SAKURAYAMA BEER, located in Sakurayama-cho, Showa Ward, Nagoya, is a beer pub between Sakurayama Station and Gokiso Station. With a small interior of about 18 seats, it has a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to drop in, while neatly introducing its rotating draft beers on a blackboard.

The guest beers confirmed on this blackboard this time number six. First is Ise Kadoya Beer's "Golden Dragon." True to a session pale ale, its appeal is its easygoing lightness, making it a good choice for an opening pour. Next, Baird Brewing's "Saison Sayuri" offers the dryness typical of a saison and should pair easily with food.

Also featured is Hop Kotan Brewing's "HOP IN MY HEAD," presented as an American IPA for anyone who wants a solid hop-forward beer. West Coast Brewing's "END GAME MAGIC" is included as well, adding the presence of one of Shizuoka's popular breweries to the lineup.

For a beer with seasonal character, Fujizakura Kogen Beer's spring-limited "Sakura Bock" stands out. It is a good option for those who want to enjoy the malt depth characteristic of a bock. To finish, there is Hansharo Beer's "M Shake ~Matcha Flavor~." This Matcha Milk Shake Ale uses house-made matcha and is interesting as a dessert-like pour.

From light session styles to IPA, a spring-only bock, and a matcha shake ale, the appeal of this post is the six beers that span very different directions. Since this is also a beer pub where food pairs easily, it is a lineup well suited to exploring a broad range of flavors one glass at a time.
