CraftBeer Bar BRONX to Feature 11 Draft Beers Including FANTASMA on 4/15
CraftBeer Bar BRONX in Higashi-Urawa has released its business information for April 15. The lineup includes 11 draft beers such as Y.MARKET BREWING's "FANTASMA," Baird Brewing's "Imperial IPA," and Matsumoto Brewery's "Gekizaka Golden Mild Ale," and the bar will be open straight through from 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Hop BroToday, it’s about CraftBeer Bar BRONX in Higashi-Urawa rolling out 11 draft beers on tap on 4/15. Since they’re open straight through from 11:30 in the afternoon, it’s nice that you can go from the first drink to the last without breaking the flow.
MugiWhat, open straight through from day to night!? That’s like an event made for beer lovers! 11:30 to 23:00 - when do you even get a break?
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong too. They’ve got FANTASMA from Y.MARKET BREWING, Baird Brewing’s Imperial IPA, and Matsumoto Brewery’s Gekizaka Golden Mild Ale, so it’s very BRONX-like that you can move between character beers and classics on the same day.
MugiWhat is that, even just the names are packed with information! I get Imperial IPA, but Gekizaka Golden Mild Ale - is it gentle or intense?
Hop BroThat’s the key point. A Mild Ale doesn’t push bitterness to the front; it’s a style that tends to bring out the malt aroma and drinkability, so even if the name sounds strong, the actual beer usually leans toward a softer drinking character.
MugiOhhh! Then what about FANTASMA? It sounds a little spooky like a ghost, but the impact of the name is huge!
Hop BroThat’s the kind you want to drink and find out for yourself. BRONX doesn’t just focus on craft beer either - they’ve got Asahi Super Dry in Kuroda pour, Super Cold, Extra Cold, Maruef, and Kuro Nama too, so the range for side-by-side comparisons is really broad.
MugiWait, what’s a Kuroda pour!? How is that different from regular Super Dry? Does the way you pour it change things that much - is beer really that delicate?
Hop BroIt does. The pour changes the fineness of the foam and how the carbonation feels, so even the same label can give a slightly different impression. That’s why BRONX is a beer pub where you can enjoy variations on the same brand too.
MugiWow, that’s the kind of place you get lost in! I love that it’s a 3-minute walk from the west exit of Higashi-Urawa Station and has that hidden-away second-floor vibe, and if they even have Okinawan food, then it’s a route where the whole search for your first drink is delicious!
Hop BroThey had an electrical problem in the morning but still managed to open, which makes you want to support them. Today, whether I start with FANTASMA, Imperial IPA, or maybe Maruef, it already feels like tonight I’m getting pulled to BRONX.

CraftBeer Bar BRONX is a hidden-gem beer pub on the second floor, a 3-minute walk from the west exit of Higashi-Urawa Station. With an interior centered around the counter, it is easy to use for solo drinking or for a small-group standing-drink vibe, and it also offers food centered on Okinawan cuisine that pairs well with beer. Because it stays open straight through, you can enjoy it seamlessly from daytime drinking to a nightcap.
In that day's post, the bar noted that it managed to open safely despite an electrical problem that morning, and also said it had bought the newly released Asahi Gold the day before. The fact that they planned to keep it well chilled for the evening also conveys the shop's stance: they want people to casually compare a broad lineup that includes both draft beers and mainstream favorites.
Centered on Japanese craft beer, BRONX's lineup pairs characterful beers like FANTASMA and Imperial IPA with classics such as Asahi Super Dry in several forms, Maruef, Kuro Nama, Orion, Peroni, and Pilsner Urquell, clearly showing the pub's identity as an everyday beer bar. It's a day where you can choose your first pint without overthinking it, while also making it easy to build a tasting comparison.
