Beer Cafe Ninkasi features Locobeer’s Try It! and Sakura Kaorinonama
Beer Cafe Ninkasi in Yaho, Kunitachi highlighted Locobeer’s Sakura Kaorinonama and the collaborative Try It! with Joyato Living in a June 20 post. The neighborhood beer pub offers 10 draft craft beers in a relaxed setting near the station.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about BEER CAFE NINKASI in Yaho: a calm beer pub two minutes from the north exit, now pouring two Loco Beer taps.
MugiWhat, only two minutes from the station and it's a beer paradise? 10 craft taps means my 'quick stop' plan is already dead!
Hop BroExactly, and the stars this time are Sakura Kaori no Nama and 'Try It!': the first is a Kolsch, and the second is a bitter made with Joya-to Living.
MugiHold on, Kolsch and Bitter sound intense already. Are those beer styles or finishing moves?
Hop BroBeer styles, but I respect the finishing-move energy. A crisp Kolsch goes down clean and elegant, while a bitter builds around firm, steady bitterness.
MugiOhh, so it's basically a compare-and-sip combo: one for easy gulping, one for slow dramatic nodding?
Hop BroThat's it. The fun part is watching the temperature shift change the beer. As it warms a bit, the aroma and bitterness show up differently.
MugiBeer changing expressions with temperature is absurdly fancy. For flavor progression, what am I actually paying attention to?
Hop BroStart with the first-light impression, then the aroma through the throat, then the finish. NINKASI has easygoing seating too, so you can actually notice those changes alone or with friends.
MugiAnd it's no-cover, non-smoking, kid-friendly, and with Wi-Fi? That's offensively convenient. I'm suddenly craving a Yaho nightcap starting with the Kolsch and ending with the bitter!
Hop BroThat sequence is perfect. I want us to do a Loco Beer flight and turn it into one of those quiet nights with way too much flavor talk.
MugiDone. We'll open with Sakura Kaori no Nama, land on 'Try It!,' and pretend we're being analytical while absolutely just wanting another pint!
Beer Cafe Ninkasi sits about a two-minute walk from Yaho Station North Exit, at the edge of a residential area. It opened in January 2016 as the second location of Kokubunji Gambriinus. The bar serves 10 draft craft beers, three draft wines, and a selection of bottled wines. It is non-smoking, has no table charge, offers free Wi-Fi, and welcomes families.
In the June 20, 2026 post, two Locobeer beers were featured:
- `Locobeer / Sakura Kaorinonama`
Kölsch
- `Locobeer / Try It!`
Bitter
Locobeer is based in Sakura, Chiba, and the post shows a nice contrast between a light, easy-drinking Kölsch and a bitter beer built around a clearer hop-and-malt profile. It is not a flashy lineup, but it is the kind of selection that rewards slow drinking and side-by-side comparison.
With 6 counter seats and 14 table seats, Ninkasi is sized well for a solo pint or a small tasting session with friends. For anyone looking for a calm place in Yaho to enjoy local and collaborative craft beer, this is an easy bar to keep on the list.
