Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi updated its tap list on Instagram. They even posted a dish baked with pecans, and I'm already hungry before the first sip.
MugiWhoa, food attack right away! But what even is Yokohama XPA? It sounds strong just because there's an X in it!
Hop BroIt's a Sankt Gallen beer, and you can think of XPA as basically a high-aroma pale ale. The hop aroma really stands out, and the finish is crisp.
MugiI see... but what's a Helles? That's not related to helmets, right?
Hop BroKanpai! Brewing's Jorurizaka Helles is a German-style pale lager. It has a clean malt sweetness and a gentle bitterness. It's the kind of beer that goes down easy.
MugiWow! And they even have a White Ale and Golden Oni Pale Ale? That's a huge range!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: Hitachino Nest and Oni Densetsu Beer side by side. The former has the soft character of wheat, while the latter brings the citrusy notes you'd expect from a pale ale, making it easy to compare them.
MugiBut there are still beers waiting to be tapped? They're clearly trying to keep us hooked for the next update!
Hop BroExactly. Hoppukotan's upopo -Upopo-, Ushitora's Abe Farm Pear Saison, and Shingetsu Beer's American IPA 2 are waiting in the wings. The saison has a bit of sparkle, the IPA leans heavily into hops, and the way the lineup changes every time a keg kicks is very Ishii.
MugiAnd if they're open starting May 4, I have to go! I want to chase the draft lineup in Sendagi, snack on pecans, and finish with a Heartland.
Beer Pub Ishii, located on the Yomise-dori shopping street in Sendagi, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, updated its tap list on Instagram. The post begins with the line, "We baked it topped with pecans..." and presents a food dish together with the draft lineup.
The day's starting lineup consisted of the following four beers:
- Sankt Gallen: Yokohama XPA
- Kanpai! Brewing: Jorurizaka Helles
- Hitachino Nest: White Ale
- Oni Densetsu Beer: Golden Oni Pale Ale
Also waiting to be tapped were:
- Hoppukotan Brewing: upopo -Upopo-
- Ushitora Brewery: Abe Farm Pear Saison
- Shingetsu Beer: American IPA 2
All of them are distinctive beers from Japanese breweries, spanning a wide range of styles from lager and Helles to White Ale, pale ale, saison, and IPA.
Beer Pub Ishii is a beer pub centered on Japanese craft beer, serving three rotating taps each day along with a permanent Heartland Lager. Because each keg is connected to the next beer as soon as it runs dry, it is easy to encounter a different pint on each visit. The way the pub is set up to pair well with everything from light snacks to full meals is also very much in keeping with the place.
The post also announced business hours for Izakaya AYAYA from May 4 to 6, 2026, from 15:00 to 22:00. If you are following both the moving tap list and the food in Sendagi, this is an update worth noting.
