Drinking local draft in Yugawara's hot spring district

"Beer Stand Kadoya," located in Miyakami, Yugawara Town, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a beer pub that blends into the streetscape of this hot spring town. According to the shop's information, it serves draft HUMANS BEER, a local beer from Yugawara, and you can also enjoy draft pours from popular breweries such as ISEKADO and Kakida River Brewing. Rather than a place to settle in slowly at a table, it is the kind of spot where you casually keep ordering another drink at the counter.

In the lineup confirmed this time, names such as HUMANS BEER's HOP JUNGLE, BEERNiK BREWING's Irish Stout, and ISEKADO's Session IPA were listed. From a beer that puts hop aroma front and center, to a roasted-malt stout with a calm character, to a light-drinking Session IPA, it is a setup that makes it easy to compare beers with very different directions.

What sets the shop apart is not just the beer, but how it uses the space. On the second floor there is an event space called "Ochiaiza," so after drinking on the first floor, you can keep enjoying the surrounding atmosphere as it is. There are also complimentary snacks, as well as dumplings, game sausage, roast beef, and roast pork, and because you can also bring your own food to pair with the drinks, it works well as a stop for a pint while traveling.

Business hours are weekdays 14:00-21:30 L.O., and weekends and holidays 11:00-21:30 L.O. From Yugawara Station, take the bus, get off at "Ochiai-bashi," and it is about a 1-minute walk. If you're looking for craft beer in Yugawara, this is one place to remember, since it covers both local brewery beer and guest draft pours.
