Fi.
MugiThen today I want to secure a Space Pocket and take it easy with Icchi's food! My mouth is already switching into beer mode!
